You see Ginger's bright blue eyes even in black and white. Simply gorgeous!

1934. This is the first song to win an acadamy award.

Look at Fred's facial expression when he looks at ginger and his slight of bashfulness when she sings you kiss whilst your dancing and he says " that's not a bad idea!" Soo sweet and very handsome too

I could listen to Ginger sing all day...she's so adorable ❤️.

They are so ridiculously adorable.

I love Ginger Rodgers' expressions as she sings, so adorable.

Ginger charms with her eyes, her face is the eternal beauty, and her voice makes the world seem new. Don't take it apart, all together it is quite singular.

Still the most beautiful dancer on screen and the best pair ever to dance together. I love Fred Astaire with the other dance partners he had but ginger Rogers was really the special one in my eyes.

I have watched all ten Astaire-Roger films mulitple times!

Ginger, Fred and Irving. Our friends forever.

just stunning and beautiful for every second!

1934. Ginger is so cute, beautiful movie, I've always loved these two people...from Chicago, Illinois.

I've always been in love with these two beautiful people

I just love these 2, get those big flirty eyes !

This song is from before my own time, but my late Dad, had the record, so I heard it and liked it, when I was still a kid. And it is still good to hear, now I understand fully what the lyrics say.

This is so wonderful.....they are so beautiful together ❤️ ❤

I saw this movie when I was 13 home from a concert and still tripping. I never let a chance go by to see it. Fred , ginger and Cole porter...damn

What a great pair!

Simply the best dancers God ever made.

When Fred whistles the tune at 0:45, he syncopates it. Although the number is basically American Smooth, he jazzes it up. This riffing keeps up interest in the melody throughout 16 minutes: the longest sequence yet filmed that was pegged to a single tune, a daring gamble. Rhythmic variation was the heart of the Hollywood musical from the early days of talkies. Jazz had swept through Broadway. Now it would illustrate the back-and-forth rhythm of romance in films, with its meetings-cute, instant dislikes, misunderstandings and obstacles overcome. At RKO jazzed-up soundtracks served to work music into the narrative flow. Songs would be trailed or reprised wordlessly and non-diagetically, or sung straight and then played for laughs, quoted in snatches, woven into dialogue as intricately as operatic leitmotifs. Fred, Hermes Pan and Mark Sandrich did this more consistently than Busby Berkeley at Warner; his pieces de resistance were detachable showstoppers, but 'The Continental' advances the plot with the outwitting of Tonetti.

This song is so catchy !!! Ginger is adorable I love her facial expressions she's just such a cutie ❤️❤️

The music they danced to was so great that they could only compete against themselves at the Academy Awards: The Carioca from "Flying Down to Rio" (released Dec. 29,1933) vs. The Continental from "The Gay Divorcee." It is too cool that the first Academy Award for Best Song would be introduced by the greatest talent ever to emerge from Hollywood, Ginger Rogers!

Beautiful music Dangerous rhythm It's something daring, The Continental A way of dancing that's really "entre nous" It's very subtle, The Continental Because it does what you want it to do It has a passion, The Continental An invitation to moonlight and romance It's quite the fashion, The Continental Because you tell of your love while you dance Your lips whisper so tenderly Her eyes answer your song Two bodies swaying, The Continental And you are saying just what you're dreaming of So keep on dancing, The Continental For it's a song of romance and of love You kiss while you're dancing Not a bad idea The Continental, hm, it's continental You sing while you're dancing Your voice is gentle and sentimental You stroll together arm in arm You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm You will find while you're dancing That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do The Continental all the time

Long live to Fred and Ginger, I love them!

The very first winner of the Best Original Song Oscar.

I agree 👍 💯 I can watch these two ALL DAY IF I WANTED TO, I NEVER GET TIRED OF THESE TWO ♥️ 🎼🎵🦋🎶

Simply exquisite.

Ginger got that knock out look

Fred & Ginger!! Lovely couple! I miss them! 😢Unforgettable!! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil 🇧🇷 💘💋💋❤️🎼🕺💃🎼🥂🍾😘

As mentioned it was 1934 and the first oscar winning song.

They did about ten movies together and they were all memorable. He did only three, I think, with Rita Hayworth, but Fred said she was his favorite dance partner. Ginger was an excellent technician. Rita knew the steps but she danced with exuberant passion.

The first 'Best Original Song' winner.

