The batn of smashg mil numbers and loopy ic cint The Gay Divorcee is bt exemplified by the film's openg number ("Don't Let It Bother You") at a Paris nightclub floorshow, where a bevy of betiful dam on a rotatg stage make ty lady hand puppets dance chos le synchronizatn. Other dance numbers The Gay Divorcee prove more reprentative of the magic Astaire/Rogers touch.
Meant to palize on their succs wh Flyg Down to R (1933), The Gay Divorcee was the first time the team's ne llaboratns that they received top billg after havg only sendary rol R.
Oddly enough, the amount of time the uple spent actually dancg The Gay Divorcee totals a meager 10 mut. Director Mark Sandrich's film was actually based on a Broadway mil by Dwight Taylor and Cole Porter lled The Gay Divorce which Astaire, Erik Rhos and Eric Blore all appeared. Hollywood's censorship-prone Hays Admistratn sisted that the tle be changed to The Gay Divorcee wh the strange reasong that divorce uld not be a happy.
