ASTAIRE & ROGERS COLLECTION, VOL. 1 (TOP HAT / SWING TIME / FOLLOW THE FLEET / SHALL WE DANCE / THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY)

Details

• Genre: Concert Film
• Plot: TOP HAT; The pair's best-remebered film features Fred's signature 'Top Hat, White Tie and Tails', the incomparably romantic 'Cheek to Cheek' and more in Irving Berlin's tip-top score.; ; SWING TIME; One of the team's greatest! The Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields score goes from jubilant ('Pick Yourself Up', 'Bojangles of Harlem') to sublime (the Oscar-winning 'The Way You Look Tonight', 'A Fine Romance').; ; THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY; Fred has unstoppable 'Shoes with Wings On' in the duo's last -- and only color -- movie. Not to be missed: the pair's memorable revisit to 'They Can't Take That Away from Me'.; ; FOLLOW THE FLEET; All hands on deck! Irving Berlin's songs include 'Let Yourself Go', the high-stepping 'I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket' and the elegant 'Let's Face the Music and Dance'.; ; SHALL WE DANCE; A George and Ira Gershwin score has Fred tapping to 'Slap That Bass' rhythms of a ship's engine room and the duo's 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off' skate routine. Pure bliss!
