Cole Porter´s Day and Night by Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers

[@rossharmonics]

I find myself watching the old films more and more and the new ones less and less. They have a lot to teach us.

[@horsluva0758]

me too and not only a lot to teach us, but there was class, modesty etc that is gone in today's society ...too sad :(

[@googlefan7409]

rossharmonics used to be a modern movie lover but after Fred and Ginger , I'm only a 30s and musical lover

[@barbaramcelhiney5934]

Amen😊

[@garywest8705]

When music was enjoyable to hear with talents singers and actors.

[@barbaramcelhiney5934]

Yes that most of us just want to live our lives in love and freedom.

[@slownoman]

Cole Porter was one of the best song writers who ever lived. Ever.

[@pamela930]

Stunning. Fred and Ginger and a favorite Cole Porter song. Love it. ❤️ Wish we had more of this in today's world.

[@donmigueldecuenca]

This scene is the most exquisite, perfect dance scene in all of film, set to one of the greatest songs by an American composer. I have treasured it for almost 60 years, since I first saw it as a child on TV.

[@markberryhill2715]

That was the holy trifecta of music, song, and dance. This should be mandatory watching for music class.

[@Rtmax45]

It's not just the fact that Ginger was beautiful, it's the fact that she was talented. A triple threat-dance, sing and act. And as far as Fred Astaire-a legend and one of a kind that can't be replaced

[@joeherald7319]

These two are a little before my time but thanks to KZbin I've been able to watch them. I don't know what it is but, when I watch these I feel a calm sweep over me. So much today seems crude and crass and the daily news is just kick in the gut after another. I know that life was tough in the 30's and I think the make believe beauty of this was one thing that helped those folks cope. Just like it does for me today.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

The core of the calm is the notion, which they amply demonstrate, that human beings can master their fates through persistence and skill.

[@melvinfields3078]

We live in a time of spiritual, moral and artistic decay. A collapsing Republic.

[@edepirescardosomaaa0175]

Tbm adorava assistír os filmes deles..... ficava assistindo até de madrugada sozinha .... gene Kelly Elvis Presley ... era muito lindo

[@wchumphries]

Cole Porter, Fred Astaire, & Ginger Rogers...who could ask for anything more.

[@weswolever7477]

Works for me.

[@horsluva0758]

no one :)

[@cards0486]

wchumphries Nothing is more perfect than Fred, Ginger and a Cole Porter song.

wow! now that was class at its finest,,, Fred, and ginger had class, style, sexiness, radiance uniqueness,such as no other act could ever have,,,,night and day,,,,

[@richardscally694]

What a magnificent Era that was.

[@chanceibmny]

Fred Astaire might be able to dance on water, but watching Ginger Rogers dance, I keep waiting for her to float away she's so graceful. If only we had some way to bring back these kinds of movies and get rid of what we have now...

[@crcanassr]

I used to watch Fred and Ginger films on TV when I was growing up in the 50th's. They were already oldies then. My Mom and Dad, having grown up in the 30th's, loved all these movies and it was a treat to watch the Saturday night TV program that featured all of them. Mom used to love Glen Miller and used to play the same LP over and over featuring his music. This was in El Salvador, Central America.

[@karimalhassani3830]

Fred was Irvine Berlin's favourite singer because although his voice wasn't terrific he established each of these great songs as standards. His timing is immaculate.

[@richardgornalle4536]

Never get sick watching these two. Timeless.

[@Sarasguy]

Two people at the top of their game and showing us what real talent is. They are awe-inspiring.

[@poetcomic1]

When she tries to get away the second time and he pulls her into his dancing embrace - I die from the gorgeousness of it.

[@paulfrith1815]

A classy lady a gentleman with all the moves a classic film never be forgotten

[@lennycohenfan]

The most beautiful and sensuous dance in movie history. Thank you.

[@dukemd69]

THIS....... is Dancing with the Stars.......so romantic an era. Thanks for these memories.

[@marucasar5805]

YES SIR******

[@Lorenesque]

I am so grateful to TCM and KZbin for making these wonderful early films from the 1920s and 1930s available for all of us to see. These films are my favorite over anything after 1940 with the exception of the works of a small handfull of directors, such as Anthony Minghella, David O. Russell, and David Lean.

