Fred and Vera Ellen have negative chemistry in this. They are such a sexless pairing. Still, it has Fred Astaire singing and dancing, so I’m going to enjoy it quite a bit. The rooftop dance and “I wanna be a dancing man” are enough for me. Charles Walters remains the worlds most bleh director. He has never done anything creative or offensive. Imagine how many more great films we would have gotten if he had 20% of Minnelli’s talent.
