OK. I'll probably annoy most people by this revue but here goes: the plot is farcical, the actors and actresses are simply going along with the childish script and you wonder how did they get enough money for the over-the-top sets and dresses. Then you consider the dance numbers which change whole film in about 15 minutes of pure magic. The dance steps are phenomenal. There is an artistry involved which each of the steps is breathtakingly new and novel. Rita Hayworth also changes from a rather pedestrian actress to a wonderful dancer. If she could learn these steps in a morning then she must have an unusual memory. Whether she was better or worse than Ginger is irrelevant; she brought a different 'character' to the dancing that was new and refreshing.
