"Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live."—Roger Eberthttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051023/REVIEWS08/510230301/1023

"This one can't miss and the reasons are three - Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin's 11 songs and sufficient comedy between numbers to hold the film together."—Variety Staffhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117795802.html?categoryid=31&cs=1

"This 1935 musical finds Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers at the top of their form. Irving Berlin penned the score, which is catchy when it isn't witty, and there is a passable French farce serving as a premise. But mostly it's that wonderful dancing to tunes like Cheek to Cheek and Isn't It a Lovely Day to Be Caught in the Rain?"—Don DUkerhttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/top-hat/Film?oid=1073359
