acsdoug D @acsdoug Aug 10, 2025 Don't expect much from the story. Like all the movie musicals from this era it's just boy loves girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl in the end. The true value of these films lies in the musical numbers, whether they're any good or not, and in this case I thought they were very good. Yes, Rita Hayworth is talented and nice to look at, but Gene Kelly steals the show when he dances with his greatest dance partner: himself.

See more david f @dfulmer Jul 3, 2022 Some beautiful dancing, and some dry wit of the old Hollywood Studio System screenwriters in this great Rita Hayworth/Gene Kelly film. See more Rare T @RT00283363 Apr 6, 2022 The production was way ahead of its time. Plot is mediocre; the actors, music, and performances are what make the movie enjoyable. There is a slight touch of comedy which is also helpful. See more Jan 16, 2022 Wacky costumes, big stars....but a bare bones plot and forgettable songs. Best thing about the movie is Eve Arden ...she was ahead of her time. See more Aug 22, 2020 One of the best for costumes and cinematography. Story seems trite now, and emphasis on physical beauty as basis for success and love seems sexist - but at the time it probably made sense. Mostly though, it was so much fun to see Rita, Gene (and even Phil) romping around so skillfully and playfully. Eve Arden does what she does best, and she looks great doing it. And again let me repeat: The costumes are among the best. See more Read all reviews
