Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis very average film is not one of Fred's musical triumphs, but is watchable.
User Review - 10/10 by jay nVery enjoyable film. Yes, the special effects do not seem to work but the movie made up for them. Of course, the real highlight was Fred Astaire singing and dancing to the song "I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man." And, as always after watching him, so do I.
User Review - 8/10 by Kristy VThis is one of those movies its bad its good. Not much plot in this movie but has some great numbers in it.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TThis is a story about a playboy who falls in love with a Bowery worker during the turn of the century. He would do anything to get her even do some work. As you are going along I think the movie forgets it's suppose to have a plot. There's pretty much no plot and becomes alot of singing and dancing. Now, fred astaire who I think is very cool does the singing and dancing which he does very well and that kinda makes up for the missing plot. He is very enjoyable to watch when he dances. It's amazing what he can do and he does show his many talents In this movie. The rest of the cast is forgettable. Fred Astaire is very fun to watch when he sings and dances and this movie you might not want to be your first viewing of a movie of his. No plot but very good dancing and some pretty good songs performed by Fred but other than that this movie ain't much of a treasure.
User Review - 6/10 by Greg WMGM's 1952 experimenting with the proven Fred Astaire formula resulted in this, one of his more forgotten outings. The main gimmick at fault is the use of blue/green screen to continually portray Astaire a-dance upon air. One minute he's tapping across the top of the Washington Square Arch (well, an obvious set-piece made to appear atop it), the next minute, he's tippy-toeing his way all over the nothingness between its flagposts. It all just looks too strange, a ruining of the viewing experience. The balance of the song and dance is entertaining, but not anywhere near Astaire's top-drawer work. His second solo, "Wanna Be A Dancin' Man," might be called an exception. When 31-year-old Vera-Ellen dons a full-length black-sequined number for her solo "Naughty But Nice," her well-maintained 19-inch waistline (effected by her constant anorexic purging) is plain enough for all to see (though not so much so as within 1954s "White Christmas" w/ Bing Crosby). Vera ditched Hollywood for good just five years after "Belle." RECOMMENDATION: OK for completists, everyone else should at least see Astaire's "Top Hat" and "Swing Time" first.
User Review - 6/10 by Stephanie FGreat dance numbers but a pretty bland story line.
User Review - 6/10 by Chrisanne SThe Belle of New York, starring Fred Astaire and Vera Ellen is a very lovely MGM musical. The costumes, dance numbers are delightful. I very much like both Vera Ellen and Fred Astaire so it is nice to see they were teamed up...both are very gifted dancers. Check this classis musical out!
User Review - 4/10 by Daniel KThis is definitely the weakest Astaire picture I've seen, but it's still worthwhile for those that crave an old fashioned Hollywood musical. It's a mid level production in just about every sense of the word.
