Once again, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers showcase their talents and chemistry in Mark Sandrich's musical comedy, Follow the Fleet. Astaire plays Bake Baker, a Navy man whose on-again off-again relationship with Sherry Martin (Rogers) is the source of many laughs. The two also have the task of playing Cupid to Bake's buddy Bilge (Randolph Scott before his cowboy days) and Sherry's sister, Connie (Harriet Hilliard).
My advise: Skip the story, sit back, and enjoy the dance numbers and music by Irving Berlin. Astaire and Rogers are a site to behold. Ginger also shows that she has a equally talented voice when it's not filled with bicarbonate soda (see the movie). Words simply cannot describe their grace before the screen. Have fun.
