The king & queen of tap (Fred Astaire

& Eleanor Powell)

trade steps in their only screen pairing to a tuneful score by Cole Porter. Astaire is a down-on-his-luck hoofer who only has eyes for established Broadway star Powell. He desperately wants to prove to her that his footwork is as fancy as hers...& he gets his chance in the "Begin the Beguine" due dance finals. Wow!
Rated NR 1 hour 43 minutes 1940
3 stars. Pretty costumes, good acting, great dancing!
