Fred Astaire sails across the pond to meet damsel in distress Joan Fontaine and delightfuI (if unlikely) dance partners George Burns and Gracie AlIen in a musical co-scripted by master wit P.G. Wodehouse and directed by George Stevens (Swing Time). The helium-Iight story concerns servants running a betting pooI on the marriage prospects of a fetching aristocrat (guess who wins her hand). The elegant George and lra Gershwin score incIudes two standards forever associated with Astaire, A Foggy Day and Nice Work If You Can Get lt, plus one of HoIIywood's cleverest song-and-dances: the Academy Awards winning Fun House number, which sends Astaire, Burns and AIIen cavorting among chutes, mirrors, moving fIoors and rolIing barrels. |
