- Synopsis:
One of Fred Astaire's least known, but double Oscar nominated, dance movies features Fred performing his legendary breaking glass dance routine. Fred Atwell is a decorated Air Force pilot, home on leave and expected to act as a cardboard hero for a morale-boosting tour of his Flying Tiger squadron. Bored by the whole affair however, Fred takes off his uniform and goes incognito in New York for a few days, bumping into Joan Mannion, a bright-eyed photographer who sings and dances. Determined to win over the girl for what he is, and not his reputation, Fred allows Joan to think he's a waster who doesn't want to serve his country. Naturally, Joan wants nothing to do with this shirker, but then she sees him dance... - Actors:
