Top Hat
Set in Britain, the film is a fascinating love story about an American dancer and a model. At the first encounter, the man thinks that the model is too annoyed because she mistakens him for her doofy producer. What makes them become a couple afer that ?

If you want only one Astaire-Rogers musical, Top Hat is obligatory.

This one can't miss and the reasons are three -- Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin's 11 songs and sufficient comedy between numbers to hold the film together.

The plot is involving, especially as it builds to its seemingly impossible-to-solve finale.

The fourth pairing of Astaire-Rogers is one of their best and RKO top grosser of the year.

Most of what I liked about Top Hat centers around its two stars: full of energy and grace, they breathe life into the film whenever it threatens to lose its luster.

Finally, thanks more to Fred Astaire than any other single influence, the character of musicomedy in the cinema has now completely changed.

This 1935 musical finds Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers at the top of their form.

Arguably the classiest and funniest of the RKO Astaire-Rogers musicals.

...even after seventy years, the same elements delight us all over again. Good songs, good dancing, and good stars never go out of style.

Because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.

Top Hat does not glorify wealth or upper class status - if anything it continually pokes fun at it.

The third Astaire-Rogers movie and one of the best.
