Fred Astaire wearing a necktie for a belt in 1934. Fashion icon to the max.

@80scouplerules I noticed this on the DVD version just yesterday!

[ivyarora]

totally awesome!!!

I just absolutely love this scene! Wonderful singing, amazing dancing, and an inventive and fun way to get elegantly dressed. Besides, it's also fun to try and guess what was going through the other man's mind as Fred was flinging clothes at him while he was singing and dancing across the room.

I only saw this for the first time at age 44, a few years ago, and it was really neat because I was going through a hard time-- that wasn't the neat part, but I thought "people in the great Depression went to the movies for escapism," and I watched Fred & Ginger for unadulterated escapism! Now all I remember about that hard time was how fun these movies were!! I danced around and pretended to be Fred and had a great time... ;-)

The most elegant way to get dressed ever!

whoosh! running a bit fast.

Sophisticated, fantastic, superb, beautiful, poetic.... I could go on and yet it doesn't matter. I love classic movies so very much; alot of people are extremely missing out on wonderful art. I just love Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers- what a pair! I am so glad you all adore this film. I feel like the only person in the world who likes classic movies and I come here to venerate them and see that all you wonderful people are just the same! Thank you for posting this classic piece!

Nobody has ever been better than Fred. He is still the greatest.

I love this song! I love this movie!

[astaire8]

I LOVE FRED... HE MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY !

Thank you....

[facistleader]

this is when music and movies had CLASS! Just look at the talent of this man. Also the movies he starred in had great sets, acting, dancing and singing. Wow! They couldn't even make anything like this today!

[chomsky88]

I love those triple whatchmacalits he does at the climax of the song. Fantastic and it expresses the joy of the song perfectly.

[errolfan]

Fred's ability to get to the heart of a great song before he would also dance to it, began with this movie. He may have not had the ideal singing voice, but his style and conviction more than made up for it.

[constanzavictrix]

personifiction of elegance...

[jazzbabydancing]

Watching this makes me really happy :)

[laughingdoll]

[OhGodisGood]

[superlive98]

You left out Fred's best line in the movie which was part of the lead-in to the song.

"Women pine, men just suffer."
