Movie Song of the Week: "Shall We Dance?"

I'm kinda surprised I haven't posted this yet. It's such a classic musical number that I was sure I already posted it a long time ago. But apparently I didn't.

Nowadays, it seems even more apt than usual. Poor Fred Astaire pursuing a masked Ginger Rogers -- on a stage where every woman wears a mask -- and being socially distanced, to boot. Oh my!

And of course, the lyrics have a nice Dylan Thomas-ish subtext, which is a neat trick considering the fact the song was written at least a decade or so before Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night".
