Exclusive“Swing Time” (1936): First Fred and Ginger Musical

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers remain one of the most beloved film couples in Hollywood history. Even those who have never seen an old movie have probably heard of these famous silver screen dancers. Anyone interested in learning more about classic Hollywood should become familiar with Fred and Ginger’s musicals, which numbered nine in the 1930s and a tenth a decade later. Where do you start? For a film that encapsulates the dancing, singing, loving, and laughing which made their films so popular, look no further than “Swing Time” from 1936. This was their sixth film together, so RKO Radio Pictures had mastered the formula for their movies. The story is hilarious and not overly predictable, with some hilarious supporting actors. This original score by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields introduced some fabulous songs, some of which became standards. Of course, the dance numbers are among their best. “Swing Time” is a great time!
