ComedyRomance

Ballet star Petrov arranges to cross the Atlantic aboard the same ship as the dancer and musical star he's fallen for but barely knows. By the time the ocean liner reaches New York, a little white lie has churned through the rumour mill and turned into a hot gossip item—that the two celebrities are secretly married.

VIBE

A delightful dance through mistaken identity and star-crossed lovers. This film feels like a sparkling, effervescent champagne toast to old Hollywood glamour, filled with infectious music and witty banter.
