Top Hat

This is a much loved 1935 American screwball comedy film in which the legendary Fred Astaire plays an American tap dancer named Jerry Travers who arrives in London to star in a show. He meets and attempts to impress Dale Tremont (Ginger Rogers) to win her affection. Songs by Irving Berlin, “Top Hat, White Tie and Tails”, and “Cheek to Cheek” have become American song classics. “Top Hat” was the most successful picture of Astaire & Rogers’ partnership.

Dir: Mark Sandrich: USA 1935 (101 mins)
