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

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.

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!

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.

@@user-mx2uc9ue3tHi. I believe he said it in an interview later in his life. Ginger was a splendid dancer, technically near perfect, but she lacked passion. Rita was overflowing with passion and playfulness. I believe Fred loved this about her. At times she was bordering on wildness.

She wasn't just great at dancing, singing, comedy, romance, drama - she's right at the very top in all of them. There's been better singers and a few - a very few - better actors but nobody has ever had the whole package like Ginger Rogers. Judy Garland comes closest in the musical genre, with that divine voice, but she was never in Rogers' class as an actress or a dancer. Ginger is the greatest talent Hollywood has ever produced.
