"Astaire and Rogersbecome Astaire-Rogers in this film-you can see it happening....It istheir most ebullient film." (Arlene Croce) Randolph Scott and IreneDunne (who sings a piercing "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes") sharethe leads with Fred and Ginger, who dance some of their most beautiful,if too-short, duets. In their solos, Ginger feigns a French accent for"I'd Be Hard to Handle", and Fred offers a dazzlinglyunconvincing "I Won't Dance" protestation. Greeting the film'srevival, Andrew Sarris had this to say in the Village Voice:"Later, when (Astaire and Rogers) were full-fledged stars in theirown vehicles, they seemed always to be living on borrowed time. Herethey are just starting out, wisecracking their way in comic counterpointto the more solemnly romantic Irene Dunne and Randolph Scott. I like thebalance here between the sentimental (Dunne-Scott) and the sarcastic(Astaire-Rogers)."
