This rare Italian piece has only surfaced a few times.

This musical was directed by Charles Walters. It reunited Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers after a ten-year absence, as a married couple and musical comedy team at the height of their careers. The songs were by Harry Warren (music) and Ira Gershwin (lyrics) with the addition of 'They Can't Take That Away from Me', which was by George and Ira Gershwin. This was Astaire and Rogers final film together, and their only one filmed in colour.
