Swing Time - Rogers and Astaire

In this Swing Time clip, Lucky, Astaire, saves Penny's, Rogers, job by showing how much she has taught him.

The first true dance number with the two, the other being with Fred fumbling and pretending to be a terrible dancer. Both scenes, however, go to the same song, Pick Yourself Up, this scene without lyrics and much more lively with the other more calm, with lyrics, between the two.

Music by Jerome Kern and Lyrics by Dorothy Fields

That was the time when actors actually had to be talented. They could sing dance and act. simply wooow

[saxon954]

Imagine how great it would be to be able to go out in the evening and watch this after a rotten day at work.

@sweetluvinjc Not really.

I love Ginger, though. She was amazing!

Fred & Ginger forever!

[vck97]

...wow. That was incredible.

[sweetluvinjc]

So true that Ginger did everything Fred did...only backwards...and in heels. <3 it!

I am thinking an old man with spats turned on a lot of girls with this vid.

@LiloPelakai So you are saying that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were hacks?!! Sorry to tell you, but the only dancers that made a difference were F&G, and Mikhail Baryshinokov.

[Anyality]

I love how they just casually walk out at the end. :)

[onebaud1]

Just two super human beings that had talent and poise. They exuded class in everything they did. The world so misses people like these.

I'm in love with her dress!it moves so swiftly

[LiloPelakai]

@TheMedievalBabe Yeah, kinda like now.

they were a bunch of hacks back then too who got by almost entirely on looks if they were female. well, some of them, like Marilyn, Jayne, Liz, etc. Dont pretend just because it's in black in white it's somehow better. please. pseudo-nostalgia is stupid.
