Classic Film Friday: Top Hat

How about some singing and dancing? This Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie is set in Europe and the premise is mistaken identity. Which caused me to ask... Did people actually go out of their way to not talk to each other? Other than that glaring problem, the movie is pretty good. Apparently the best money grosser of the pair.

Astaire Plays an American dancer Jerry Travers to Rogers Dale Tremont, who is associated with Alberto Beddini (Erik Rhodes) as he is a clothing designer. It turns out that Dale is in a hotel room just below where show producer Horace Hardwick (Edward Everett Horton) and Astaire is staying. Some late night dancing starts everything off.

The "Cheek to Cheek" song is the most memorable. What else could you want? It's a Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie.
