@margaritasalt1 yes, the clothes they adorned back then are simply divine! And their figures are also amazing. And check out the hairstyles! I love Ginger's hair in "Tales of Manhattan". I think people in general cared more about their appearance during this era. And beauty and fashion seemed to be more systematic than it is now. Like, women went with things that complimented their skin tone, eyes, figure, etc. But everything these days is basically wear whatever you want.
I love this movie and this scene...and that has got to be one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. Love the clothes of the 30s, and Ginger wore it so beautifully on the dancer's physique of hers. They were so adorable together (and the dancing wasn't too shabby either). Thanks for sharing.
When Fred "kisses" her that was a fake. She said that they stoped the shooting and had the make-up lady put the lip stick on him because his wife didn't like the girls kissing him. She said that she remremaind kissless until their second to last film or something like that. It irritated her. lol but you've got to love them.
Ginger was very cute. that's one of the things I like about her. she seems so unsure and nervous with Fred but that's the charm. Vivien Liegh was the same way with Rhett Butler. can't find an actress like that nowadays.
Back in 1930s, another actress who exuded those qualities of youthful freshness, energy, natural nervousness /diffidence and innocent charm was Ruby Keeler (Ginger's starring co-hoofer in film musical "42nd Street."
Interesting fact: Ginger Rogers said in her autobiography, that on one of their dates(before Fred met beloved Phyllis, of course) ended with a kiss that would definately not pass the Hayes Office Code(censorship). She also said, and I quote: "If I had stayed in New York,
I think Fred Astaire and I might have become a more serious
item." Now how about that.
Unfortunately, fans of Fred/Ginger...she didnt stay...they went on further dates though.
The omission of the actual kiss heats our imaginations so much hotter than seeing it. I feel this is a wonderful way to thwart censorship. Loving is here to stay. Hooray!
these two are so cute together. i love that they don't let us see the kiss, it makes the whole scene so much cuter and it puts more stock in their chemistry. i also adore the lipstick on fred's face when he grins! this is by far one of my favorite fred and ginger pictures.
I nearly didnt watch this cause i didnt want to see them kiss. Its the "almost" chemistry between them that i love... I laughed out loud when i saw this. I LOVE Fred Astaire. Him and Ginger,they're so cute!!
I love the way he jumps for joy at the end LOL... ahn I know the feeling :)

I especially love these bits:
The way Fred backs off twice, looking so adorably confused and innocent. LOL
And Ginger's delivery of "HOW DO YOU LIKE MY DRESS?"
...
Thanks (immediately runs off)".
