I did the same.Thanks Matt for a great intro to a disc I'll place inside my treasured Fred and Ginger box-set with the hologram cover.
For sheer beauty, there is nothing like Ginger's final dip in Let's Face the Music and Dance in Follow the Fleet. It bring tears to my eyes.Well, Mike .. you'll find Top Hat and Gay Divorcee just as totally astounding. And Follow the Fleet is worth every cent just for its superb casino scene .. and of course Flying down to Rio for its death-defying airplane wing sequences (no spoilers please...) and Roberta for I Won't Dance, and . etc etc etc.
I appreciate the input about the other films.
For some reason, I've seen so many more Gene Kelly films over the years. Can't really think of a good reason why that is.
I always remember a story that I remember Mel Torme telling on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in which he made the claim that Fred Astaire was not only one of the best dancers of all time...but that he was also one of the best singers ever.
