Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers: I Won’t Dance

We find lately that a latent fetish for Fred and Ginger has awakened in us. Plenty of clips are available on youtube, and we still went out and bought the new 10-DVD Ultimate Fred & Ginger Collection for dear ol’ Mom.

This clip is from Roberta. Who knew that Fred could play piano like this? Buried under all that other talent. And Ginger shows here that, heck, she can act some! She looks great. And watch closely for a Hays Code-skirting jiggle or two. Incredible.

But for all the begging, except for the little bit of jiggle-shimmy on entry, guess who doesn’t dance.

 

PS: Yes, that’s Randolph Scott lining them up at the start of the clip.
