The Gay Divorcee
The Gay Divorcee

About

Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers After supporting roles in Flying Down to Rio sent their movie careers soaring, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers starred for the first time in this delightful escapade about marriage, divorce and all the romantic comedy complications in between. The Gay Divorcee set the style, tone and behind-the-camera talents for Astaire/Rogers classics to come and captured five Acadamy Award® nominations, including Best Picture. Musical highlights here include the 17 minute marvel The Continental (the first Oscar® winner for Best Song) and Cole Porter's haunting Night and Day. Indeed, "if Astaire and Rogers had never danced a lick after Night and Day, they still would have been screen immortals" (The Movie Guide).
