Audience Member To my knowledge the last film Fred Astaire was involved with (I think he was 79 when he made this)& unfortunately it wasn't very good at all. The first quarter of the film was interesting & unique & I believe the inexperienced director just didn't know how to direct it at all. It started with 3 men in New York who had separate issues who all needed a Santa suit for a situation & then it just got confusing. The stories made no sense & Fred Astaire appeared in 8 different roles, it started off as a good idea but unfortunately just fizzled out. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Have on tape but would love on DVD! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member When i saw this as a child i thought it was brilliant - it evokes memories of happy childhood days.
