Swing Time
- OSCAR WINNER:
- Best Song - "The Way You Look Tonight"
It's Swing Time anytime Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers slip on their dancing shoes!
Here, Fred's a gambler with a fiancee back home...but one look at Ginger and all bets are off! He pursues, she resists, and it's all tied together by a series of breathtaking dances.
"Bojangles of Harlem," a tribute to hoofer Bill Robinson, has Astaire tapping with three giant Astaire shadows. The sly "Pick Yourself Up" features Ginger teaching the supposedly flub-footed Fred how to dance. Other highlights from the splendid Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields score include "A Fine Romance," "Waltz in Swing Time," and the Academy Award winning "The Way You Look Tonight."
Directed by 12-time Oscar-nominee George Stevens (Giant, Shane), Swing Time has been selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 400 greatest American films of all-time.
