Shall We Dance

Shall We Dance (1937) starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers. American Pete Peters (Astaire), who goes by the ballet stage name of Petrov, falls in love with jazz dancer Linda Keene (Rogers) during a trans-Atlantic crossing. Naturally, Peters and Keene end up dancing with each other, and even go so far as to get married. The music for this movie is by George and Ira Gershwin, and there are some standards here, including "They Can't Take That Away from Me." Overall, this film is lightweight piffle, but it's good quality piffle. Subtitles in English are available on the disc, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
