★★★★ · excellent musical melodrama · sweep8 · 2024-04-27
Well worth your time as a relaxing entertaining movie. Rita Hayworth showcasing her considerable dancing abilities rumoured that she was a favourite of Fred Astaire especially for her highly technical dancing and performance abilities. Great supporting cast.
