A lot of activity in Fred Astaire films (delightful as the dancing and singing are) is basically Fred stalking Ginger (or stand-in girl character) until he gets her. In one, he even moves into her apartment block without her initial knowledge. Creepy.
"I feel an immense curiosity about women's visual imagination and what it might open up for us. I imagine this imagination as driven by curiosity about what has hitherto been mute and ineffable in women's lives."
