[Despite] a lack of anything very virile, the film, the film has definite beauty... Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are technically excellent.

If joy and liberation exudes from the best Astaire-Rogers films, this is defined by restriction.

Perhaps the best the marvelous couple have made since Gay Divorce.

It's not exactly a stretch for Astaire and Rogers, but they do the old rags-to-riches angle seamlessly, and the finale is surprisingly touching.
