These two people personified elegance in their movies together....their chemistry was always obvious and believable., always backed with wonderful music and lyrics 🤓😊👍
The brief, but exquisite dance that follows the song has a moment at 3:19, a medium close-up of Astaire and Rogers in such intense stillness and intimacy, that every time I see it, I can't help thinking, "If that isn't love..."
Riven Berlin wrote some great musicials.1930s was a beautiful time although world war 2 was on.but id say it made people of that time forget watching such class was Fred And Ginger dancing so beautiful. 💫💃🤗👠👠💫 👞👞
It probably helped a lot that Ginger was always between 100 and 105 lbs in those six years at RKO. When she'd drop below 100, the doctors would bench her until she put on a few pounds. She was tiny!
Carlos Faria Yes, but they don't come with equal brilliance to everyone ;-) It occurs to me that this is one of A & R's simpler dances, in terms of dance technique difficulty. I was considering the idea of getting a partner and re-creating it. Of course, it's better in many ways to create one's own pieces, which I do, but it might be fun for once to just try to step into the footsteps of the master and his lovely partner (I won't say "muse," because I think Mr. Astaire might well have disagreed with that). One couldn't get near the special magic they create, but still.... These days, it's a good bet that the great majority of our audience would never have seen this movie; if it were an audience filled with Astaire fans, I'd probably never dare.
AvalonMorley fred was an amazing actor and singer! he is one of my favorite actors and singers from this generation with my top being annette hanshaw but fred just made every scene so full of life. He brought this sense for magic that was just his own it made everything perfect. I haven't had a chance to see all his movies bit whenever he is one I make it a priority to see it. so I have to see this one and swing time soon!
***** Definitely. SWING TIME is just delicious! Have you seen TOP HAT? Love that! And, from later, YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER, with that great Shorty George dance! I agree with you. My late mother, who was a young woman as Mr. Astaire's star was ascending, never cared so much for him, because she couldn't believe him as a leading man, who could enchant beautiful, exciting women. Each to her own.
Es un espectáculo para mi ver a Fred Ástaire bailar sea solo o en pareja yo creo qué bailar era su vida no como decían que fue obligado a ser bailarín por su hermana ,cuando quedo solo tuvo que reinventarse y demostrar lo que sabia hacer y vaya que lo hizo tuvo una carrera hermosa y como dije antes bailar era su vida y creo que lo sigue haciendo en el cielo fue y sera siempre un maestro y una persona inolvidable💙👏👏👏👏👏
The idea of Fred controlling Ginger's movements hypnotically recurs in Hermes Pan's opening sequence of the TV special, 'An Evening with Fred Astaire', in which Fred drills the whole chorus.
It’s been noted that as the Astaire/Rogers era was drawing to a close - so, too, was the Art Deco era in which it thrived. The sets of this movie - while elegant - are more realistic than the beautiful Art Deco fantasies of their earlier movies.
One of Ginger's beefs with the director, Mark Sandrich, was that he shot the back of her head and missed her eloquent face when Fred serenaded her before a dance. Sandrich had been formally warned by Pandro Berman, RKO's production head, not to antagonise Ginger, who was becoming the studio's biggest asset. So here the master of tactful observation lays on camera motions from an overhead angle, weaving through a crowd to catch Ginger's reactions. This underlines how 'Carefree' is a snappy screwball comedy with musical interludes rather than the 'integrated' masterpieces before it... and how Ginger, returning after an 18-month break, had forged ahead of her partner in audience appeal. The dance is sweet but short; it does not expand into anything as bitterly rapturous as 'Never Gonna Dance' from 'Swing Time' or Berlin's 'Let's Face the Music and Dance' from 'Follow the Fleet'. These were also comedies of rupture and reconciliation, but the prevalent mood of 'Carefree', as the title advises, is less heated. The team was headed for breakup, but reserved the emotions of such a dissolution for their next and final RKO work, their most somber.
Que belleza.Siempre me llamo la atencion la brevedad de este baile;y su perfeccion .Tambien la expresion sensual y romantica de ambos;como Fred toma la cintura de ella y la mira...como en ningun otro baile...no se;digo.👀🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🍃🌹🌠💎🌠💎🌠
If there is anything more perfect than these various clips I am yet to hear & see them .Fred introduced numerous songs that became classics sung and interpreted by the likes of Sinatra etc. However, when played they always remind me of Mr Astaire for whom the saying “fashion changes but style endures” can be more than genuinely attributed to.
The dance sequence "Hard to Handle" from the film "Roberta" was actually a dress rehearsal that was captured on film. Other than that the only thing I know of is candid photos. Ginger didn't rehearse that much with Astaire. She usually rehearsed with their choreographer, Hermes Pan. In the early years she was far too busy with her solo career to change her schedule to suit Astaire and after that, well why change something that works?
Огромное спасибо Вам за прекрасное видео и Танцы Шедевр. Вспомнила как мы Танцевали. Юность Наша Прекрасна. Очень хочу увидеть Нашей Юности Танцы и Услышать Музыку Нашей Юности. Благодарю вас за Прекрасную Музыку и Видео Чудесное Вы Талант Послан Богом Нам нужен Нам. Берегите себя. Галина.
You're such a romantic!! 😉😍 love all their movies. So.... You got anymore?? Have you ever checked out the film forum in Manhattan ? Look it up, I think you'll like it.
Carefree is a great movie as it stands but it would be one of the greatest films ever made if they had replaced Astaire with a leading man able to keep up with Ginger onscreen - Cary Grant or Gable or Cagney - and either drop the dances or simplify them. Ginger had grown so much by this time that her old partner just gets left behind except on the dance floor.
Very rare instance of Fred lifting Ginger and spinning with her at the finish, though he does not set her back on her feet. The corollary of his lighter-than--air quality was his lack of upper body strength, which might be behind his frequent disparagement at the time of 'toe-dancing', i.e. classical ballet as mocked in 'Shall We Dance'. But when Fred went to MGM he had to move towards it, under the stimulus of Kelly's competition. Critics have complained that this is a notch down from Berlin's other romantic numbers for the team. How spoilt for choice they are.
@@JRobbySh Yes, he always looked as if he had burst up from the earth like a mighty tree trunk, whereas Fred seemed to be drifting gently down from the skies and hovering slightly off the ground. In 'The Babbitt and the Bromide' you can see them striving to bring their styles into equilibrium.
Frank had a better, stronger, deeper voice, and he was a great singer. But Astaire is an equally great vocalist. he's always just...perfect. Composers wrote songs for Astaire that Sinatra recorded later on. People will compare Astaire's singing with Sinatra's. No one compares Sinatra's dancing with Astaire's.
I'm addicted to the old Hollywood
Another Irving Berlin beauty

