Summary: The story of the daughter of a hotelier who is trying to get her to marry. Music score by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer.

South American hotel magnate Edwardo Acuna (Adolphe Menjou) has a thorn in his side. Maria (Rita Hayworth), his beautiful nubile daughter, refuses to seriously consider marriage. A traditional patriarch, Mr. Acuna wants his girls married off one by one. So until Maria's mated, he won't allow either of her lovesick younger sisters to wed. Knowing Maria likes orchids, her father creates a secret admirer by sending anonymous love letters and fresh flowers from a mystery man. When Robert (Fred Astaire), a talented entertainer in Mr. Acuna's employ, delivers one of the phony love letters, Maria mistakes him for the suitor in question. After Robert takes one look at Maria, he decides he doesn't mind being mistaken for her smitten wooer. But a tap-dancing crooner is last thing Acuna wants for a son-in-law. This first-rate musical romance features "I'm Old Fashioned," "Dearly Beloved" and the title song "You Were Never Lovelier."
