I think you're being kind calling Astaire's acting outdated but, oddly enough, it worked. I doubt there was a dry eye in the house when Waltzing Matilda was played at the end. I've seen it at least a half dozen times and I still water up and I'm one crusty old S.O.B.. This one, along with another of its genre, Fail Safe, are always watched at Casa Nasty when they come on (not nearly often enough IMHO). What wonderful civilized takes on such uncivilized actions.