[@AvetissovGeorge]

un vrai chef d'oeuvre !

[@CaseyLR16]

Nothing in the history of cinema compares, at least in my mind, to the grace, beauty and charm these two produced as a duo. I'll take any movie from the Golden Age of Cinema and watch it over anything made recently. God bless these two!

[@meaghan15]

I love how Astaire sings this. And, of course, the dance is fantastic!

[@nicolettapasquini6614]

Film bellissimo e divertente con una coppia indimenticabile me lo guardo sempre in DVD ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sjoes]

The best entertainer and even more brilliant with Rogers. The man sang like he danced and his dancing was flawless.

[@emiliagiovinazzi]

Che gradevole eleganza di altri tempi. Bellissimi. La facilità con cui si muovono è spettacolare. Ciao altri tempi 👏👋

[@patricialabbe1416]

They don't write 'em like that anymore. Beautiful poetry and smooth and romantic dancing. 🎶💜

[@amyfisher6380]

What a fantastic song this is. My parents liked to sing this to each other around the house when they were feeling playful. 😊

[@BLUEBELL258]

Love the music of Cole Porter, love Fred and Ginger. Just magical. Ginger looks beautiful. Thank for posting.

[@grayboy432004]

Great dancing and what great music. The lyrics are sooo sophisticated. Shows what a genius Porter was.

[@syncopeter]

This is what love is all about. Attraction, hate, distrust and everything in between. And whether it is sung too fast or not, I don't care. It simply is one of the very best dance scenes ever filmed. Every and I mean every later dancer or lady dancer can only bow to these two. They were, and still are, the very very best. I've never seen a couple that had such almost mental bond as Astaire and Rogers.

[@Elin48]

One of my all time favorite romantic songs.

[@Larsky1010]

Timelessly delightful! Never to be surpassed, or even equalled!

[@roslyndecanio81]

Fred DELIVERED a song with such heart and emotion and of course, his dancing was beyond superb and masterful! Ginger too most wonderful!

[@rozbellantuono3977]

Grace, elegance and class. Beautiful.

[@NinjatasticCookie]

I LOVE Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!! When you're watching them it's hard to take your eyes off them because when you are looking at one, the other takes your eye! Seperately and together.Breathtaking.

[@rossharmonics]

I've loved their films my whole life. Ginger is Astaire's best partner bar none. She matches the total grace of his movements in a way no other partner does, not even Cyd Charisse. Also, Fred and Ginger always tell a story through their dance. It is pure poetry. I'm ordering their DVDs since none of the full films are on youtube. Thanks for posting this. One of their greatest routines,

[@horsluva0758]

I totally agree.. my friend gave me all Fred Astaire DVD's for Christmas!!!

[@wms72]

Fred Astaire said he thought Cyd Charisse was his best partner

[@laurelhills8233]

@@wms72 That's one time he was wrong! Ginger Rogers was definitely his best partner.

[@Chip57]

Ms.Charisse may have been Mr. Astaire’s best partner, but on film and through the eyes of this fan I’d have to agree that he and Ms.Rogers are the epitome of grace through movement. Exquisite dancers all!

[@arlenesel]

It is great because Fred and Ginger are feeling the music. He applied perfectionism in every aspect of his performance with delicate refinement. That is why we love this so.

[@astaire8]

FRED AND GINGER - SIMPLY SENSATIONAL.. Thank you.............

[@654zns]

One of the best classic movies ever. We need to have more films like this one.

[@KuueenKumi]

Fred and Ginger, Cyd and Gene. What a great couple of decades we had of amazing dancers. It's too bad the movie musical fell out of favor, I would watch any new movie musical made like they were in a heartbeat

[@kimballwhittington2463]

Movie musicals are still popular as they were back then. The only difference is that now they are in cartoon form.

[@patricemoran7469]

Fred was great with Cyd too.

[@51actual]

Kids...no, we will never see the likes of this again...and it is sad...truly...but we can still enjoy it as long as we want...it was old business when I was a kid....and it stands up. I wish they could have lived forever, Cole Porter, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rodgers...:>

[@VValkyrie]

This is my favorite Cole Porter song. Ginger & Fred provide the perfect visual. Both the lyrics and choreography are very "stimulating".

