Don Hewes (Fred Astaire) and Nadine Hale (Ann Miller) are a dancing team. But she signs a contract to do her own show. Then Don claims that he can pick any girl from the restaurant dancing troop to replace Nadine. Hannah Brown (Judy Garland) just happens to be that any girl. He teaches the young dancer who has trouble differentiating left and right. They eventually become a good dancing team. Don's friend Jonathan Harrow III (Peter Lawford) falls for the lovely Hannah, but it's too late. She's already fallen for her dance partner.
Fred Astaire is a bit too old for Judy Garland. Gene Kelly would have been a better fit. Judy Garland is hilarious and charming. How she attracts men is as funny as heck. This is the teaming up of Astaire and Garland with the great Irving Berlin. The big three is enough to recommend this for all musical lovers. It is chalk full of songs and dances. The dance I love the most is the one where he's dancing in slow motion while the back ground is happening in normal speed. It's a fun effect.
