Shall We Dance
1.21.2009
Rated: Not Rated
Movie Release Date: May 7, 1937
DVD Release Date: August 16, 2005
Plot 411: The lives of two dancers get turned upside down when the press begins to circulate rumors that they are married.
Review: I'm a sucker for dance movies no matter how long ago they were made. Throw in a little singing and I'm in heaven. This movie served up both with great enthusiasm. Somehow you just can't beat the Golden Era of movie making. I do believe this was the first Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers film I ever watched. I've seen a bunch of Gene Kelly films though and I think I like his dance style better. Despite that, this was a fun movie to watch. There is humor throughout and the convoluted relationship that Astaire and Rodgers have make for some hysterical scenes.
Watch It: If you're not afraid of being called "twinkle toes."
Skip It: If you think all male dancers are gay.

I'm pretty sure it's in my Netflix queue. I'll try to bump it up and watch it. Letcha know what I think once I'm done. :)
