Annotation
The film begins with a meeting with Irene and Vernon Castle - a popular theater comedian. She accidentally spied how he dances beautifully and was outraged that Vernon amuses the public, rather than revealing his talent.
Vernon, in love with her out of politeness, suggested that she dance together, but Irene took it seriously. Soon they got married and fate brought them to the capital of lovers - Paris. But for some reason there was no work for the dancers. And then a sudden offer - to perform in the famous Cafe de Paris for dinner, helped open a new dance era for them.
So, one evening, they found lunch, work, and began their brilliant dance career. The audience immediately raised them to the rank of idols. That was before, until the life of Vernon was cut short ...
