Fred and Ginger reunite after ten years to play a bickering married show-biz couple.  I was rooting for the magic to happen but this is actually on a level with 1939's The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (reviewed here https://reviewingeverymovieiown.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-story-of-vernon-and-irene-castle.html).  At least it was nice to glimpse Billie Burke outside of The Wizard of Oz.

Sidney Sheldon was an uncredited contributor to the Comden & Green screenplay.  Charles Walters directed.
