That's Entertainment
Fred Astaire
,
Bing Crosby
MGM (Video & DVD), 1994
For Widescreen Viewers
I'm a purist and love to see the productions in their original aspect ratio. Having a widescreen HDTV adds to this pleasure, but could also have made viewing "That's Entertainment" problematic because of the film's mix of clips from the pre- and post-widescreen eras. ...

Great Movie
One of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers best movies, if you like old musicals this is a much see.
Roberta (1935)
Irene Dunne
,
Fred Astaire
Warner Home Video, 2000
SHUT UP WITH THE PETTY SQUABBLES AND ENJOY IT
OK so Irene Dunne is the star. Well she was a bigger, established cinema icon than newcomers Astaire and Rogers. But who really cares? This is an enjoyable movie based on the hit play. Sit back and enjoy the high stepping that would forever immortalize the team of ...
Bachelor Mother
Ginger Rogers,
David Niven
Turner Home Ent, 1998
Warm hearted family movie
A warm-hearted family movie that makes you laugh. In the era of Hollywood where they did not need overt sexual activity to entertain, but relied upon the skills of the actors, this is another of those classic movies you can enjoy with the whole family. David Niven and ...
George Gershwin Remembered (An American Masters Program)
Ginger Rogers,
Arnold Schönberg
A&E Home Video, 1996
The maximum on George Gershwin in minimum time!
If you are a student needing to do a research paper on Gershwin, present a report in class, or just a fan who wants to know more about the composer of masterpieces such as "American in Paris," "Porgy and Bess," and, of course, "Rhapsody in Blue," then George Gershwin ...

LOVE THIS ONE, BOUGHT IT, BUT...PLEASE, ENOUGH
political correctness which is so lame today anyway (removing Pecos Bill's cigarette), if anyone knows about or has seen some of the video games out now that show hearts being ripped out, massacres everywhere, this is a kitten's picnic by comparison, even with the ...
Major & The Minor
Ginger Rogers,
Ray Milland
Universal Studios, 1998
'PLEASE STOP TELEGRAPHING MY MOTHER!'
...who, as it turns out, is played by Ginger's real life mom Lela. AND Ginger gets to dance without Fred!! Robert Benchley as a masher!!!, and the best of 'sidekick' Diana Lynn. A delight that hasn't faded in 50 years of watching [some do, not this one though]. Too ...
Follow the Fleet
Fred Astaire
, Ginger Rogers
Turner Home Entertai, 1994
fine and somewhat underrated Fred and Ginger musical
Follow The Fleet is a solid RKO musical from 1936 that gives us Fred Astaire as Bake Baker, navy seaman and Ginger Rogers as Sherry Martin dancing at their best, even if the plot is rather thin. Look also for a great performance by Randolph Scott as Bilge Smith, Bake's ...
Swing Time
Fred Astaire
, Ginger Rogers
Turner Home Ent, 1999
La crème de la crème.
You cannot go wrong with any of the Fred and Ginger movies, but this one is la crème de la crème. Why? As Eric Blore says, for the sheer heaven of the "Pick Yourself Up" number, as you watch their feet fly across the dance floor, with Fred in trademark formal ...
Tales of Manhattan

Rita Hayworth
20th Century Fox, 1996
That mythical place where everyone gets what he/she deserves
Other reviewers have given plenty of information regarding the general shape of this film--stars, cast, vignettes. A wonderful collaboration of ten different writers who together with a cast of stars, character actors, the Hall Johnson Choir (one of the gems of the ...
Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella
Ginger Rogers,
Walter Pidgeon
Sony Pictures, 2002
A Timeless Masterpiece
Rodgers & Hammersteins beautiful 1965 version premiered when I was 9. Now my grandchildren are as in love with it as I was. My 3 year old granddaughter knew all the words to the songs after listening a few times within a week.

A Tender Farewell
This beautiful and poignant farewell from one of the most memorable and beloved of screen couples in film history was the perfect way to say goodbye. Their previous pairings had been filled with joy, grace and elegance; a delightful escapism which helped get everyone ...

Dennis Morgan
Turner Home Ent, 1998
Ginger Rogers' Oscar Winning Performance Will Resonate With All Working Girls
Ginger Rogers stepped off the dance floor and into dramatic movies in the 1940's. This classic love story, subtitled "The Natural History of a Woman," is a great introduction to her work for those not familiar with it. She plays the part of Kitty Foyle, a working ...
Primrose Path
Ginger Rogers,
Joel McCrea
Turner Home Entertainment, 1989
The Primrose Path With Ginger Rogers & Joel McCrea
Excellent movie, lots of fun and has everything, love, romance, comedy nicely mixed with drama. Girl from wrong side of the tracks falls for boy from right side of tracks, love blooms and the fun begins during their stormy courtship, but destined romance and love ...
Tight Spot
Ginger Rogers,
Edward G. Robinson
Sony Pictures, 1998
B movie with academy award acting.
"Tight Spot" was a gem. Unexpected, to me, after the early part of the movie seemed to have an inevitable ending. It didn't turn out that way. Rogers was perfect for the plot, which was perfect for Rogers. Her actual age, 45, was perfect for the age of a society ...
