Trailer of the Week: Roberta (1935)

What can I say? Astaire and Rogers may not be as popular nowadays as Carrell and Fey but I happen to think they're still pretty watchable.

Movie Quote of the Week

You do not understand. These Latin races must be shouted at.
--Ginger Rogers, Roberta (1935)

Movie Song of the Month: “I Won't Dance”

That Fred Astaire always was a tease, wasn't he? After all, what red-blooded male in his right mind wouldn't want to dance with Ginger Rogers?

Of course, one doesn't necessarily need to see Roberta (the 1935 movie this clip was taken from) to know that sooner or later Astaire was going to start dancing anyway. And you'll be pleased to know that eventually he did dance with Ginger in this movie as well. But not in this number, unfortunately.

But, hey, the song is still fun to watch. And not just because of Ginger...

Besides, I felt the need to post something cheery this week in light of recent events that were not so cheery. Enjoy.
