I sang this as a duet in college and it is a fave song of mine. The only song that i was so sick during one performance that my mind went blank as the intro played. I then just fudged it as best I could with what recall that did come back to me. My choral director, Blaine, covered for me beautifully by saying you'd have trouble with this song too if you were in my character's (in the song) shoes. Fred is awesome in this clip!!! Thank you.
Thanks for posting up this example of Gershwnin musical wit-done in a nicely goofy manner by Astaire. Great spoof, showing George Gershwin's versatility. This is a vastly underrated film, that is quite hilarious. Astaire gets to mimic many types of British stereotyes and seems to quite enjoy this opportunity to stretch his acting talents.
