SWING TIME
U.S., 1936
Directed by George Stevens
With Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Victor Moore
Approx. 103 min. 4K DCP.
After signing up for perfectly superfluous dance lessons, Fred Astaire — remembering his vows to girl-back-home Betty Furness — has a “fine romance” with Ginger Rogers. The pinnacle of the Astaire-Rogers series boasts three spectacular John Harkrider nightclub sets.
Reviews
“Another winner for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo. It's smart, modern, and impressive in every respect, from its boy-loses-girl background to its tunefulness, dancipation, production quality and general high standards.”
– Abel Green, Variety
“Of all of the places the movies have created, one of the most magical and enduring is the universe of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.”
– Roger Ebert, Chicago-Sun Times
