Some fabulous dancing in this film, yet againg showing my weakness for Hollywood musicals. 'Dancing in the Dark' has to be one of the most romantic dances ever and it's easy to forget the age difference between Astaire and Charisse. 'Shine on my Shoes' shows that Astaire still had it despite being in his 50s - he was a God!

Just damn entertaining. If nothing else, this is proof that the 1950's was the best era for cinematography in all of American cinema. I love the way Fred Astaire uses his body, even when he's not dancing. Part of his genius was his ability to utilize his loose bones, his grace and his inherant goofiness. Sure, most of these musicals share a common formula, but the chemistry between Astaire and Charisse is at least real and tangible. I also think it's interesting that the group's intended play is not necessarily better than the "modern-day Faust" that was mounted originally. In fact, towards the end, it proves to be really disjointed and odd. I think this is why the film loses some steam in critical areas.

Stunning musical about fading star Fred Astaire making stage comeback with the help of friends Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabares. Jack Buchanon is fun as hammy stage actor who teams up with the group. Cyd Charisse joins in as haughty ballerina. The songs are first rate. Fred's solos and girl hunt ballet are good but I prefer romantic Dancing in the Dark number. The other highlight is Fred cheering up the cast after the first night flops. This was the film that introduced That's Entertainment. It is given a joyous presentation as Jack Buchanon explains what the job of show business is all about.The color is stunning, costumes great, set design was good.

I just saw this marvelous film for the first time ever. I do not think it will be the last. Brilliant film. One of the more uplifting movie experiences I've had in a while. The world is missing movies like this at the moment.

Funnier than Singin' in the Rain and has a secret weapon in the form of Jack Buchanan, a one-man entertainment machine. Brilliantly choreographed by Michael Kidd, especially when Astaire and Charisse perform "Dancing in the Dark."
