Shall We Dance (1937)

Rating: * * * * 1/2 (Out of 5)

Almost as good as Swing Time. The Gershwin written music is the main draw. The plot gets real complicated but it's all in good fun. Like martial arts movies, the plots in musicals are there simply to string the action/dance sequences together. The dance numbers in Shall We Dance are all enjoyable, but none comes close to the chemistry and charm of the "Pick Yourself Up" number in Swing Time. After seeing that, I think I am judging all other dance numbers with unrealistic standards.
