Though respectfully reviewed, his books have never...
This time Astaire is Petroff, a ballet dancer who falls in love with Linda Keene (Ginger Rogers), a tap dancer. Because of the unique means Petroff selects to meet his inamorata, a set of misunderstandings begins which brings into action an ocean liner, a pack of dogs, an airplane, a marriage for business reasons, an absent-minded impresario (Edward Everett Horton), an oily hotel manager (Eric Blore) and a scheming noblewoman (Ketti Gallian) before the two dancers arrive in each other's arms for good...
