Title: Great movie, [not pleased with DVD quality]
Review: There are two classic Fred Astaire performances in this movie: the dance with the hat rack and his dance on the walls and ceiling. These alone are worth the price of admission. The story is a bit weak and seems mainly an excuse to send the crew to England for the royal wedding of Mountbatten. Still it's very enjoyable....The color consistency [of the DVD version] varies from scene to scene and even within a scene. The picture is never sharp and often displays serious compression artifacts. Goodtimes, the publisher of this mess, includes the disclaimer that the DVD was made "using the best available sources". Best available means some low-quality VHS tape they had sitting in the closet since they had to access to the master film. The audio is also horrible - noisy and jumbled....if you want to enjoy this movie, buy the VHS tape - it's far better...
