Tom (Fred Astaire) and Ellen Bowen (Jane Powell) are a brother and sister song and dance act. They travel to London to do a show. They do fall for people along the way, but the story is almost unimportant.
This is most noted for the dancing of Fred Astaire. He did a couple of iconic dances for the ages. In one, he's dancing with a coat rack in the exercise room. It's all about his gracefulness. The other dance happens in his room as it gets rotated. He's literally dancing on the ceiling. These go down in movie dance history. Astaire and Bowen do a pretty good ballroom dance on the ship as the giant floor starts tilting back and forth. It's pretty good but lesser known.
Jane Powell does some real old fashion singing. It's from another age. Although I really liked one song sung by Powell and Astaire, 'HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAID I LOVED YOU WHEN YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN A LIAR ALL MY LIFE'. It's a snappy little ditty.
