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.

Amazing. Usually the guy is supposed to show off the girl but here I cannot take my eyes off Fred Astaire. Is just the taps that draw attention or is just his charisma? =)
Without doubt the best dancing partnership in the history of cinema! Bar none.... and by a long, long shot. The emotion elicited though their dancing is much more than the sum of two parts: 1 + 1 = 2....of most other couples. For Fred and Ginger, it's 1 + 1 = 2,002! As Richard Jewell has said: They "'lift us up from the burdens of our weary world" by giving us "a timeless vision of surpassing beauty and grace". Bless them both.
this was the first dance of theirs i ever saw and its one of the best, though they are all briliant. Got me obssessed with Ginger Rogers... i like swing time more than top hat...
This film is now rated #90 by TCM of the greatest films ever made, and according to Richard Jewell, the author of the RKO Story...is truly the "most wonderful film ever made". Robert Mueller, author of "Astaire Dancing", considers it some of the "greatest dancing in the history of the universe"; and Arlene Croce, the author of the "FA and GR Book" calls it the "miricle film of the series"....The film that should not have worked, after the incomparible "Top Hat"..but does.
