  • Jessie's costume is very revealing, perhaps too revealing for the Fred Astaire style. I I can't recall Ginger Rogers ever wearing anything like this.

  • @operadl The EARLY Thirties were a relaxed time. Only around the end, did styles change - with the introduction of rigid "foundation garments" - and things became more repressed.

    Fred and Ginger made ten movies together - about half were during the freer time - the other half after.

    But of course, "It's Love Again" was made in BRITAIN - where things were less uptight than in Hollywood, anyway.

    Plus, The Divine Miss Matthews' movies were VERY popular - so perhaps the censor was being generous!

  • "The Dancing Divinity." And so she was. Troubled all her life by insecurity and passages of depression and look at what she accomplished nonetheless. After youth passed she forged a fine career both on stage and on television as a character actress. The British public never fell out of love with her. But the career she should have enjoyed in the United States was denied her. I have never figured out the revolving stage here; I think just a part revolved but it's impossible to tell.

  • ...Top Notch orchestration....Beat That Vitaphone...God Bless you chap for sharring those Glorious and long gonne but not forgotten moments....

  • @songplugger Yes, I read that the studios wouldn't co-operate

    and thereby deprived the public of what would have been the greatest pairing in the history of dance. Jessie Matthews was one of the most vivacious women that ever lived;stunningly attractive and a superb entertainer, the world will never see her like again. Many thanks to ArtDecoChap for reminding us of what a delight she was.

  • A crime...a sin...that Jessie never made a film with Astaire! He wanted her as his co-star for A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS but RKO and Jessie's studio could not come to terms...:(

  • Thank you for posting. Jessie was both beautiful and talented.
