I liked it. This is a musical comedy, which means: don't pay attention to the predictable story, just enjoy the comical relief and the musical numbers. This film has a great Glenn Miller score, simply lovable. I was afraid I was going to find Henie's performance annoying, but she's actually quite good through out - nothing Oscar worthy or anything like that - and John Payne, an actor I never really liked (apart from the classic Miracle on 34th Street), works well with her. The ice-skate numbers were a special treat. We can't compare with today's ice-skaters, like so many other users have said, but we can't help being impressed either. It was a good experience and I can say it got me interested in the rest of Sonja's work. Boy, could she ice skate!
