It is not until the principals start all over again to Produce the gay and light-hearted show they had originally planned that Astaire once again proves himself a triumphant star and the erstwhile and inimical relationship ‘between hero and heroine blossoms into romance, It is some time since such a wealth of song hits has been pour- ed into a film offering as that con- tributed by the celebrated Dietz- Schwartz team for “The Band Wa- gon.” In production numbers; solos and montage sequences, you will hear such tunes as “Dancing in the Dark,” “I Love Louisa,” “You and the Night and the Music,” “By Myself,” “I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan,” “High and Low,” “Beggar’s Waltz,” ‘‘A Shine On Your Shoes,” ‘“‘New Sun in the Sky,” “Triplets,” “Louisiana Hay- ride,’ “Something to .Remember You By” and “That’s Entertain- ment,” climaxed by a terrific bal- let called “Girl Hunt,” danced by Astaire and Cyd Charisse.
