The way her dress moves is mesmerizing. Almost as if it were dancing too, a third dance partner. Someone had incredible vision.

Never was the old saying, "They don't make them like that any more" so true.

No era had more style and elegance than the 1930s. Never since has there been such a talented couple in ballroom dancing in international film.

When I was a bit younger I dismissed Fred Astaire movies as fluff. Now I look at them in proper perspective and understand that they represent the ultimate in film entertainment. They inspire me to hope and happiness in a scary world.

I love the way they dance, sing, act. I simply love them!

Perfection. Love, love the exit.

Fred Astaire was a dancing genius compared to the crap we have to look at today this is just pure gold. I appreciate it because my father was in a lot of these old movies in the big bands playing in the background in Hollywood. In fact I just lost my mother who is 101 years old and she worked at Schwab‘s drugstore in Hollywood when my dad was in the studio bands. I grew up with this music

One camera. No edits just pure artistry at its highest❤

Such elegance, style and grace.

One of the impressive visions is not only the brilliance of the music, lyrics, dancing and song but, the physical appearance of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. They are enchantingly glamorous with a sylph look not discernible much today. That grace of a polite society has been replaced by a vulgarity unimaginable at that period.

I love Fred Astaire. I hope I can dance with him in heaven.

When i was a little girl i watched these movie all the time i love the elegance,gracefulness of them dancing and singing

She designed a lot of the gowns she wore. I heard an interview where she said this dress was all glass beads and weight a lot. She smacks Fred in the face with the heavy sleeve in one turn but they kept going. These two were pure class.

Watching this is to be reminded not just how incomparable Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were as a dance partnership but, also, what a fine singer Astaire was. This song is one of the great standards of the American Songbook. Astaire was the first to showcase its brilliance

The most awesome pairing of two of Hollywood's best dancers. I often watched footage of them as a young child in the 1950s. I am yet amazed by the they could glide gracefully across a dance floor. I wonder though, how Ginger Rogers could dance so magnificently in heels. Those really were the days.

They are so beautiful to watch!

Often I think that the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films represent the height of western civilization. They are so effortlessly glamorous and sophisticated, so graceful, so wistfully yet deeply emotional. Let's Face the Music is astonishing, built from just walking, really, stepping to the music. But the simplicity is deceptive. When I am tempted to despair, I just remember Fred and Ginger.

Brilliant! Fred Astaire was so smooth & sophisticated...Ginger, an absolute Beauty...the Fashion then was was very Glamorous

What a talent, to be able to keep up with Fred Astaire and win an Oscar for best actress. GInger Rogers!

her costume is perfect for this dance ...look at how the skirt moves.

Just about as magical as you can get and a brilliant song by the master, Irving Berlin

Utterly sublime.

I love music like this

Ginger Rogers looked just like my grandma. Gorgeous! Fred Astaire was the greatest, most elegant, dancer of all time, imo. 😍

I grew up watching these ‘old’ movies in the 60s. I was clearly born way too late because this era had so much charm, beauty, talent, and class.❤. Still love Fred and Ginger.

I have chills throughout. The beauty, the elegance, the lost art and culture.😢

The music and lyrics are fabulous, and the dancing divine ! does'nt get much better!

So beautiful.

One of the most perfect duo of all times! Fred and Ginger are so talented, accomplished, they fall in love by Dancing, Eye Contact, Music... it's just Magic!

Gorgeous actress and beautiful dress. Actor needs more than greatness

I never get tired to see these two amazing classy and graceful people dance!!! Their outfits are stunning and the background is always fantastic.

EXQUISITE dancing. .Never ages. And that dress...

I'm 61 but I was raised by my beloved Gramma, who has been dead now for 2O years, and she introduced me to Fred and Ginger as they were 'all the rage' in her day. I'm so glad she shared that part of her youth with me. I love Fred and Ginger!

If I could only watch one movie for the rest of my life.... Fred and Ginger, I just never get tired of them.

Possibly the best Berlin song ever.

What a wonderful couple, they compliment each other.

