    The Gay Divorcee

    As usual, a weak storyline, but unforgettable dancing, I would like to have see more dancing and less story!

    One song too long

    This is not the best of Fred and Ginger's films. Yes the plot is thin and full of stereotypes - the poor man playing the corespondent is over the top. But we watch these films for the dancing and I have to say I felt that The Continental went on and on and on. Spectacular though it was I'd have preferred a change of tune.
