Starring Fred Astaire, Joan Leslie

The first in a short season of musicals is a film rarely seen on television, featuring some great Fred Astaire dancing and that well-known song 'One for my baby (And one more for the road)'. Fred Astaire stars as a famous American pilot in the Second World War, who falls in love with a magazine photographer while he is on leave incognito in New York. But misunderstandings abound when he declines to reveal his true identity as a Flying Tiger. FREDDIE SLACK AND HIS ORCHESTRA
