- Synopsis
- Lucky is tricked into missing his wedding to Margaret by the other members of Pop's magic and dance act, and has to make $25000 to be allowed to marry her. He and Pop go to New York where they run into Penny, a dancing instructor. She and Lucky form a successful dance partnership, but romance is blighted (till the end of the film at least!) by his old attachment to Margaret and hers for Ricardo, the band leader who won't play for them to dance together.

-
"'Top Hat' may be more energetic and glossy, but 'Swing Time' is arguably the most magical of the ten films Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made together."
-
"'Top Hat' is tops with two of the duo’s most sublime numbers. The George Stevens-directed 'Swing Time', featuring glorious Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields songs, is just as good."
-
"While the movie’s amusing comedy bits are a little too slow for vintage screwball or farce, its love story has no such limitations. Astaire and Rogers sell their whole relationship through movement, on and off the dance floor."
-
"Arguably the best movie of the Astaire-Rogers series, Swing Time is the most consistently entertaining, most imaginatively plotted of their films."
-
"Arlene Croce has called it a movie about the myth of Astaire and Rogers and the world they lived in, and that's about as good a description as any."
