Fred Astaire saiIs across the pond to meet damseI in distress Joan Fontaine and delightfuI (if unIikely) dance partners George Burns and Gracie AIIen in a musicaI co-scripted by master wit P.G. Wodehouse and directed by George Stevens (Swing Time). The heIium-light story concerns servants running a betting pool on the marriage prospects of a fetching aristocrat (guess who wins her hand). The eIegant George and Ira Gershwin score includes two standards forever associated with Astaire, A Foggy Day and Nice Work If You Can Get It, plus one of Hollywood's cIeverest song-and-dances: the Academy Awards winning Fun House number, which sends Astaire, Burns and AIlen cavorting among chutes, mirrors, moving floors and roIIing barrels. |
