Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The most famous act finds Garland and Astaire dressed as bums for "A Couple of Swells," but there's also ... the pair tackling the title tune and -- my favorite -- Astaire showing off his incomparable tap-dancing prowess in "Steppin' Out with My Baby."

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Pretty, deft, and tuneful but, given the top-rate talent involved, not particularly inspired.

...has the advantage of Fred Astaire and Judy Garland in the lead roles, Irving Berlin numbers throughout, and hats upon hats upon hats.

Gorgeous MGM musical with all-time greats Garland and Astaire.

The Irving Berlin score is bright, and Walters is one director who knows when to leave Astaire to his own devices.

Product Description:
An Irving Berlin spectacular in which Astaire plays the part of a dance man whose partner abandons the act. Fortunately, his new partner turns out to be Garland. This is the only picture in which the two superstars worked together. Academy Awards: Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.
