An American musical romance directed by Stanley Donen, starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell.
A brother and sister dance team visit England and both find romantic interests there.
The plot was exceedingly simple, but the execution was good. The choreography was absolutely brilliant, with moving belts that the dancers stood on and moving set pieces. There was even a scene in which the male lead danced with a coat rack that was genius. Also, there was a scene in which the same man danced in a room that was turning over so that he could dance on the walls and ceiling. I don't usually like musicals or romances, but this was done so well that my prejudices didn't hold up. I'm rating it good.