For a man so slight, Astaire must have been very strong.
It probably helped a lot that Ginger was always between 100 and 105 lbs in those six years at RKO. When she'd drop below 100, the doctors would bench her until she put on a few pounds. She was tiny!
A PRICELESS DUO, AND A GEM BY IRVING BERLIN. LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Fred and Ginger were always about the pursuit of Joy, Romance, Style, and Elegance.
A Team never quite to be equaled. Timeless.⌛💝💛💝
This is art in it’s purest form
Love this song. Love Fred and Ginger. I can watch them dance for hours. In fact, l now do!
Quel enchantement .Je suis transportée loin , très loin grâce à la magie hollywoodienne de Ginger et Fred merveilleux artistes !
What happened to romance...? Such nostalgia.
Wonderful, thank you for posting this.
Das gibt heute nicht mehr
Loved this dance and song. Sorry guys but she was the best partner he ever had!!
Timeless and classic
NOTHING COMPARES TO THE INCREDIBLE CHEMISTRY
BETWEEN FRED AND GINGER - SIMPLY WONDERFUL !!
Thank you !
How is it that Mr. Astaire was so brilliant? His creations are simply dazzling, yet also touching, full of heart.
When you love what you do, things come naturally ;)
Carlos Faria

And Ralph Bellamy as well, what a superb actor he was
Ralph Bellamy was so good looking. One of my all time favourites.❤
@@joannetailor4094 and superb as the other fella in comedies such as The Awful Truth and His Girl Friday, losing the heroine to Cary Grant
So beautiful. They made it look so effortless.

Hollywood certainly churned them out but each one a gem, aah😄
What a gorgeous song! Irving Berlin Genius!
love it just like heaven
So beautiful and romantic!
I love this song. Perfection.
It is one of the best ever written. Words and music are perfect.
FRED AND GINGER ARE WONDERFUL
TOGETHER..
Thanks for this..

