Entertainment Reviews:
The dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is one of the most agreeable sights of civilization. This has been said before - possibly in this column - but that isn't any good reason for not saying it again.

Rating: A --
The fourth pairing of Astaire-Rogers is one of their best and RKO top grosser of the year.

Chicago Reader
...Lovely costumes, wonderful Irving Berlin songs and those heavenly dance numbers...
USA Today
Finally, thanks more to Fred Astaire than any other single influence, the character of musicomedy in the cinema has now completely changed.

TIME Magazine
It's a chiffon-light romantic comedy....Irving Berlin's songs are unforgettable.
Total Film
The third Astaire-Rogers movie and one of the best.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Perhaps the best-remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, Top Hat has it all: Art Deco elegance, a whimsical storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the ideal chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score. It's a wake-up call for romance when Fred's exuberant "No Strings" hotel room dance disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) in the room below. Love beckons - until Ginger gets the wrong idea that Fred is a married playboy. Among the highlights: Fred mows down the chorus in his signature "Top Hat, White Tie And Tails," the shimmeringly dreamy "Isn't It A Lovely Day (To Be Caught In The Rain?)" and the tender "Cheek To Cheek." Nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Top Hat is top-flight movie magic.

Description by Warner Home Video:
Perhaps the best remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, Top Hat has it all: Art Deco elegance, a wonderfully addled storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the incomparable chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score.
It's a wake-up call for romance when Fred's exuberant No Strings dance in his hotel suite disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) in the room below. They meet cute, Fred decides he'd like a few strings (preferably a tied knot) after all and love beckons until Ginger mistakenly gets the idea that Fred is a married playboy. But mistakes can be wonderfully, wackily resolved. Among the highlights: Fred mows down the chorus line in his signature Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, the shimmeringly dreamy Isn't It a Lovely Day (to Be Caught in the Rain)' and the rhapsodically tender Cheek to Cheek. Nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Top Hat is top-drawer entertainment magic.
