Ballet star Petrov arranges to cross the Atlantic aboard the same ship as the dancer and musical star he's fallen for but barely knows. By the time the ocean liner reaches New York, a little white lie has churned through the rumour mill and turned into a hot gossip item—that the two celebrities are secretly married.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The plot description provided for 'Shall We Dance' (1937) focuses entirely on a romance developing aboard an ocean liner crossing the Atlantic, driven by a comedic misunderstanding/gossip. There is no indication of a Christmas setting, plot relevance, themes, or iconography mentioned."