The lyrics and music are so beautifully put together. Irving was a genius.
dontheshark , yes they are. ;)
I just love this song.
I love this song, too. You might enjoy Frank Sinatra's version on his album with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Berlin was a indeed genius.
Frank is my favorite since forever. I am 80 years old now. I also think the dance in the garden is one of the most beautiful scenes ever.
I agree, it's an amazing dance scene. Poor Ginger had to dance in high heels, what a great dancer and superb actress and comedienne she was.
Berlin: Americas greatest song writer. And most Americans under 40 never heard of him or his songs. What a disgrace.
ABsolutely!
Every man's wish - complete control of a woman!
Just so lovely and pure. Nothing ever can compare
Gorgeous
one of my very favourites
bitter topic
but beautiful melody 💖
Freddie, the wizard
oh, well
LOVE MAKES YOU WEAK
AND DANCING 💃
This is wonderful to see and hear ❤!!!
Real Complete Artists
What is Wrong with The 8 People that Disliked this? Too Romantic for them? ;)
They've never changed partners. ;-)
i wonder if there is any film of their dance rehearsals. that would be interesting to see.

Bellìsimo tema!!!... Mis sentidos se recrean con tanta armonìa en el baile y con la mùsica!!! Muchas Gracias por compartir!!!
Dreamy performance !!
Cannot get enough of Fred Astaire and ginger rogers simply beautiful aida
I thought this was a Jobim song IT'S A BERLIN SONG, and Fred sings it? I'm so glad FRED ASTAIRE I LOVE YOU
Jobim era fan...unica letra da canção americana , que eu conheço ,escrita com "picardia "(malicia latina ) abç
Yes, Frank Sinatra sang it too.
@@nilanjanabhattacharjee8266 Sinatra and Jobim's version is better in my opinion. It has more style and flavor.

Tnx for sharing
Adorooo...love them! Gracias por publicarlo😍
Fabulous !

💙🔥💙
My pleasure always. ;)

Thank you for posting this. Please note that the name "Roger" should be "Rogers" in the title, and "Irvin" should be "Irving" in the description.
Lovely. All the duet dances in Carefree are incredible. Just an observation, but Ginger's last name is 'Rogers'...there is no "d" in it.
+Chris Mc Glad you appreciate and sorry for the typo.
We want to be Fred but most of us are Ralph Bellamy.
You're such a romantic!! 😉😍 love all their movies. So.... You got anymore??
Have you ever checked out the film forum in Manhattan ? Look it up, I think you'll like it.
Why don't you just click to see the rest on my videos ;) :P
Mrs. Astaire is there ... 😮❤🎉🎉🎉 WGNJMNFAS

Carefree is a great movie as it stands but it would be one of the greatest films ever made if they had replaced Astaire with a leading man able to keep up with Ginger onscreen - Cary Grant or Gable or Cagney - and either drop the dances or simplify them.
Ginger had grown so much by this time that her old partner just gets left behind except on the dance floor.
Very rare instance of Fred lifting Ginger and spinning with her at the finish, though he does not set her back on her feet.
The corollary of his lighter-than--air quality was his lack of upper body strength, which might be behind his frequent disparagement at the time of 'toe-dancing', i.e. classical ballet as mocked in 'Shall We Dance'. But when Fred went to MGM he had to move towards it, under the stimulus of Kelly's competition.
Critics have complained that this is a notch down from Berlin's other romantic numbers for the team. How spoilt for choice they are.
Strength is relative. He did not do lifts, but those who do are powerful men, far above average.
Kelly, BTW, could have lifted the front of a car if necessary.
@@JRobbySh Yes, he always looked as if he had burst up from the earth like a mighty tree trunk, whereas Fred seemed to be drifting gently down from the skies and hovering slightly off the ground. In 'The Babbitt and the Bromide' you can see them striving to bring their styles into equilibrium.
Frank Sinatra cantava.
Irvin did write some better song already ;-)
Ya Think?
@@TheRealDeBo Yes, I usually do; it's an addiction.
You not? Oh, you lucky man, for sure so much happier than me!
Yeah. This number should have been scrapped all together...
The gall...
@@mauricioduron3193 no, this song is a masterpiece, you cannot understand just that
@@muzafferelbeyli2756 Am a Berlin/Fred Astaire lifetime fan...was using sarcasm ("The gall...") to bolster GianMarco's comment.
Frank sang it better tho. He does everything perfect. ♥️♥️
But Astaire sang it first
@@abrock4052 no question on that ! 👌🏻
Frank had a better, stronger, deeper voice, and he was a great singer. But Astaire is an equally great vocalist. he's always just...perfect. Composers wrote songs for Astaire that Sinatra recorded later on.

Today this looks like sexual harassment.
lol I hate him
Hate Who?
Seems you have a problem. Keep going Mr. Farina love all of your posts when it’s Fred and Ginger 🥰
