What's up with this movie?

A few observations:

At the begining, Astaire & Powell just finished their last number of their show in New York. They then head off to their dressing rooms immediately. What, no curtain call or final bow to thank the audience? That's it, we are not comming out to thank you, Show's over, go home people!

The London show - They do a singing number of a New York couple with a few sight gags near the end. No laughs from the audience.

Astaire & Powell - What players! Astaire gets smitten with a British dancer at the casting call for the London show. She is picked. I'm sure the others want to put a dagger in her back because of the obvious favortism. Powell seemed to string along a ton of guys without getting serious with any of them. Three of them in New York are beating each other up while she could care less. I guess they served their purpose. Same goes for Lawford. That marriage ain't gonna last.
