If you compare this to the musicals made by Astaire for RKO with Rodgers, you can see how inferior this is.
The script is by no means as clever.
There are no great comedy roles, such as those done by Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore in the RKO musicals.
The music is not as good.
But what this movie does have is a radiant young Rita Hayworth. It's a shame she doesn't get more dance numbers, because she is a wonder to watch when she dances. She is what makes this movie worth sitting through.
Trust me, it's worth it.
