About

Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers headline Swing Time, the romantic spirit-lifter buoyed by a sublime Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields score, nimble direction by Acadamy Award® winner George Stevens and the leads' effortless (after 350 hours of rehearsing!) dancing. The blithe Pick Yourself Up, the Oscar®-winning The Way You Look Tonight, the undeinably moving Never Gonna Dance ode to love and loss, Fred's Bojangles of Harlem tap tribute - they stand out among the standouts in a film widely acknowledged as one of the team's very best.

Plot Summary

Lucky is tricked into missing his wedding to Margaret by the other members of Pop's magic and dance act, and has to make $25,000 to be allowed to marry her. He and Pop go to New York where they run into Penny, a dancing instructor. She and Lucky form a successful dance partnership, but romance is blighted (till the end of the film at least!) by his old attachment to Margaret and hers for Ricardo, the band leader who won't play for them to dance together.
