Fresh
A pleasant enough score by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner, helped out by Donen's stylish direction.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
One swell number, three or four that are good, a laugh here, a laugh there; colored newsreels of the British royal wedding and so long pal. Mr. Astaire has fared better in his lifetime -- and he has also fared much worse.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
This is the one in which Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling, an impeccably executed bit of movie magic and a sublime expression of Donen's love for the medium.
