    I'm embarrassed to admit that I've worshiped Fred and Ginger since childhood, but never really watched his movies with other women. But Rita takes my breath away. She's so detailed. And those little hip swivels! Crazy! She blows him off the screen!

      No, he doesn’t even look stiff while dancing with Rita Hayworth since he has danced with other leading ladies through most of his movie career, and he was a professional dancer most of his life. Since he’s a man, he doesn’t have curves like a woman to sway or move the hips like a woman. Maybe you were just focusing too much on Rita Hayworth’s moves. She was already trained as a Spanish dancer from her father since she was a child and Hollywood trains their actors to dance and sing to this day.

      @@JMarieCAlove I agree with you. Don't get me wrong, Fred was a phenomenal dancer. In my opinion, his attention to detail and technique were impeccable. I don't think he was as graceful as Gene Kelly but he was a great technical dancer, no doubt about it. He was smart in choosing graceful partners to accompany him. He had a good relationship with Rita's father Eduardo. They knew each other from the vaudeville circuit. Rita was a professionally trained Spanish dancer who came from a respected family lineage of successful dancers. The Dancing Cansinos, led by her father Eduardo, were well known and respected. In the case of Rita, she was the epitome of grace and beauty. She truly stands out in this performance. It's magical!

    Upon reflection, a major part of the magic lies in how she let the shutters of her eyes close ever so marginally one moment. Only to almost instantly adopt that subtle wide eyed look in the very next instance. It's this tool in her armoury that ensnares weak mortals like myself every time. How could you not be mesmerised by that?

    Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire are an amazing pair together... far better than his partnership with Ginger Rogers. Even Fred himself said the best partner he ever danced with was Rita. :)

    Absolutely amazing. Wow. Is it odd that I've developed an infatuation with a woman who died 33 years ago...of Alzheimers?

    The word "slinky" must have been invented for Rita Hayworth!

    La bellezza è la sensualità di Rita H. offusca totalmente la bravura di Fred
