Here is another touch of class from the incomparable dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a sequence from 'The Barkleys of Broadway', dancing to the strains of 'You can't take that away from me'. I grew up during the 50's and these musicals still shine bright in my life, high-lighting those glorious years that will always be buried in the recesses of my heart and recalled from time to time. Why just yesterday, I saw Betty Grable and Dan Dailey in that top perennial fave 'Mother Wore Tights'; I seen this movie at least a dozen times and every time I have a recall memory jog, it's like seeing it for the first time.
Words fail to express the absolute beauty of Ginger and Fred dancing together. I fell in love with them the moment I saw them and decades later this has not changed. I long for the days of grace, elegance, beauty….
I'm amazed that Ginger Rogers was still able to dance so expertly some ten years after her last dancing movie. Did she continue to practice her dancing throughout the years, I wonder, or did she have a natural ability that just stayed with her? In any case, she's a dream. Thanks for sharing.
You're never going to see such talent on a dance floor like those two again. I was one of the lucky ones to live during theses years they were still dancing together. 🌹
