Top Hat

Top Hat

Perhaps the best remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, Top Hat has it all: Art Deco elegance, a whimsical storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the ideal chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score. It's a wake-up call to romance when Fred's lively No Strings hotel room dance disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) below. Love beckons ? until Ginger gets the wrong idea that Fred is a married playboy. Among the highlights: Fred mows down the chorus line in his signature Top Hat, White Tie and Tails, the shimmeringly dreamy Isn't It a Lovely Day (to Be Caught in the Rain)? and the tender Cheek to Cheek. Nominated for 4 Academy Awards?* including Best Picture, Top Hat is top-flight movie magic.

*Other 1935 Nominations: Best Dance Direction, Interior Decoration and Song (Cheek to Cheek).
