I'd so watching if Hollywood started producing new musicals and films with old-style music and dancing. Too bad they'd obviously include a bunch of teenagers, rock/pop/dubstep/whatever synthesizer crap and ridiculous choreographs.
This is classic natural dancing by two great dancers outshining any of todays" Dancing with the Stars " performers that appear to be more dancing calisthenics than actual ball room dancing.
I live in Cole Porter's hometown of Peru, Indiana, and every time I drive by his house, I feel so proud that this town, at one time in history, had something going for it.
You know it's interesting, because just the other day I watched Easter Parade also starring Fred Astaire, and there was a scene very similar to this scene! Reluctant woman, man convincing woman that it's all good, woman and man end up dancing. I liked both scenes of course, this one and the one in Easter Parade that is.
Millions have loved this movie team years ago on the big movie screen, now millions will love them on youtube! Where ever hearts are young and there is romance, there too will be Fred and Ginger!
Incomparable dancing duo. However, I think it´s the only team work where the man overpowers the lady and steals the show. Usually the lady attracts more attention, but Fred´s lightness, agility, perfection and pure elegance simply cannot be missed. He makes look soooooo easy, it hurts.
They really look like they are enjoying themselves. Like at 2:12 Ginger smiles at Fred and he smiles back at they look like they were just having fun! I ♥ them both xxx
Whauw, what a beautiful music, I'm sitting here weeping softly because of the innocence and pure, romantic appearance...and because of the wonderful oldfashioned musical arrangement. As I am a composer I think I will allow myself to use the sequense that's moving down...WHAUW !
Today when a man and woman dance in a movie, the "woman" is usually some teenage girl dressed like a slut and the dancing is almost full-on sex, all done to rap or hip hop.
Now I think this would work on Dancing With The Stars. I would love to see someone (good) recreate this to the music, if they would be allowed to do that.
such a lovely wonderfullllll dress ! i really dont understand how girls would rather go aound in nearly nothing for partys etc or just eveyday y'know?
I LOVE Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!! When you're watching them it's hard to take your eyes off them because when you are looking at one, the other takes your eye! Seperately and together.Breathtaking.
Wow. He is little and skinny and balding, yet he is the personification of sexual desire, romance and masculine dominance. So brilliant. Never been anyone like Astaire since Astaire. One of a kind. Of course, Porter's music and Roger's elegance and beauty don't hurt, either!
Gosh, why all the vitriol? Can't we just enjoy this timeless piece? Those of you who don't enjoy it, be civil. Those of us who do enjoy it need not attack other music forms. What we do know is this: The music of Cole Porter has been around a long time and will be around a long time. The dance team of Astaire and Rogers represents class for those of us who are of a "certain age."
XsweetriceX 8 why do you think I am being sarcastic??.....didnt get that!!!
Are you another rapper or lady gaga´s fan? My message is for those 14 idiots that didnt like Fred and Ginger presentation. The scene will stay forever and forever....now ladies gagas gagas, amies, madonnas, beyonces, shakiras, etc, etc. will last till next sniff!!!
This is what love is all about. Attraction, hate, distrust and everything in between. And whether it is sung too fast or not, I don't care. It simply is one of the very best dance scenes ever filmed. Every and I mean every later dancer or lady dancer can only bow to these two. They were, and still are, the very very best. I've never seen a couple that had such almost mental bond as Astaire and Rogers.
Astaire always sang it too fast, lacked timing, he was impatient, bet he was a premature ejaculator :) Frank, et al, savoured each note, like slowly making love.
It's not just the fact that Ginger was beautiful, it's the fact that she was talented. A triple threat-dance, sing and act. And as far as Fred Astaire-a legend and one of a kind that can't be replaced
This dance is light-years beyond anything you'll see on Dancing With The Stars"
Incidentally, I love the delicious little joke at the end of the dance where he offers her a cigarette meaning let's have a cigarette after a satisfying dance the way others have a smoke after good sex.
To answer a question that was asked, yes they recorded the orchestra and vocal live. This was very common in Fred and Ginger's early movies. It is also a wonderful thing to see and hear. In my opinion it adds a lot to the movie. It also means Fred and the orchestra were very talented to be able to do this. You won't see this today. Everything now is in prerecorded sound and video bites, for obvious reasons.
@erniemanguy I remember reading once that when Fred was just starting out, one of the comments from an early audition he went to was "Can't sing, can't act. Can dance a little." Priceless! :)
@erniemanguy I am interested to know where this info is - I always assumed just about everything except for the first Vitaphone films had a pre-recorded music (orchestra and voice) soundtrack. I know by the mid 30's it was pretty much standard. Jack Haley remembers when he, Shirley Temple and Alice Faye had to match the pre-recorded tap sounds for their dance routine in Poor Little Rich Girl in 1936, so they were also prerecording taps at that time as well apparently.
@foamulator You don't have to sell your soul. You just have to work 15 hours a day for 10 years and you'll get pretty close to Fred. He was a kind of guy who could stand in front of a mirror for half a day and practive just one thing -- how to put a hand into a pocket. He wasn't born a genius -- he made himself a genius, and asked the same from everyone else. Poor Ginger had to wake up at 4 am and go to the studio to practice with Fred till she had blood on her feet.
14 people didnt like it!!! Yeah, funk and rap is much better.....Porter, Berlin, Gershwin, Kander and Ebb are a bunch of lousy composers.....Problem is that they are going to stay for centuries.
@masefu0 They just have different tastes. Jesus...you act all high and mighty and yet someone doesn't like something you like and you rush to defend it. You're no different than everyone else. Everyone likes different things.
Comparing to those 14 idiots that didnt like I have a terrific good taste...if everybody like the goods things this world would be much better.....but when things like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, etc. are success I just cant stay quiet..... Read the majority of the comments about this scene.....they speak by myself...and fortunally there is You Tube to preserve those beautiful moments in posts placed by people with good taste.
I simply love Fred Astaire, my boyfriend and I swing dance and lindy hop so we look at videos to see what we can add to our dancing. Thank you for posting this!
I love this soo much i'm a 15 year old from a bad area in London and these videos really help me through the day.I wish I could dance one day like them,it really would be a dream come true .

