Trivia
Billy De Wolfe impersonates Frankenstein's monster as a take-off of Boris Karloff, yet this part of the movie takes place in the early 1920's, about a decade before _Frankenstein (1931)_ was actually filmed. See more »Goofs
Bing and Fred's Song and Dance Man number was supposed to be one of those "you remember when" moments, however, Bing just happened to have snowflakes in his pocket. See more »Soundtracks

Sure it's the same old story of two showbiz guys fighting over the girl, but that's just an excuse to have fun with Fred and Bing. The two dance and sing several fine numbers throughout the film.
And there's the added treat of music by one of the legendary composers. Irving Berlin provides his beautiful songs, including the Oscar-nominee "You Keep Coming Back Like a Song." Fred Astaire does his famous "Puttin on the Ritz" number, while Bing sings the title tune. The duo work well together as they did on "Holiday Inn" four years earlier.
Billy De Wolfe has some funny moments in songs and sketches.
Overall, a colorful and entertaining musical. Don't listen to those who'd turn you away just because the plot is kinda thin.
