Very disappointed :(

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I actually felt awkward watching this film because I imagined GR felt the same while making it. The plot is thin (a starlet just recovering from having a nervous breakdown from crowds assaulting her because of her fame falls in love while in retreat from the world). Plot holes galore, lousy acting, strange unresolved plot twists. And a dance sequence that must have given GR nightmares for years to come because it was so poorly staged and executed. Full of bad choices all the way around, from the writer to the director to GR agreeing to star in this bomb. Don't add watching this to the list.

Ginger Rogers plays a popular movie actress (so famous, in fact, that her face is on the cover of every single magazine at the newsstand) who seeks solace and anonymity with a businessman in the mountains while disguised as a wallflower. Rogers, who is convincing incognito on and off for the first twenty minutes, doesn't have much to work with here, although she does get to do a cute tap dance/cooking sequence. Otherwise, this star-vehicle is mighty thin, and co-stars George Brent and Grant Mitchell are both lackluster. Not a bad beginning, but by the midway point it has lost all inspiration. ** from ****

I was delightfully surprised at how fresh this film is! Ginger Rogers shines and sparkles! The songs in this film are also excellent examples of Dorothy Field's work. The songs, with their intelligent lyrics and as-always-wonderful staging of Hermes Pan, more than make up for Ginger's somewhat flat voice (What happened? She's on key with Astaire...) And believe it or not, dull old George Brent even has a twinkle in his eye or maybe even two--not as good as his early 30's work, but the most lively I've seen him in any of his other films. The plot is typical screwball of the times; no worse, no better. Overall this film is well worth seeing for light, cheerful entertainment.

The funniest thing about this movie is Ginger Rogers' disguise: buck teeth and glasses, reminding me of Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor (1963). She's a famous actress who got a bad case of agoraphobia when she was mobbed by adoring fans. To get away, she practically invites herself to go with George Brent to a mountain cabin retreat after she overhears that he was going there. Once there the comedy is predictable and routine. You do get to hear Rogers sing three songs and do a neat tap dance, all very enjoyable, but not enough to make up for the flat script.
