This bright Technicolor vehicle for Marge and Gower Champion is chock full of well-choreographed musical numbers - especially the very sexy "Cairo." The film had a high rating on IMDb until it received a (well-written) negative review.
The divorce drama doesn't get in the way of the music, and Dennis O'Keefe is excellent as the divorce lawyer. Marge and Gower are also good. Especially Gower - who's as cute as a button - as a hypochondriac.
Every other film that featured Marge and Gower Champion had so-so choreography at best, which makes this one a welcome pleasure.
This *is* a small musical compared to a film such as "The Band Wagon," but it's enormously entertaining in its own right.