As perfect as dawn light on a snowflake! These two were mesmerizing. And THAT DRESS!!! how it swirls and twirls and unfurls as she moves! GR's gowns were as stunning as the routines!!! In these uncertain times its so refreshing to watch beauty!

Everything about this is just fabulous, the exit is sublime ♥️♥️♥️

Just painfully good. How many things are perfect here? Their elegance. His gentle voice. Her beauty. Her dress, weighted so that it swung around her when she stopped. Irving Berlin. The stage. The poetry of black and white. The sexuality as her shape is shown by the backlight through her dress. Her acting. The development. Her gradual surrender to the music. The understatement of the dance. But then the sudden flashes of emotion and speed. The rhapsodic arrangement. The balletic exit. It feels like America's finest moment.

At this time in the world we need beautiful songs and beautiful dancing! Love this song❤️

Perfection! The music. The choreography. The gown. The pairing of Rogers and Astaire. Best. Ever.

Absolute perfection in every aspect, the apex of American cinema and culture in the 1930's.

Wow! So elegant and polished! Those two were fabulous together.

Her dress is absolutely perfect. See the way it twirls as she moves around (I'd say it's the bias cut if I'm not mistaken) - the costumographer (I forgot what what was his name) really did and excellent job. Like the dress is not only a gorgeous sartorial addition, but also a piece of the choreography. I love that about Fred & Ginger films - that perfect attention to detail.

"Soon, we'll be without the moon humming a different tune, and then, there may be teardrops to shed. So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance; Let's face the music and dance." BEAUTIFUL beautiful and sublime lyrics imo

I recently read that Fred...later in life... credited Ginger with the success of their films. She was a very talented actress...but he was the dance master...with great musical sensibilities.

I fell in love with Fred Astaire when I was 5 years old....1959

This song gives me hope to go on. Life is beautiful but it gets more difficult each year. Love &:hope gets us through. Thanks for this video.

Such elegance. Now adays all they do is jump and flip and rub on each other. This is true class. And choreography.

Such a beautiful song and performance. What else could one say?

"No life, is without drama...so let's face the music & dance... and dance."

Talk about class. Everything in this scene is perfection. Wonderful.

Irving Berlin could write ANYTHING: Holiday stuff, patriotic stuff, subtle and not-so-subtle love songs, and incredibly hip stuff, like "Cheek to Cheek," and this, one of the hippest tunes ever written... ...including the lyrics.

These 2 set the bar high and no one will ever begin to match their style,poise,& grace. I have seen other people dance with Fred but that's all it was, 2 people dancing side by side. Fred & Ginger danced as 1. Truly magnificent!!!

Fabulous! Timeless!

Who can "not like" this video?

Truly, *they were magic together, ... and poetry in motion & music.* a symphony of romance and elegance. a very different world from today.

Fred Astaire choreographed all the routines he did with Ginger. Hermes Pan did the routines for the ensembles. They all enjoyed working together. Fred always designed routines to show off his partner's strengths. Ginger was his best ballroom dance partner, Eleanor Powell, (who choreographed also) was his best tap partner and Cyd Charise was his best formally trained partner, but no one created the chemistry like Ginger.

Movies and actors and actressess of those days were absolutely beautiful and fabulous.todays movies are not the same its a shame 😢🙁😒😔.rest in peace to fred and ginger 🕺💃🙏🕊🕊🦋🦋🌹🌹🌻🌻🌷🌷🕊🦋🌹AMEN

Wow the sets were much more beautiful and elegant back then!

From the great days of the movies. Never bettered

Only two shots, one for Fred's singing and one for the dancing. Technical perfection.

I'm really love them so much🥰

Ginger and Fred 😊 a wonderful couple who could act and dance. Her dress was so elegant and sexy 😊

I've watched every movie with Fred and Ginger. So elegantly done. Fred will always be my favorite dancer.

I dance like Fred Astaire, but only in my dreams.

