    Absolutely beautiful. Watching them dance puts a lump in my throat. I cannot explain it but it’s a visceral reaction to something. Those two were so incredibly talented and Ginger was drop-dead gorgeous. IMO, she was the epitome of femininity, grace, poise, class and style.

    I was an amateur dancer for over 40 years, including Ballroom dance. From that prospective, not to diminish all great Ballroom dancers I was observing for more thsn a half a century, Fred Astaire was and always will be the best. Most elegant dancer of all time.

      Roger Propes it's actually the dress, it's bias cut so it's sort of like a slinky. it's kind of the same as Chinese hand cuffs, the more it pulls the slimmer and longer it gets. in this case, the twirling makes the dress sort of ride up thus shortening it.

      Late to the party but I want to add that they used to put lead weights in the hem of the dress so it would flair elegantly :)

      @globalman 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Thank you Kell + I believe most are affected by the beauty but few are really conscious of these clothes and even fewer recognise or have given credit to how difficult it was for Ginger to do what she did compared to Fred. She had to do all those steps, movements and gestures on high heels and often backwards to his leading. In addition she had to concentrate on the movement of the cloth of her dresses/ gowns. Everyone may think this was all by chance and the laws of physics but it was not. She made it look easy but it wasn't. To get fabric to move the way her dresses looked took much practice and focus.

    When Fred danced with Eleanor, it was flat out hoofing. Even Fred said she made him work too hard. With Cyd he made beautiful, artistic lines. We did not for a moment believe she was in love with him. When Fred danced with Rita one had the impression he had the infatuation for her of an older man that went unreciprocated. But with Ginger in the RKO originals... the way her body yielded to him, the expression on her face, that was love. Even if expertly simulated, it convinced.

    Now that is a truly graceful pair of human beings. It is something that approaches "Magical" but at the very least is majestic in how they "Flow" together like there are strings between them to synchronize the forward and backward movements. It is mesmerizing! She is one pretty lady. And she remained pretty right up until she died in her mid 80s around 1995. Her eyes could look right into your soul, then she would say something in her cute "girl next door" voice and WHAM, she had a piece of your heart. She worked so hard for what she wanted, and she got it, and deserved it, too. Can you imagine dancing like that in HIGH HEELS - OMG! I'd be in a wheelchair for life.

      Billy Stine Eleanor was a superb athletic tap artist, but she didn't have the softness and giving in evidence with Ginger.

    The second sequence which is from 'Swingtime' (1938) was Ginger's favourite dance. It took 48 takes before they were happy and didn't finish filming until 4a.m., on at least one occasion Fred's toupee fell off at the end of a perfect take when she spins and Fred catches her. And yes, her shoes were red with blood on the inside but she insisted on continuing. Eat your hearts out Strictly Come Dancing!

      +Jeff Wallder You can actually see that she is wearing two pairs of shoes - one on the lower level and another for those spine tingling spins. Her feet bled into the first pair and the director told them to stop but they wanted to finish the entire dance. Hence the new shoes which do not have the straps the original pair had.

    Grace, Pace and lashings of Style.. wonderful beyond words.. and that's just Fred.
    As to Madame.. erm.. slim, fit, lish, GORGEOUS certainly and the absolute business.
    I first saw them on UK tv as a child in the 1950's and have sat bewitched ever since.
    Whatever happened to a world with lovely people and style, where today we get Fatties, and Tattoo's.?
    Happy days.. I wonder.?

    You know those few pairings in films where you just know that chemistry doesn't just come from the script but from each other off the screen? These two were the first to introduce me to that sense. There's a closeness between them that can't be manufactured or put on.

      Once she was asked if she got to keep her magnificent dresses, her answer was, oh no my gowns where on loan from the studio,many costing a couple thousand dollars or more and some where designed by top exclusive designers.
