Leave your thoughts about The Gay Divorcee.
| Washington PostGary ArnoldAll through the picture there's charm, romance, gaiety and eclat. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingThe repartee is sharp, the plot is delightfully ridiculous, and the numbers — like ”Night and Day” and the epic Oscar winner ”The Continental” — are knockouts. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenBy far the highlight is Astaire and Rogers’ impossibly fluid routine to Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” in which even that formidable song knows its place and quiets down for a portion of their dance. The two are so elegantly in sync that the ill-fitting conventions of The Gay Divorcee simply melt away. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerFred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were first teamed in Flying Down to Rio, but this 1934 feature was their first effort together as stars—and it worked beautifully, with great Cole Porter songs like "Night and Day," and Con Conrad and Herb Magidson's "The Continental." |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe second, charming teaming of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, probably his best dancing partner |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAimed at cheering up a Depression audience--which it does do with animated song and dance numbers. |
| Film and FeltGabe LeibowitzThe Gay Divorcee offers a terrific mix of wit, humor, and, of course, song-and-dance. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelLike the carefree team of Rogers and Astaire, The Gay Divorcee is gay in its mood and smart in its approach. |
| Los Angeles TimesSusan KingThe second outing for Fred and Ginger which cemented their partnership can be irritating in it's romantic machinations but the Astaire flair is always winning. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.As far as musical comedies go, this one wasn't musical enough. |
