Product Description:

The class of the Broadway Melody series with the burnished talents of Astaire and Murphy, and the timeless tunes of Cole Porter. The plot, never the point of these exercises, pits two dancers in a friendly rivalry for the attentions of Powell. This was the only screen appearance together of Astaire and Powell and it makes you wish for more.

Plot Synopsis:

When a casting mixup results in the wrong man getting a major role in a Broadway show, it looks as if the hoofer who deserved the part has lost his shot at stardom. Then the new leading man gets smashed on opening night and someone else has to take his place...