I used to listen to this in 2002 commonwealth games before training for therapy

Also great from this 1934 film is Night and Day also with Fred and Ginger dancing. It's on KZfaq.

this is cute! Fred is not the pattern handsome type but omg he is so charismatic and adorable, such a dear, charm and elegance. I would fall for him easily!

I didn’t realise how pretty Ginger was. I only saw her when she was old.

Как же я люблю смотреть их танцевальные номера!

Luego de verlos, mágicos, fantásticos, pareciera que todo lo anteriormente visto, fuera solo un error.

I just checked on birthdays, Fred was born in 1899 and Ginger in 1911, so he was 40 at the time of this film and she was 28, not such a big difference ... and wow could they dance ☺

"Find that rhythm, in your heart & soul.. that you can't control.. that you must sing... that you must dance to... together, through and true." "Ginger, not just the girl you want next door, but next to you, on the dance floor." "Clear the floor.. for an expression -- like no two before." ~ PJung

ive come back to watch this scene so many times i couldn’t even tell you- one of my fav movies they did together

I loved the Carol Burnett spoof with Ken Berry

they do not make them like this now,,, what a mover she was,,,, and in heels....

My mother’s mother used to refer to my dad as “the continental” in the 50s

ミミが可愛くてそのミミを追いかける一途な所が好き❤

Your wife is safe with Tonetti..he prefers-a spaghetti

Ginger Rogers is so beautiful😍

Lovely. Thanks.

These people are so appealing that it's out of this world.

Heads up: crucial information about refunds

The way he looks at her God damn

Love love love!

Surprised to hear Ginger sing , quiet a good voice . I'm sure i saw a longer version of this where Fred sings and then they go into a dance routine .

Stupenda coppia❤

Love these two, Ginger more though. Their films didn't need great imagination but they were entertaining, fun and nice escapism which is what it's all about.

Pure class

ah, love it! thanks for uploading !

You bang your head while you're dancing, it's heavy metal, it's heavy metal lol.

*LYRICS* Beautiful music Dangerous rhythm It's something daring, The Continental, A way of dancing that's really 'entre nous'. It's very subtle, The Continental, Because it does what you want it to do. It has a passion, The Continental, An invitation to moonlight and romance. It's quite the fashion, The Continental, Because you tell of your love while you dance. Your lips whisper so tenderly. Her eyes answer your song. Two bodies swaying, The Continental, And you are saying just what you're dreaming of. So keep on dancing, The Continental, For it's a song of romance and of love. You kiss while you're dancing. Not a bad idea. The Continental, hmmmmm. It's continental. You sing while you're dancing. Your voice is gentle and sentimental. You stroll together arm in arm. You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm. You will find while you're dancing That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul, A certain rhythm that you can't control, And you will do The Continental all the time.

It's a glorious film from 1934 not '39.

This film is from 1934 not 1939

So... what did you say it was? Ah, yes! The Continental.

This movie is from 1934.

Ginger et Fred et la lumière fut!

It’s easy to be smitten by Ginger Rogers, Joan Leslie or Jean Harlow. I was born too late.

Time after Time

And GAY had, and still does, it's ORIGINAL MEANING - and that is CAREFREE! (nothing to do with homosexuality!)

I think it was 1934, but it's still nice! :)

Aahhh...

Amo isso

What happened to the rest of the number? The entire dance number is almost 20 minutes long.

Does anyone know what year this film was released? J/K 😜 I know, 1934. I love this song! I chose you cause my daughter's name is Emma Robinson 😁

MI PREFERIDO Y DE MI ABUELA

They are ok

Europe is the best!!!

I have NEVER understood why it is called, "The Continental". That word means over many continents or "free". I do not see how that implies kissing while dancing. Anyone?

Marilyn Monroe copied expressions of Ginger and used to tack Gingers' magazine pictures up on her bedroom walls, when she was a teenager.

*1934 :)

Obvioualy not the whole thing. What a shame!

I think ginger look alike xtina aguilera....

To see this and then to see what passes for entertainment/culture today coming out of hollywierd well we are doomed. Sodom and Gomorrah

It was 1934 and not 1939.

The original scene runs over 16 minutes, not 2:29 minutes; you're only showing a small fragment. And The Gay Divorcee was filmed in 1934, not 1939. Your presentation and documentation is a mess!

She was beutifull..sexy eyes ❤

This wasn't made in '39

MIT pop up
