Synopsis

TCM Greatest Classic Films: Astaire and Rogers includes the following films:

The Gay Divorcee (1934)
Oscar–winner The Continental revels in precision–dance joy, Cole Porter's "Night and Day" sways with timeless grace, and Fredand Ginger's first top billing sets the tone for more film hits to come.

Shall We Dance (1937)
A George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin score has Astaire tapping to "Slap That Bass" rhythms of a ship's engine room and the duo's "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" skate routine. Pure bliss!

Swing Time (1936)
One of the team's greatest! The Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields score goes from jubilant ("Pick Yourself Up", "Bojangles of Harlem") to sublime (the Oscar–winning "The Way You Look Tonight", "A Fine Romance").

Top Hat (1935)
The pair's best–remembered film features Astaire's signature top hat, white tie and tails, the incomparably romantic "Cheek to Cheek" and more in Irving Berlin's tip–top score.
