Product Description

From Amazon.com

The chemistry between Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was still going strong in their seventh spin around the dance floor, Shall We Dance? And this time--amidst the usual improbable plot confusions and on-again, off-again flirting between the two--they were backed up by a song score provided by the matchless George and Ira Gershwin. Among the highlights are "They All Laughed," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," and the Oscar-nominated "They Can't Take That Away from Me." Director Mark Sandrich, the most frequent helmer of the Astaire-Rogers pictures (including Top Hat), creates a gleaming showcase for his stars. He also brings back two devilish character actors, Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore, to repeat their support from previous outings. Ginger is kicky and fun; she was one of the few partners who didn't look intimidated onscreen by Astaire's incomparable dancing skills. Fred is in great form himself--so good you almost believe it when he pretends to be a Russian. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars Fred & Ginger Meets the Gershwin Brothers, Mar 12 2004

CEF "cecf71" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shall We Dance (VHS Tape)

Great Music and Great Dancing! The storyline is funny and entertaining, one of the finest Astaire/Rogers Films. The highlight of the film is the dance number with the rollerskates!

4.0 out of 5 stars Featuring Songs By George and Ira Gershwin, Aug 5 2003

Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shall We Dance (VHS Tape)

The emphasis in SHALL WE DANCE? is even more than usual on the dancing of Fred Astair and GINGER Rogers. The movie includes six songs by George and Ira Gershwin and is based on a story by Lee Loeb and Harold Buchman. Much humor is provided by Edward Everett Horton and Eric Biore.

The film received an Oscar nomination in 1937 for Best Song ("They Can't Take That Away from Me")

Mark Sandrich also directed THE GAY DIVORCEE.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite of All the Fred and Ginger's, July 7 2003

S. L. Leuchs "stacemay1" (Glendale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shall We Dance (VHS Tape)

"Shall We Dance" is perhaps the finest example of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers partnership. Set to the music of the Gershwin brothers, Ginger is a musical comedy star and Fred is a famous "Russian Ballet Dancer" from Penn. He sees her and falls in love, she doesn't like him, everyone thinks they are married, then they really are - and it keeps getting better.
The dance scenes are elaborate - imagine roller skates and 30 dancers with Ginger's face - and extremely well done. The supporting cast also help to make the movie. Even though the movie is good, it would be nothing without the help of Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton (did I get that right?).
The plot is contemporary, the scenes are funny and everything is totally relatable - not counting the fact that everyone spontaneously bursts into song and dance at least once every 7 minutes.
If you have never seen a Fred and Ginger movie, this is the one you should see either first or last. Get your feet wet with the best or save it for last. Definately don't miss it.
