General (G)
Very mild themes
Poster image for The Barkleys of Broadway

A married musical team splits up so the wife can become a serious actress. Josh (Fred Astaire) and Dinah Barkley (Ginger Rogers) are a famous musical theatre duo, but an argument on the opening night of their newest Broadway show reveals previously unspoken resentments. Dinah feels overshadowed by Josh, so when flirtatious playwright Jacques Pierre Barredout (Jacques François) suggests she play the lead in his new drama about Sarah Bernhardt, she separates from Josh and endeavours to become a serious actress. Can producer Ezra Miller (Oscar Levant) reunite the duo?
