Swing time: Fred Astaire plays a gambler intent on raising $25,000 in New York in order to marry his fiance back home. Romantic complications occur when he meets dancing teacher, Ginger Rogers. Top hat: Rogers and Astaire are caught up in a mistaken identity plot, in which Rogers assumes that Astaire is already married, and is alternatively charmed and repelled by his advances. Follow the fleet: Astaire plays a hoofer-turned-sailor. Rogers is his ex-partner, now convoying the Navy around for 10 cents a dance. One day the fleet returns to home port and the partnership is renewed--at least for one more show. Shall we dance: Ginger Rogers is a snobbish musical comedy star who couldn't care less that ballet star Fred Astaire has fallen for her, until they dance together. The Barkleys of Broadway: In their first film together in a decade, Fred and Ginger play a bickering show biz couple; Fred is a driven dancer while Ginger would like to give up the dancing act for stage dramas.
