Top Hat (1935)

Description

Perhaps the best remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, 'Top Hat' has it all: Art Deco elegance, a whimsical storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the ideal chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score. It's a wake-up call to romance when Fred's lively 'No Strings' hotel room dance disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) below. Love beckons - until Ginger gets the wrong idea that Fred is a married playboy. Among the highlights: Fred mows down the chorus line in his signature 'Top Hat', 'White Tie and Tails', the shimmeringly dreamy 'Isn't It a Lovely Day (to Be Caught in the Rain)?' and the tender 'Cheek to Cheek'. Nominated for 4 Academy Awards® including Best Picture, 'Top Hat' is top-flight movie magic.
