      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Astaire's best musicals (of which Top Hat is the pinnacle of perfection) were never stingy with the comic quota, and this one is no exception. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 10, 2022 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row A film that's easy to recommend based on its stars alone, and the jazzy Cole Porter score makes for a toe-tapping good time. Rated: 3/4 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The first teaming of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth has some nice numbers by Cole Porter, but it's not as good a musical as their second and last one. Rated: C+ Aug 16, 2012 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Lesser Astaire, but still way above average for any musical. Rated: 4/5 Mar 14, 2009 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A leaden musical/comedy, built around a series of misunderstandings. Rated: C Mar 7, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Predictable but inoffensive. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Blobbo X Young Rita Hayworth at her most beautifullist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Janet W Not the best of the two Astair-Hayworth pairings. Good dancing but the plot is way too convoluted, even for a Fred Astaire movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/23 Full Review william d The story ain't much, but hey, Fred and Rita together. What more do you need? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I had great fun with this musical, although it's a bit thin on songs. The plot is mostly just a vehicle to get to the good stuff: the dancing. Having Fred Astaire's character be a choreographer allows the musical numbers to be inserted in a totally diegetic way. Fred and Rita are incredibly charming when they dance together. They're both just a complete joy to watch. I found Frieda Inescort highly amusing as Julia, Martin's long-suffering, skeptical wife. The film is generally very funny, and I had a lot of laugh-out-loud moments; however, the character who babbles nonsense words to confuse people was a bit grating to me (the first few times this happened I feared I was having a stroke), and this type of humor was definitely overused, to the point of giving it the last word in the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fred dancing is always nice to watch, even when the story doesn't intrigue me.
