As unpalatable as I always imagined, although I did tune out before the kidnappings.  This is based on Stephen Vincent Benet's short story "The Sobbin' Women," and directed by Stanley Donen, whose movies in this project have been hit or miss.

I wasn't really drawn into this story of a brother-and-sister dance team (with Jane Powell definitely looking three decades than Astaire), although it's mostly innocuous.  Stanley Donen directed.  This is on a "Fred Astaire" DVD collection, with two more coming up.
