Fred was so elegant, so sauve, so classy and no one wore a tux like he did. The chemistry between Fred and Ginger was the BEST EVER!

You're right. Just onesmalladjustment. He didn`t wear a tux. He wore tails. Tails are the most formal thing a man can wear (even more formal than a tux) and are practically never worn today, which makes it even more of a treat to see him dance them.

In case you’re interested, Fred Astaire is wearing a highly buffed silk top hat and the rest of the guys are wearing matte opera hats. If you were to find a top hat like Fred’s today, you’d have a small fortune on your hands, as, since silk plush can’t be made anymore and subsequently silk hats are also no-longer made, the quality vintage ones are now very rare and sought after! Also, you’re supposed to wear silk top hats, or toppers, straight across. Fred wearing his at an angle sends the message that he’s being a bit jaunty. 😅

That is a really cool factoid! After you pointed it out it is quite noticeable.

1935, isn't it amazing that this is a world that has never yet known Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles not even Judy Garland singing Over The Rainbow as this would happen in 1939. So much culture coming ahead of them that they have no idea about. In 1935 the world only knew about one world war! And in that small slice of time there was Fred Astaire at the top of his game.

Astounding performance by the fabulous Fred Astaire! The choreography is brilliant. All of the men, in synchronized rhythm. Love it! My thanks for posting! Say, is anyone else's favourite part when the men are lined up and Fred aims his cane at them, while moving and tapping his feet to make it sound like a sub-machine gun?!😁

I just got an invitation through the mails: "Your presence requested this evening, It's formal, a top hat, a white tie and tails." Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails. Because I'm invited to step out this evening With top hat and white tie and tails. I'm puttin' on my top hat, Tyin' up my white tie, Brushin' off my tails. I'm dudin' up my shirt front, Puttin' in the shirt studs, Polishin' my nails, I'm steppin' out, my dear, To breathe an atmosphere That simply reeks with class; And I trust that you'll excuse my dust When I step on the gas, For I'll be there, Puttin' down my top hat, Mussin' up my white tie, Dancin' in my tails.
