While in London, lanky dancer Jerry (Fred Astaire) and his publicity team (George Burns and Gracie Allen) end up hobnobbing with Lady Alyce Marshmorton (Joan Fontaine) and the toffs and staff at Tottney Castle in this adaption of a novel by P.G. Wodehouse. While not one of Astaire's best films, there are some good numbers (especially the Academy Award winning "Stiff Upper Lip"), amusing gags (although the humour is a bit dated), and a slight, but entertaining story. The cast is generally excellent (although Fontaine's lack of dancing skills is frequently commented on) and Gracie Allen gets most of the best lines.
