I actually liked YOLANDA AND THE THIEF. It is pure musical fantasy.
Some of the dance numbers in this movie (with Fred Astaire) are quite good.
Look at the floor in this video:

(See how the Swing of the mid 40s is used here to give a cute effect.)
If you add the character scenes of Frank Morgan and the comedy of Mildred Natwick, it turns out to be an OK musical fantasy.
I also enjoyed seeing Lucille Bremer get a starring role in a Vincente Minnelli musical.
Here's the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mjZsO9Kokc

VERY nice musical fantasy

This is a VERY nice musical fantasy about a couple of thieves (Fred Astaire and Frank Morgan) going through a very rich mythical country and trying to steal money from an innocent, recently-in-a-convent young woman (Lucille Bremer).
The mythical country looks like it might be somewhere in the northern part of South America (Bolivia, Peru, or Columbia???), but that's up to us to guess. It's mythical after all......
So what's Leon Ames's role in the movie? You will have to see it and find out.
This is a nice musical in beautiful color with lavish sets and costumes and good production numbers.
Lucille Bremer is not a household name because she retired from show biz after getting married.