[@milankuzminac6035]

Wonderful music and dance. Fred and Ginger are amazing artists.

[@sambking]

Real talent, all the way around. Music, dancing, singing.

[@torilllundborn7899]

Many people struggled a lot with pouerty and unemployment...at those times...in those years...just THEN it had to be wonderful for them to see acting and dancing and romance...and such a beauty Hope they had a wonderful dream-nights

[@hollywilliam1010]

Exquisite ... the hairs on my arms prickle and stand up every time I watch this.

[@cristinavargas4137]

una pareja de baile excepcional!!! no me canso de repetir los videos con sus bailes!! Para disfrutar eternamente!!

[@gonzalogarciagabriel7210]

Igualmente....

[@robertmcarthur1642]

It doesn't get any better than this. For those who are dismissive of the sound and the singing, you have to remember that in 1934 movie sound was still in its infancy. It was a wondrous thing to be able to hear anyone sing in a movie, not that Fred was that bad. Also, this was years before the advent of the electronically reorganized, over produced music that is prevalent today. The sound of Gay Divorcee is real. It is authentic. As far as the dancing goes, no one, and I mean no one, has surpassed Fred and Ginger. Superb!

[@heartofagreengirl]

I totally agree, Fred was the one who made them both practice so hard to make each dance perfect. He's amazing.

[@hollywilliam1010]

Don't know how many times I've seen this but the hairs on my arms still stand up and tingle when they really start dancing halfway in the clip ... . Fabulous x

[@HoracioLaresdivito]

1:44 viendo los bailes que juntaron uds.bajo el tema maquing love,me dan la impresión que entre Fred y ginger Rogers uno algo más que baile,❤no?😂❤😂😊😊😊😊

[@shipnerd62962]

@erniemanguy I remember reading once that when Fred was just starting out, one of the comments from an early audition he went to was "Can't sing, can't act. Can dance a little." Priceless! :)

[@JAfan3993]

Ginger just seems to absolutely melt into Fred when they're dancing! Aboslutely romantic and beautiful!

[@garyseraydarian461]

Greatest dancer of all time...Fred Astaire..........timing is perfect

Incredible music, singing and dance. I love watching Fred. He was a wonderful performer.

[@suremate]

This is my favourite Porter song and the only version of it I want to hear.

[@msknighttime]

I will always love Mr, Astaire. When he passed People magazine had a layout on him. I remember buying it and I still have it. I was a teen then.

[@johnrowley8055]

The perfect dancing couple.never will be repeated

[@jasonpmcneill]

3:32 - That kick she does is so graceful and beautiful.

[@rickos1915]

Elegance and class. Something sadly lacking in today's "entertainment."

[@philpitt4837]

this is for eternity. I grew up with musicals starring Mr. Astaire, Gene Kelly, Easter parade, instead of Sesame street or any other program for kids. Let me tell you this.....I am so grateful that my parents and grand parents gave me this magnificent gift and knowledge. Then came Gregory Hines, may he rest in peace, and the Savion Glovers... thank you for this magnificent music. thank you for your talent. this is unique. Mind you, I also love Tupac, Led Zeppelin, and Mahler. Music is a big part of me. And to start as a kid with Fred Astaire is the best foundation.

[@sandrakenney567]

Night and day beautiful musical .O her tiny waist. Pity they don't make musicals like these anymore. There will never be another Fred for his dancing techniques and Ginger for her elegance 🤗👠👠💫🎩👞👞💫🤗.Godbless them both AMEN

Wonderful! Thanks for the upload...

[@valentinamaggie1253]

Bellissimi!! Due angeli che ballano su note incantate!

[@ruffomaldito]

Incomparable dancing duo. However, I think it´s the only team work where the man overpowers the lady and steals the show. Usually the lady attracts more attention, but Fred´s lightness, agility, perfection and pure elegance simply cannot be missed. He makes look soooooo easy, it hurts. Thanks for the post.

[@azurelotus5452]

Magnifique plus jamais nous aurons des danseurs comme Fred Astaire et Ginger et ses autres partenaires,toujours un immense plaisir de les revoir.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