Lovely to hear that a 15 year old can enjoy this, try to sign up for a dance class and who knows one day you
could be the new Ginger. I saw her live 40 years ago in "Mame" she was quite old then but still a star in the true sense of the word. Todays stars are mainly talentless striptease artists, all their routines are based on sex and showing off their silicon frontages.
So lovely, and so iconic. Nobody today realizes how many cuts and retakes were necessary because that damned dress shed marbou (stork) feather fluff. It clung to Fred's tuxedo, floated around the set anytime Ginger moved, and was generally a huge nuisance. But Ginger Rogers loved the dress, argued for it, and got her way.
Thanks for sharing this. I love Fred and Ginger. I identify Cole Porter best with Fred Astaire. My fiancee prefers the jazz versions (eg Fitzgerald , Armstrong) but it's just so glorious the way Fred Astaire sings them. Bravo Ginger and Fred!
Wonderfull, they are imortals :) i love them soo much and this period also, elegance, charm, education and respect always present! thanks for posting it
Wonderfull, they are imortals :) i love them soo much and this period also, elegance, charm, education and respect always present! thanks for posting it
So common in those days, Talent, entertainment......corny? is that bad?
Cole Porter was top of his profession, so was Fred Astaire and Ginger as well. When I was a kid, I hated that kind of Movie but now I've evolved to enjoy talent, thank God.
Ginger must have been THE most beautiful woman in the thirties. I know that May West and Jean Harlow had a lot more sex appeal and many others probably too, but those long legs and that marvelous slender figure. And the way she wears those beautiful dresses. Every fashion designer today would be prepared to kill for a model like her.
What I would give to bring back these days once again. I also wish parents and schools would show these videos to children at very young ages. They need to know what real talent is so they have reference points to judge other talent by. People's expectations have dropped to alarming levels in the past few decades. Ir will only get worse if we don't start educating the younger generations now. It's time to raise the bar and expect more than we are getting. YouTube is a good place to start.
How beautifully you have put your point across - I agree withyou whole heartedly, but fear that things have declined so much that we will never recover what we once had......
@maddogj7 You must be kidding. Barishnikov referred to Astaire as an artist of inestimable worth. Your comment says little about Astaire and volumes about you
@fairb38 yes ofcourse your correct and i was being foolish to post a coment like that about astaire but Night and Day is all about the legendary composing of porter and not the dancing of fred .i also like hiphop metal and classical and this porter track hits the right spot .jj7
@libsemik Most creative geniuses are gay, why should that matter? You either appreciate their art or you don't, it has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, the art world would be bankrupt if you eliminated all the great art, music, literature, fashion, architecture, interior design, movies and other arts created by "gay" people.
Can anyone please tell me what film is this scene from?

Cole Porter wrote songs and melodys for Fred Astaires voice. They where buddies.

So common in those days, Talent, entertainment......corny? is that bad?
Cole Porter was top of his profession, so was Fred Astaire and Ginger as well. When I was a kid, I hated that kind of Movie but now I've evolved to enjoy talent, thank God.

Ginger must have been THE most beautiful woman in the thirties. I know that May West and Jean Harlow had a lot more sex appeal and many others probably too, but those long legs and that marvelous slender figure. And the way she wears those beautiful dresses. Every fashion designer today would be prepared to kill for a model like her.

What I would give to bring back these days once again. I also wish parents and schools would show these videos to children at very young ages. They need to know what real talent is so they have reference points to judge other talent by. People's expectations have dropped to alarming levels in the past few decades. Ir will only get worse if we don't start educating the younger generations now. It's time to raise the bar and expect more than we are getting. YouTube is a good place to start.

How beautifully you have put your point across - I agree withyou whole heartedly, but fear that things have declined so much that we will never recover what we once had......

great song but astaire's dancing is pure shit . A Porter classic though .jj7

@maddogj7 You must be kidding. Barishnikov referred to Astaire as an artist of inestimable worth. Your comment says little about Astaire and volumes about you
fairb38 11 months ago
@fairb38 yes ofcourse your correct and i was being foolish to post a coment like that about astaire but Night and Day is all about the legendary composing of porter and not the dancing of fred .i also like hiphop metal and classical and this porter track hits the right spot .jj7

@libsemik Most creative geniuses are gay, why should that matter? You either appreciate their art or you don't, it has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, the art world would be bankrupt if you eliminated all the great art, music, literature, fashion, architecture, interior design, movies and other arts created by "gay" people.
