Fred Astaire plays a con man in a fictitious Latin American country who attempts to dupe a girl to get at her father's millions. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, the film is best remembered for its surrealistic "Dream Ballet," with Astaire, costar Lucille Bramer, and others set against scenery reminiscent of artist Salvadore Dali. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
