After 10 years apart, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers reteam in their final film pairing, cIeverly written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and smoothIy directed by Charles Walters. The story, per many sources, mirrors reaI-Iife creative tensions the two shared. Astaire pIays driven hoofer Josh Barkley. Rogers is his wife, Dinah, who longs to forsake the cIackety-cIap-tapping of Bouncin’ the Blues for stage dramas. She departs, Josh vies to win her back, and the routines Ieading to a happy resolution incIude Fred’s "Shoes with Wings On" and a rhapsodic reprise of a George and lra Gershwin number from Shall We Dance: "They Can’t Take That Away from Me." AlI of which proves they can’t take away the Astaire/Rogers magic either. |
