This one is a real gem. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are at their very best. The musical numbers leave you humming them long after the movie is over. Great lyrics. Jerome Kern is a great song writer especially, "The way you look tonight" and "A fine romance" The dance scene with the shadows is very inventive. The black face presentation was very tasteful and lots of fun to watch. The rhythm is exciting in the number where Fred uses castanets in his hands. Ginger is so beautiful and they both are really funny. Ahh they just don't make movies like that anymore. Thank God we have these little jewels just waiting to be rediscovered once again. A great work of art, and craftsmanship that is lost, but still preserved.
