Peter Bradshaw Guardian Astaire’s feline inverted-triangle face smiles atop a black swallow-tailed body undulating across the screen; he creates an exotic strangeness, juxtaposed with Ginger Rogers’s level-headed simplicity. Rated: 5/5 Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) In short, perfection. Rated: 5/5 Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Empire Magazine If you want only one Astaire-Rogers musical, Top Hat is obligatory. Rated: 5/5 Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Tony Sloman Radio Times Good-natured, warm-hearted and very witty, this is a movie to treasure for its sumptuous Art Deco design and the pairing of its principal players. Rated: 5/5 Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins One of the cleverest of the musical comedies of the '30s, as well as, arguably, Astaire and Rogers' greatest collaboration. Rated: 9/10 Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine Tops everything that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers have done, and clicks as the gladdest, smoothest, truestto-medium movie musical ever made.

William B A nice movie with the iconic Fred Astaire. Very fun. Must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Alec B It's not much more than a series of contrivances and excuses to get Fred and Ginger to dance but it's not like that's a problem.
