Both witty and delightful, The Gay Divorcee features early performances from Astaire and Rogers, setting the tone for their future pairings to come.

It continues to rank as one of the best of the 10 Astaire & Rogers offerings.

Also standard for their pictures, Astaire finds time to sing and dance alone, for his own amusement, as he ponders how to win over the girl.
