Rating: 0/5 --
Truly unbearable; nothing works. When even Astaire isn't coming across, you know you're watching a stinker.

Rating: C+ --
Minnelli's second film suffers from the casting of Lucille Bremer (producer Arthur Freed's mistress) in the lead role, and the public was not crazy about seeing Astaire playing a thief.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Fred Astaire gracing an imaginative, surreal 16-minute ballet with his wit and unerring dance mastery; a jazzy, glorious-in-Technicolor street carnival pulsing with movement and music; director Vincente Minnelli's lush, savvy sophistication evident in every scene - these elements highlight Yolanda and the Thief, a ravishingly beautiful fantasy about a con artist (Astaire) in a mythical Latin American country who convinces a naive heiress (Lucille Bremer) that he's her guardian angel. It's a perfect plot to fleece the winsome mark, until love gets other ideas. Ahead of its time in tone and visual style and largely underappreciated at its release, this musical is a real find for fans of bold, inventive filmmaking.
Product Description:
In this musical fantasy, Astaire is a slippery con-man out to swindle heiress Yolanda by posing as her guardian angel, but finds himself falling in love with her. Songs include "Coffee Time" and "Will You Marry Me'"
