Entertainment Reviews:
It needs an effort of the mind to remember that Mr. Fred Astaire was not invented by a film director and drawn by a film draughtsman. He is the nearest we are ever likely to get to a human Mickey [Mouse].

The Spectator
Rating: 4/5 --
Not Fred and Ginger's best, but great Irving Berlin songs and dances
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: B --
Though not one of Astaire-Rogers strongest musicals, the musical is still enjoyable despite its rather bland plot.

The world's greatest stepping pair surpass themselves as usual.

Burdened with a dull plot but blessed with a rousing Irving Berlin score.

...the standout numbers here, ironically, are the solo ones.

It was fun to see western star Randolph Scott garbed in a sailor's uniform and acting like an old salt.

Description by OLDIES.com:
All hands on deck!
In the fifth of 10 Astaire/Rogers pairings, Fred trades his top hat for a sailor's cap, Randolph Scott gets the girl (pre-Nelson Harriet Hilliard), Ginger gets a tap solo and viewers get the unending delight of seven sparkling Irving Berlin numbers, including "Let Yourself Go," "We Saw The Sea," the duo's zany "I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket" skit and their sublimely powerful "Let's Face The Music And Dance."
Astaire is Bake Baker, a hoofer now given to stepping a sailor's horn-pipe while he and other swabbies patrol the seas for democracy. Rogers is his former partner Sherry, now convoying the Navy around a ballroom for 10 cents a dance. But one day the fleet returns to home port. Bake again meets Sherry, and the partnership is renewed, at least for one more show. In small early-career roles, look for a very blonde Lucille Ball and a very young Betty Grable.

Product Description:
When he is rejected by his lady love, a song-and-dance man enlists in the navy. The estranged couple later meet again and join forces to solve the romantic difficulties of another star-crossed pair. An Astaire-Rogers musical featuring some of Irving Berlin's best songs including: "Let's Face the Music and Dance," "Let Yourself Go," "We Saw the Sea." Typical but delightful.
