Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

edwagreen Fred and Ginger dancing to old favorite tunes with such elegance is the real reason to watch this movie.The plot centers around the fact that Ginger has confused the Fred character. She thinks throughout the film that he is married to Helen Broderick whose real husband Edward Everett Horton has a mate on the side complicating the situation.As the film goes along, you wonder when Rogers will find out the truth and then all shall become tranquil.Instead, this goes on aimlessly and her Italian boss enters into the picture, she weds him quickly, or at least they think they're wed.Helen Broderick is excellent as the wise wife who at first doesn't realize that her husband is being confused with the Jerry Travers (Astaire) character.Just put on a top hat and smile your way through.

JLRVancouver Fred and Ginger dance – that pretty much sums it up. The plot, the standard 'mistaken identity' shtick, allows the stars to meet cute and the supporting team to provide comic relief but is really just an excuse to string together a number of great musical numbers, including the iconic "Dancing cheek to cheek" (feathers and all). Edward Everett Horton is great as Astaire's buddy and mistaken alter-ego (I can't hear his voice without thinking about "Fractured Fairy Tales"), as is Helen Broderick, who plays his flippant wife. This is a film full of tuxedos and gowns, spontaneous yet fully orchestrated singing, extravagant sets, improbable situations, silly but endearing double takes, and Astaire's classic mix of graceful, athletic dancing. "Top Hat" is all romantic fantasy with not a hint of intruding reality and as such, it's perfect way to pass a couple of hours.

Smoreni Zmaj If you are fan of comedy, but tired of vulgar humor we see on big screen these days, tired of retarded grimaces like Jim Carrey's or laughing to other peoples misfortune, take a look on comedies from first half of 20th century. Nowadays comedies are nowhere close to their level in any possible way. Fred Aster and beautiful Ginger Rogers in romantic comedy of mistaken identity. Of course, when you see Aster in leading role it is obvious that it is musical. But even if you do not like musicals, and I certainly do not, amount of hilarious misunderstandings and twists and the way this movie will cause roars of benevolent laughter and improves mood even on depressive rainy days will be more than enough for you to disregard your bigotry towards musicals and even boring scenes of dancing and singing will pass you by unnoticed. And they are not boring at all, believe me, cause chemistry between Fred and Ginger is magical.

Luis Eduardo Galindo It is always a pleasure to watch Fred Astairs at his best.Someone once compared the Martini cocktail as Fred Astair in a glass.. so I fixed myself one to match this movie, the first zips were great but it all turned flat soon afterward.The first scene is very promising as we recognize an energetic Fred Astair in a ¨silence¨ gentlemen room in London, those first 5 minutes were worth the ambiance of a Fred Astair/Martini fansuddenly we're taken to the hotel scene and the first impressive tap dancing and the fantastic 30's sounds flow over, one more zip to my drink is welcome...until we're flashed by this ¨3 stooges¨ plot of mis-identification and hide and seek over different rooms. completely disappointed till the point of putting the rest of the Dry Gin back in the bottle till I get another Fred Astair movie...The sets are ridiculousy repetitive, all handed in same boring-to-eye colour and over crafted Greek style, no matter it was London or Venice, you can tell the same manifacture...the hide and seek in between the misencounters were silly repetitive in the gaps of the few great dancing scenes.Dancing Scene: great techniques and beautiful music arrangements, but would have worked more on separate film cuts for cinema pre-view entertainment, not a movie.Madge and Horace weird relationship is worthless to mention as props as any of the Greek decorations in the flat decorated rooms, almost annoyng.it is sad to acknowledge that this is just a pre-fab plot less long sketch to promote Fred Astaris and Ginger Rogers theatrical talents. not a real movie.
