The scene where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance on roller skates took about 150 takes, according to one of the VHS versions of the film.

Gaffes
At the end, Linda Keene (Ginger Rogers) plans to crash Petrov's (Fred Astaire) big dance number, so she can personally serve him her divorce papers. Legally, a summons cannot be served by someone who is a party to the action.

Music by Gershwin, dancing by Astaire and Rogers, with Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore in tow

This film (one of the better ones Astaire and Rogers did) probably doesn't get quite the praise it merits because Top Hat and The Gay Divorcee are so widely praised (rightly so). But this movie is equally well executed and any movie that has in it's score the songs, "Shall We Dance", "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" and especially "They Can't Take That Away" deserves to be warmly remembered. There's a score by Gershwin, dancing by Astaire, Rogers and others and Edard Everett Horton and Eric Blore in support (they appeared in so many of the Astaire-Rogers films that their casting must have been legally required!). Well worth your time. Recommended.
