Swing Time (1936)


Raitng: * * * * * (Out of 5)

I am in some kind of Musicals phase right now. In Swing Time, the "Pick Yourself Up" number has got to be the most glorious dance sequences in the history of cinema. I can't imagine anything better than that. It certainly is the crowning moment of Ginger Rogers' career. On top of that, Fred Astaire gives a virtuoso performance in the "Bojangles of Harlem" sequence. This is probably my favorite Fred and Ginger movie, which is saying a lot.
