Breezy Fred Astaire vehicle where he basically plays himself in England and falls in love with the lovely Joan Fontaine. Mostly it's an excuse for songs and dancing, and both are very good. The George and Ira Gershwin soundtrack includes the classic "Nice Work If You Can Get It" and others. Some clever dance sequences including a fun house with mirrors and moving sidewalks, and my favorite: Astaire tap dancing with a drum kit at the end.
