Poorly written story, with two, or possibly three, really good dance sequences.
Seriously folks, everything between the dancing, will make you either snore or cringe. It's really that awful. Almost insulting to our intelligence.
I know some people who would agree with me, would say that the singing was nice as well as the dancing. I personally though didn't like either the story, or the singing.
Then when you throw in Astaires horribly stupid solo dance, which he does in blackface, then I feel justified giving this movie 3/10. The fact that it's the weakest of the dance scenes is inconsequential.
I rarely give anything less then a 4. I reserve my 2s and 3s for terrible movies, that have a reputation for greatness. This is one of those.
Do yourself a favor and skip it. Just watch the dance scenes on YouTube instead.
