Fred Astaire plays the part of a misunderstood and much abused bachelor whom the decorative Ginger Rogers mistakes for the husband of a friend. However the plot, such as it is, is unimportant, except as it provides opportunity for clever farcical dialogue and terpsichorean wooing by Fred Astaire...
...Stolen Harmony" is a mixture between a gangster pictures, a behind-the-scenes musical cofedy, and a bus romance. It has all the thrills known to conventional movie-land,--speeding busses, motor-cycles and sirens, gangster hideouts, a misunderstood hero, gauze covered females, crooning erotic paw dances, luxurious bars, a gun-battle, tough humor, raucous humor, dirty humor, love and kisses.

One must not be misunderstood; the metaphor is not mathematically accurate, for there are dissimilarities, but the total effect of both on the reader is the same. That is, they are young poets more lyrical than philosophical, though Mr. Lehmann is trying to feel his way toward a point of view...
