Of course we all know that the actual reason Fred Astaire didn't appear was to cut costs!

What a great episode. Wonderful direction (the overhead dancing shots must have been difficult). The two Jack Benny's gag is nicely done! Ginger is a good foil for Jack---sophisticated AND brassy! Loved that they were able to come up with the budget for dancers and costumes that perfectly parodied TOP HAT A definite winner in my book!

@@williamgraff7593 Definitely I was kind of amazed at how great this episode really was I wasn't expecting that much but certainly was pleasantly surprised!

Y'know, now that you say that I'll BET they wrote in that dancing double so that they COULD use Fred if he became available for a cameo, but it also worked fine with Jack in the role.
