Ballet star Pete "Petrov" Peters (Fred Astaire) meets dance star Linda Keene (Ginger Rogers) onboard a ship crossing the Atlantic to New York. She's less than impressed but slowly grows to tolerate him. Unbeknownst to them, a publicity and media storm has been launched to pair them together.
It's the seventh pairing of Fred and Ginger. This is good but not great. More could be done on the ship to play with their chemistry. There's a fun little gag with dogs. I wonder if they could have incorporated a dance there but the dogs probably would have gotten into the way. They do finally have a fun dance at around the one hour mark. The hijinx does improve from there. There's "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" and the duo gets to show off a bit of their roller-skating. That helps a lot.
