This is the first teaming of Fred Astaire & Rita Hayworth in which they are embroiled in a comically labyrinthine plot to stay out of each other's way but keeping finding themselves falling into each other's arms. Astaire's boss, played Robert Benchley (Peter's father), is putting on a new show but also wants to put the moves on Hayworth w/o his wife finding out so he concocts a fiction that he's playing the middleman to Astaire & Hayworth but not wanting to be involved in these hi-jinks, Astaire enlists in the army but soon finds he really has feelings for her but what will Hayworth's current beau think of all this. Moving w/the speed of a hummingbird on a double decaf, the loony situations come a mile a minute all the while Astaire & Hayworth dance their socks off to charming dividends.