Un vrai bonheur ,de voir ce couple tellement fascinant ,je ne m en lasse pas ,merci

I can’t imagine who would downvote this. FTF is often under appreciated in the Rogers/Astaire canon. It’s probably my second favorite of their RKO films. It’s mostly casual and playful until it arrives at this thoroughly ultra glam scene, which is really a play within a play. Ginger’s heavy beaded gown with those huge bell sleeves, and the sheer skirt which shows off her beautiful legs..is one of her sexiest (right behind the famous gorgeous biased cut gown from Swing Time’s ‘Never Gonna Dance’), but I digress. Movies like this keep me sane in an insane world. I would sell my soul to be able to teleport myself back to 1930s America (Great Depression and all). I’d stay there and live out the rest of my life.

I must've watched this clip dozens of times, but I only just thought to look at both their feet. It seems so effortless on top, but I was truly amazed by their footwork. It's far more complicated than I'd imagined and done so expertly. They're truly truly amazing dancers!

The most remarkable thing that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse and all of them pulled off...they made it look so EFFORTLESS. To look at them onscreen, you'd never know what kind of hard work goes into the art of dance.

Her gown is gorgeous!

This is fabulous on all levels.

I really love these old classics.. I'm only 50 But they r so0 Beautiful to watch & listen to 🎶 🤗 🎶

Just perfect. Gorgeous.

My utmost favorite dance scene of all of his with anyone. Doing it with Ginger was the cherry on top!!❤

People during the Depression with not enough food in their stomachs and overdue rent they couldn't pay and countless sleepless nights would scrape together enough do-re-mi to see an Astaire/Rogers film. It was their only escape from a relentlessly harsh world.

I’ve watched Fed Astaire and Ginger Rogers Movies every New Years Eve since I was a child. When cable came around in the early ‘80’s by us bringing AMC into my living room…I was overjoyed to continue my love of these classic movies from then on!!

Two things happened in this film 1) On his first twirl with Ginger, her sleeve, very heavy from costume jewelry smacks Fred in the face. They reshot the scene several times, but in the end, went with the first take, as Astair flinched every time after that. 2) I fell in love with "the silhouette " Rogers is so sexy when her legs are highlighted thru the dress.

The word "gorgeous" fits the performance, and the music and lyrics provide it with a character to be remembered forever.

That music is astonishingly really good. Young people are so ignorant about this kind of music and I’m 21 somebody jokingly said to me one day that old music makes them have nightmares that’s stupid. This kind of music is definitely coming back a 2020s with people like Alex Mendham, and inspiring me to want to be a successful vocalist and musician myself. And nothing like the great Ms. Ginger Rogers and Mr. Fred Astaire.

When I was a little kid in the 1960s, I saw Ginger Rogers at a dog show in NYC. That's my little brush with a legend of movie history.

A tragic song in a way, nothing to live for, just the present. But so beautiful.

And one long, beautiful take, unlike what you generally see in today's attempts at musicals.

When we can escape to gracefulness, gentleness and beautiful music why would we choose what makes us angry or sad. There is only one life to live and this glittery romance takes us to the best feelings with which to carry on.

Elegant. Classic, Timeless! The rhythm and the tempo between Astaire and Rogers...Epic! 👍😊

Ils sont irremplaçables,ils sont sublimes

I fell in love with Music, Dance and lastly Fashion .... I was 10 years old.... Irvin Berlin, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers are American Icons in a level unsurpassed!!

A perfect song for this year.

They were the cutest!!! Also, they were amazing dancers.

Cette scène est absolument sublime, et avec une seule prise.

Pure elegance!

The music is just...beautiful. It's all so elegant...

Sheer perfection ❤

These movies used to be on sundays many times growing up i remember in Portugal

Beautiful.Magical dress too …

I am 14 years old but this is my favourite song ever!!!

Beautiful, elegant and romantic. Nothing will ever compare them!!! Nothing similar will ever be seen again! Thanks for posting!!!

Beautiful music and dancers

Seen all the dances they've done-- look how incredibly complex both dance and acting moves are in the piece. I think its their best, most difficult work. Kudos to our departed , revered artists

It looks to me that the dance sequence was done in one take - that is fantastic!
