Film Reviews by Sarah

This film has funny moments and is generally an easy watch but the last 20 minutes are just abismal, ending in a face on shot of the happy couple talking to the camera (i.e. you) of what little things you can do to prevent global warming. It was farcical and ruined any enjoyment I had of the film, I am well aware that if I turn off the tap while I brush my teeth I'm doing a fine thing for society, I don't need Rhys Thomas to tell me so. The only time I'd watch this again is if I needed to educate a 3 year old on the doom the planet appears to be facing, though the doom of the British film funding boards appears to be more pressing if they fund rubbish like this.

Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers are breathtaking in this extravagant display of their dancing talent. I remember a dance teacher once telling me that Astaire re-shot a scene in this movie 80 times, and this perfectionism certainly paid off. While the storyline can feel like it is dragging a little at times as is common in 'mistaken identity' storylines, this is more than overshadowed by their onscreen chemistry and lavish settings. A must see for all fans of dance & classic Hollywood cinema
