Summary
: 
In this irresistible musical, the legendary dancing duo is at the pinnacle of their art as a feckless gambler and the shrewd dancing instructor in whom he more than meets his match. Director George Stevens laces their romance with humor and clears the floor for the movie's showstopping dance scenes, in which they take seemingly effortless flight in a virtuosic fusion of ballroom and tap styles.
