Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Astaire returned to RKO with the chance to dance to his own choreography, and amid some primitive airman-on-leave musical plotting, took it with both feet in one memorable nocturnal solo ('One for My Baby') in a deserted bar. Leslie is a magazine snapper who unwittingly scoops the incognito war hero; Benchley contributes a characteristically cockeyed oration; and the score is by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer.Author: PT
