Plot:
If you only had one Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers film to watch, this classic musical from 1936 would be your best bet. It was the dance duo's sixth film together, and director George Stevens handled the...( read more

MCT:August 17, 2008It looks absolutely euphoric! And I'm deep into an old movie phase at the moment, so this'll be perfect.

MCT:July 24, 2008The chemistry between Fred and Ginger makes this film, along with the cute story and incredibly dance numbers.

while perhaps not as funny as some Fred & Ginger's other efforts, the added emphasis on romance and choreography is a welcome substitute. their chemistry in this film was just electric, both on the dance floor and off. though not without his charms, I felt Victor Moore was no Edward Everett Horton as Freddy's lovable comic sidekick. the plot wasn't without its inconsistencies, but as I said, the dance and romance more than covered that ground. this and Top Hat are probably my favorite collaborations, tentatively including the ones I haven't seen yet.

I really liked this film. It has one of my favorite song "A Fine Romance" The story is great and the numbers are fantastic.

THE THE DANCE NUMBERS ARE DONE IN ONE FULL LONG TAKE. THAT WHAT MAKES THEM SEEM SO DIFFERENT FROM MOVIES OF TODAY

Never thought I'd be an Astaire/Rogers fan, but I definitely am! Their dancing is genius and oh so entertaining.
-
MCT:January 11, 2008Out of the handful of Astaire/Rogers films I've seen, I think this was the most beautiful. Not only in costumes and sets, but the story itself. I'm not sure if it's my favorite, but that's just how it struck me. There's a fair bit of the cute sort of humor you get with their pairing, but it's a really fantastic love story as well. Obviously the music and the dance numbers are phenomenal as well.

Astaire and Roger's 6th movie together, and considered their best by many. I thought I would watch it because it is on the AFI's 100 greatest movies list. And I did think it was good, with some great tunes and dances--Fred and Ginger together are really magical! Can't judge if it was the best, since I haven't seen very many of their movies all the way through. I would have rated this a little higher if it didn't have such a corny stupid ending. All in all it was good and worth watching but I don't think it belongs on the top 100 movies list.

Probably their best musical dancing and acting wise. They both give magical and mesmerising performances especially during their dance numbers. Never Gonna Dance is wonderfully poignant and in Pick youself up you can just see how much fun they are having and so are we.
Favourite moment when Ginger tries to kiss Fred and then she says in a forced overloud voice "How'd ya like ma dress!" LOL -

A classic dance musical. It had its charm, and although its not my kind of film it did have great chemistry and a few chuckles.

A close second to Top Hat. One of the greatest screen-duos ever filmed; the singing is rich, the dancing impeccable and for the times, (meaning no CGI stand-ins and stunt-dancers and the like,) incredibly well choreographed sequences.
My favorite is the snow scene; Ginger looks gorgeous, and Fred is elegant as ever. -
MCT:August 29, 2007awesome if you like dancing.. i got all the dancing i need in An American in Paris.. altho astaire is by far better dancer, this just got to be ridiculous. cute plot tho. love his dancing buddys screwing him, that was hilarious.

Thoroughly enjoyable - or almost. You get a pass if you nod out during some of the "comic" interludes featuring Victor Moore.

My favorite Astaire/Rogers musical. The "Never Gonna Dance" scene is their most impressive dance they did. Its all done in a one shot and it took dozens of takes.

The magic of Astaire and Rogers was, in my opinion, never more apparent than in Swing Time. If the film had to rely on musical numbers alone, it would still be in my top 10 musicals of all time, but Swing time adds a story that can sweep you off your feet. Fortunately, we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again with this instant classic. (Cheesy much!)

my second favourite fred and ginger movie! this one features great numbers by the one and only duo themselves, including 'a fine romance' and fred's dancing number! classic.
-

One of the best Fred and Ginger films! It is certainly the best when it comes to the music as its got all their best songs in it like 'The Way you look tonight' and 'Never Gonna Dance' - it beats top hat for me! Quite Underrated
-

Very funny and well acted by the brilliant Astaire and Rogers. Also worth every star in my opinion for Astaire singing 'The Way You Look Tonight' or 'Never Gonna Dnace' and their duet of 'What a Fine Romance'.

The best of Fred and Ginger's 10 musicals together, including a fabulous score and great supporting cast - not to mention some pretty spectacular dance numbers. I love "Pick Yourself Up"!

Swing time... Sweet time ! This is a fine romance indeed, as we French say : "la belle romance". Beautiful musical numbers, especially with Fred Astaire as a black, and a magnificent sequence in New Amsterdam. Ginger Rogers looks beautiful, and had I been Lucky Garnett, I would have fell in love with her too.

The best Astaire - Rogers picture (Top Hat runs a close second for me), with the perfect "Pick Yourself Up" number. I mean perfect.
