They All Laughed

Today is the 75th anniversary of the release of the Fred and Ginger picture "Shall We Dance."  I don't have as much material on this film as I do earlier ones like "Top Hat", but this does have a Gershwin soundtrack, and some cool numbers.

Here's a nice shot of Ginger rehearsing the song for "They All Laughed", which I think is my favorite song from this film!  "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" is the more famous number, and it is interesting, but geez, there's only so much even they can do on roller skates!

Here's both the song and the wonderful dance that flows from it.  Take it away, F&G!



It also includes the beautiful song "They Can't Take That Away From Me."

And the very cool final scene where Fred dances with a pack of Ginger clones, having to find the Real One hiding in there somewhere!....But Love and Dance will out....

Despite this picture, Ginger and director Mark Sandrich didn't get along very well, and after this film, she had him specifically banned for working on one of her movies again! Sadly, he passed away just 5 years later...

Not my favorite film of theirs, but still many beautiful moments!

Girl with Hat

Stop hiding Ginger....

A bit of color from 1939

 Fred and Ginger -- in color! -- in a scene from 1939's Story of Vernon and Irene Castle. (no sound!) I believe this is Ginger's camera....

I suppose I should have thought of this...

But you'd think that WWII would yield at least one of these....

The birthday is not tomorrow, but Tuesday....

Some are making a big deal out of it...

Others wait at the bar....

uh oh...can't have everyone in red, right?

I can't seem to stop the trend....I'll have to suffer and go with the flow...
 

Ginger even....


I'll let you know how it all works out!

Listening in....

Is Ginger trying to tune in the game?  Some rave?  A mystery....

Nope....not till the end of the month!

Sorry Ginger.....my birthday will be soon, so please be patient!
