  • A fun song from from Roberta, with Ginger looking lovely in one of her own gowns. Really, though, the main reason I uploaded it is the sexiness of Astaire playing the piano at the beginning. Oh my.

    Heaven on earth, Fred and Ginger...
    Oh and Ginger. How she swings in tune. America had some great talents. Wonderful, very uplifting swing tune.

    I don't even think he's out of breath after all of that! Simply amazing, I love their chemistry and just everything.

    I never knew it, so I'm glad I stumbled on this! I knew he was a triple threat (singing, dancing, and acting) but being able to play an instrument as well - priceless.

    Despite all the hard work it takes to dance in these movies, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers always look like they are having so much fun.

    and when fred starts dancing, its just hypnotic!!
    i love them!

    It would be wonderful to see this in colour. I can only imagine how beautiful ginger looks in that gown. No colour is needed however to see Freddy tearing up the floor, that man was an angel. Dancing on clouds for a living (how else could he be so light on his feet?).

    These were true artists, not just a pretty face or pretty body like the ones we see today, sreaming silly tunes, showing everything they can to sell themselves.....
    Fred and Ginger left wonderful memories they danced, sang and he even played the piano!. This is talen and it's not cheep, boring, stupid.... I wish we could see a bit of this in the movies..

    I had no idea Fred could play the piano like that. Multi-talented indeed. Of course, we know how they could both dance, but I never tire of watching them. I'm so glad we have all this old footage to enjoy. Thanks for posting these!

    @CrazyBlonde2393 10 років тому +1

    Although I love Fred dancing with his partners and the great stories they were a part of, I like Fred best when he is just dancing alone. No partner, no story telling dance, just Fred dancing. Just him dancing. Doing what a dancer does. Dance. I like that best.

    It must have been so frustrating for Ginger to stand and watch him dancing all on his lonesome (and so brilliantly!!) when all her little feet wanted to do was dance by his side!! Those two were born to dance together! This is a great fun clip :)

    even though Ginger Rogers is today only remembered for these musical films with Astaire, she is more of a drama actress and so was her dream, she was sweet in musicals but people do NOT realize the reason Ginger Rogers did not have the perfection of other musical stars and is critisized wrongly is because most people today do not KNOW her main film career was consisted of acting and dramas NOT musicals, that was her true talent, so you cannot blame her for her performance in musicals

    What you don't see is a second piano player that is playing along with Fred. Read his biography...Still he is fantastic on the piano and singing and dancing and ...everything else! I LOVE Fred Astaire!

  • @barbrasgirl8
    @barbrasgirl8 16 років тому

    In his later years Fred had a piano in his bedroom and was an accomplished songwriter.
    Ginger was very underrated as part of the Astaire Rogers team.Without her the movies would have been very different.

  • @moonlightorchid99
    @moonlightorchid99 16 років тому

    as a man, Fred Astaire was very reserved and formal, and in his autobiography(Steps in Time)which i read, he left out a lot of personal details about his life, but if you read Ginger Roger's autobiography (Ginger, My Story), she mentions how she and Fred were dating for a while and he asked her out before she moved to California and if she had stayed in New York they could have gotten serious, but when he went to Hollywood later on and met up, she said he had changed and annouced he was married

    Interesting fact I saw on a Fred Astaire tribute, he insisted on doing every dance number in 1 take. If you notice, the camera never breaks away to a different angle, it is always on Fred and his partner. Not many other dancers do the, not even my other favorite Gene Kelly.
