    Do you see the way they both just float over that fence? Without interrupting the tempo of the dance, without slowing the filming or any interruption? Extraordinary!

      Well, I don't be the contrary of you. I'm Ballerina of Ballet and tapping. Of course you have the reason that Fred and Ginger were a wonderful couple, and there be any special chimical between them!!! But you had watching Fred with Eleanor Powell? She was ballerina of Ballet, Queen of tapping and one of the best ballerinas of the Golden Age of Broadway!!! With all my respects to Ginger, other of the best.
      After cames some very good Ballerinas: Debbie Reynolds, Cid Charisse, Leslie Caron, Shirley Machine, and so on.
      But it's true that Ginger Rogers were pretty, elegant, and talentous!!!❤️🕊️🐶😸👍🏻

      Rita Hayworth, too. She was already a professional dancer, like her father, before beginning her acting career. Technically Rita was better than Ginger and she had a lot of charisma, but not everything is technical, because the dancers are actors in motion. The important thing is the chemistry and what Ginger and Fred conveyed together. Like you, I think that Ginger and Fred were the best dancers when they danced together; they were unique. Ginger and Fred floated. Rita Hayworth and Fred would be in second place and then all the other dancers. No one can forget Ginger and Fred, the best dance couple from the golden age of musicals in Hollywood.

    Past times that doesn't come back... What beautiful!!! Today don't exist so talent like in this Golden Era." Broadway Melodies". Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!!! Extraordinary!!! That way I grow up in my life. I have the luck of know the best of the cinema in my home, whitout celulars, trash TV, or another " technology advances" that brought to us a World without Respect, Education, and Mankind Values...
    I remember watching films of Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Donald O' Connor, Rita Hayworth, Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye... and more.
    And yes, I also remember two Angels that song like the birds:
    Nelson Edie and Jeannette MacDonald!!!

      Hmm. Did i miss the part where she's dancing "backwards"? She pretty much seemed to do the same moves he did. Over the years, i've watched several dances they did and saw the same. Except for ballroom dances, where each sometimes dance backwards because it's the only way to not run into the walls or other dancers.
      "In high heels" though, yeah, that's tough. Though i've never understood why some women choose to harm themselves wearing those torture devices.

    Dancing is nothing but physical fitness. Both at time dancing were young and physically fit. Alas, time flies away taking the youth with it.

    Magic.
    Part of that Magic, as Ginger Rogers explained, beside the well known
    hard work from Fred and Ginger, was, that she was just as ambitious
    'to get it right', as he was.

    Wonderful! The television channels would do well to replay these wonderful films that true cinema lovers miss. These comedies exude the good humor and beauty of an era that has sadly disappeared. Cinema can revive these immense talents! ARTE TV, you know what you have to do...

    Apparently Ginger Rogers was very near to quit, because Fred was such a damn, ruthless perfectionist and the eons it took to do the whole routine in one take was almost to much for her.
    The result looks so fantastic, though.
