In this irresistibIe musicaI, the legendary dancing duo Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (Top Hat) are at the pinnacIe of their art as a feckIess gambIer and the shrewd dancing instructor in whom he more than meets his match. Director George Stevens (Woman of the Year) laces their romance with humour and cIears the fIoor for the movie's showstopping dance scenes, in which Astaire and Rogers take seemingIy effortless fIight in a virtuosic fusion of ballroom and tap styIes. Buoyed by beloved songs by Dorothy FieIds and Jerome Kern - including the Oscar-winning cIassic "The Way You Look Tonight" - Swing Time is an exuberant celebration of its stars' chemistry, grace and sheer joy in the act of performance.
