Famed English humorist PG Wodehouse goes song and dance in this sprightly and Brit-ly musical comedy adapted by Wodehouse from his own novel, a tale of marriage pool betting pool run by the servants on an English estate. Fred Astaire plays the lead hoofer and love interest alongside Joan Fontaine as the distressed damsel, while George Burns and Gracie Allen enchant and delight. George Gershwin himself was an admirer of the original novel and pushed for the film. Wodehouse joked that Gerswhin's admiration was due to the fact that the lead in the novel was a singer named George. A sparkling film that boasts a pitch perfect score, including the debut of a raft of future timeless classics including Nice Work If You Can Get It and A Foggy Day, to name but two. Distinguished by the always able direction of George Stevens, the film has some of the most surprising Astaire dance scenes ever seen, and has dance numbers in which Burns and Allen effortlessly hold their own.

Directed By George Stevens
Starring Fred Astaire, George Burns, Gracie Allen
