“A fantastic movie, featuring two of the finest motion picture performers ever, Astaire and Judy Garland, in their only cinematic pairing.” - Douglas Pratt, Hollywood Reporter

Garland stars as the inexperienced Hannah Brown, who is picked to be Hewes’ new dance partner after his longtime partner goes solo.
