i think this is Ginger at her sexiest. she definitely looks more “filled out” than her skinny days in earlier Fred&Ginger movies. Fred may have had a “favorite” dance partner (not Ginger supposedly). but there’s no denying the chemistry and the magic they both create when they are together. this routine may have not been their best or much of a technical challenge, but this always had a soft spot for me and one of my favorites. the grace and the chemistry is just off the charts.
Fred Astaire also had a beautiful voice but he said it, Ginger sing out of tune that's why she couldn't sing with him. But they danced in sink in perfect Harmony as if they were dancing on air 😊 I love all her dresses they're so beautiful.
I was two years old and listening to what would become "my favorite Gershwin tune." A 78 rpm record from a multi-disk 'album' for the just released (1949) musical comedy where the song was introduced "THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY." I can see that heavy cardboard album cover, with a pastel blue picture of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We had to imagine this, until we saw it in theaters. As I tell the grand kids, this is the best time in human history to be alive. Another 'case in point.' Thanks, raulavellar for sharing this gem.
Here is another touch of class from the incomparable dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a sequence from 'The Barkleys of Broadway', dancing to the strains of 'You can't take that away from me'. I grew up during the 50's and these musicals still shine bright in my life, high-lighting those glorious years that will always be buried in the recesses of my heart and recalled from time to time. Why just yesterday, I saw Betty Grable and Dan Dailey in that top perennial fave 'Mother Wore Tights'; I seen this movie at least a dozen times and every time I have a recall memory jog, it's like seeing it for the first time.
Words fail to express the absolute beauty of Ginger and Fred dancing together. I fell in love with them the moment I saw them and decades later this has not changed. I long for the days of grace, elegance, beauty….
I'm amazed that Ginger Rogers was still able to dance so expertly some ten years after her last dancing movie. Did she continue to practice her dancing throughout the years, I wonder, or did she have a natural ability that just stayed with her? In any case, she's a dream. Thanks for sharing.
У этой женщины очень мужская фигура, широкие плечи и узкие бедра, она не может привлекать мужское внимание
Superb! Talk about genuine talent and grace!
I came for the dress and stayed for the dress. Don't get me started on the shoes.

To those who downplay Ginger's technical abilities: She's dancing in heels, kids! Could you even walk a straight line in those things?
was this colorized?
No, this was their only film in color.

There’s so much chemistry there, I could never understand why there was not a deep romantic relationship.
