Class, talent, style, creative perfectionist and a great human being. They shot this in ONE TAKE!
We will never see his likes again.

The most elegant drunk ever. Fred Astaire is the GOD of elegance and the God of dance.

Why is it someone else could try and dance this to perfection but never come close to Mr. Fred Astaire? There's just something special about him I guess.

The ending is cut short on this video. After he says goodbye baby, she says goodbye darling. Fred boards the plane, and says, Oh I almost forgot, I love you. She says now is a fine time to tell me. In so many words. The movie ends with Joan watching the bombers flying over head with a little tear coming from her eye, and says something that is inaudible(placed in on purpose). The movie ends. Fred is a fighter pilot not a bomber pilot. He is just along for the ride with his two friends.

Fred introduced more great songs than anybody - and he is, as always, great here. But I'd like to point out that Robert Benchley (the Fat Man with the Broken Heart) is also always great in these thankless 2nd Banana roles.

I have this movie and I had it made into a DVD. Throughout this movie, Joan is trying to get Fred to work, but every interview she sets up for him he won't accept the job. She can't understand why. She finally walks out on him, and it hurts him. He sings this song. Her boss knows why he won't work. The end of this clip Joan finds out why he didn't want to work. She learns the secret he has been holding back on her.

Bing Crosby: "There never was a greater perfectionist, there never was, and never will be, a better dancer, and I never knew anybody more kind, more considerate, or more completely a gentleman...I love Fred, John, and I admire and respect him. I guess it's because he's so many things I'd like to be and I'm not. "

Fred has pretty good balance for a drunk guy.
