I loved this movie of the Castles... In fact just watched it again the other night. Astair & Rogers did such a wonderful job in recreating these dance for this film. But it did not hurt to have Irene Castle as the technical advisor either!!! It's said that Irene Castle had seen Vernon Castle through Fred Astair in her husbands role... Hmmm what a compliment....
@elecomob67whip He was a good entertainer and he had guts to credit Bill Robinson as his idol. He and Ginger's views on life, however, were a little too far fetched. One example was the fact that he was too strict on making more realistic romance scenes, even if the Hays Code was not enforced. Ginger had some pretty extreme ring wing views too, even for a conservative Republican. One example was the fact she favored blacklisting people who gave only a small hint of having Communist beliefs
