...Anchors Aweigh" proves conclusively that Fred Astaire has been dethroned. Kelly's imaginative dance routines are the highlights of the evening. In one charming sequence, he dances with an animated partner in a Disney-like-fairyland. In another, he chooses a pig-tailed eight-year-old to step with in a delightful exhibition of his skill.

This was no consolation to the American public, which foamed at the sprightly invective and caricature in Mrs. Trollope's first book, Domestic Man ners of the Americans.
