Movie #66 "Roberta" has Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers as secondary people? Who cares about the love affair between the leads Irene Dunne and the guy? I had never seen this before, just numbers, and boy did I miss some good tapping. This movie has probably the best expressive tap dance on film...........they actually talk to each other using tap steps and it was hysterical to watch. So I guess what I'm saying is do yourself a service and rent this sometime (or catch it on TCM, like I did) and fast forward through the main story and see the Astaire/Rogers bits and you'll get your money/time's worth.

Roberta
(1935) NR
Parisian couturier and deposed Russian princess Stephanie (Irene Dunne) has her hands full when her partner dies, leaving half of their business to American football player John Kent (Randolph Scott). Kent knows nothing about fashion, but sparks fly as the two try to learn to run a company together. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers supply some fantastic dance numbers to standards including "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "I'll Be Hard to Handle."
