Swingin' into the spotlight!

I have seen this movie many, many times, and it still retains a quality of freshness about it. Every time I watch it, I am kept in suspense. Will Lucky marry Margaret, or will he choose Penny? Will Ricky steal Penny's heart away from the only man she's ever truly loved? Or will Lucky remain true to his name? These and many other questions will swarm through your head as you watch this Fred and Ginger gem. The singing is spectacular, and the dancing is even better. As the Entertainment Weekly's 100 Greatest Stars of All Times (1997) states, "The duet 'Pick Yourself Up' may be Astaire and Rogers' finest moment. Proof positive that dancing is better than sex." With a review like that, how can you help but watch this AMAZING movie?

VIVA FRED AND GINGER!

Of the ten films Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers made together, this is probably the best. It's everything a great musical should be: a man and a woman meet, fall in love, face several problems that nearly tear them apart, wind up happily ever after, and do it all to some great dances and songs. The fact that those songs was written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields, and that this film has one of the wittiest scripts i've ever seen, is just icing on the cake. Fred Astaire is in his prime as John "Lucky" Garnett. He dances like no one else can in great numbers like "Pick Yourself Up," "Never Gonna Dance," and "Bojangles of Harlem." In addition, his rendition of "The Way You Look Tonight" rules the world of love songs. While this is undoughtably Fred's movie, Rodgers is still fantastic as his love interest, Penny. She's probably the only one who can hold her own with Fred during dance numbers, and the chemistry between the two is irresistable. She also has amazing comic timing, as can be seen during the hysterical (Well, maybe for the 30's) "A Fine Romance." Quality support is given to our leading players by the supurb Victor Moore, Helen Broderick, and Eric Blore. This movie is a masterpiece, and should be seen by anyone who loves movies or musicals.

A gem from the masters

If Edward Everett Horton had been in this one, it would have got six stars! I have all the Fred & Ginger movies (except Roberta) and regularly watch them. My favorite moment in this movie (apart from the dancing) is when they first kiss. It has to be one of the best examples of ham acting around. Well worth buying as you'll watch it again and again.

sexiest moment on the stairs

The "Never Gonna Dance" sequence begins with a conversation between Fred and Ginger with very few words but says plenty. The Dance itself sums up their romance, with a spectacular series of pireouttes at the end. All the dance sequences are great, but the beginning start a bit slow. Great film overall with great songs and dances.
