Viewers note the camera work that keeps focus on Astaire without cutting to audience reactions, emphasizing his dominance of the performance.

“I must say my favorite part was them NOT cutting away to show people's faces in the audience. Astaire deserves 100% attention when he's movin' and groovin'.”
