Reviews
“Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.”
– Roger Ebert
“Epitomizes Hollywood’s remarkable ability to confront misery with good cheer.”
– A.O. Scott, The New York Times
