I used to want to dance with her, until I read her book and the way she denigrated Astair.

[@joserodriguezrodriguez1906]

Go to the mall. I'm sure they have a DVD department

[@SaraMKay]

We have 'Rakuten' (app for smart TV) that has a lots of classical movies for streaming Or, sometimes it's on TV (Samsung TV or classic movies channel on cable TV (with replay option so that you can pick))

I agree, it's a cultural tragedy that these films aren't more available.

It was a nightmare to dance in. Bits were flying all over the place according to Ginger 😂

[@keithwebb658]

The dress is perfection, and for me, Ginger and that dress steal the show. Must be the most iconic dance sequence of all time.

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

So classy and beautiful. This is way before my time. I was born in 1983. We need classy music and dancing like this again

[@athena3865]

My late dad was 9 years old when this movie debuted. Later, he was a dance instructor for ballroom dancing and after that, he was a trumpet player in his own Big Band Orchestra. In all the decades I've been around, none were as graceful as this.

[@mr.freeze3889]

I was a teen in 1983 and miraculously amidst the New Wave trash this song got airplay thanks to Taco's cover. This and Just A Gigolo by David Lee Roth got me hooked to REALLY old music 😊.

[@Rzr543]

I can't explain it but watching this makes me tear up and smile.

[@kimscioloro]

I understand....this was my Gramma's fav film. She raised me and has been gone 20 years now so it sort of kills me to watch it but I must....bittersweet.

[@cairparavel11stevens82]

It’s because wholesome movies and music is no longer being produced.

[@MEANLILSHT]

Alot of it, is we wish we could have had something like this.

[@michelinstarschallenger8626]

My kid is just one year old. He loves the song. As a treat for his birthday (no tv/screen policy) we watch the scene together. He was mesmerized … in heaven…

I am speechless. Just speechless. Such beauty, such grace... Is there really a time when America was decent? When average Americans were going to the movies to watch this ? Instead of insulting one another? What happened?

I love this scene with all it's elegance. Apparently the powers that be didn't want Ginger Rogers to wear that dress because it was shedding feathers all over the floor but she insisted and thank goodness she did. However, if you look closely, you'll see the feathers on the floor fluttering as they dance by..

[@johnblake4589]

Whilst I love these old movies; they're simple, and beautiful. I do think that some context is needed. This is a fictional, and idolized depiction of how 0.001% of the population would have lived. The majority of people were a level of poor we would struggle to imagine. Infant mortality, and sickness were major issues even in the richest of countries. Also, 1935, in four years the worst war the world has ever known was about to kick off, it was a very bad time to be a Jew in Europe... Segregation was still a thing. You can forget about gay rights, etc. Women, whilst they were beginning to gain some equality, and recognition, were still very much second class citizens in many respects (equal pay, and opportunities, weren't really a thing). So yes, whilst there's a lot wrong with our current world/time, let's not go imagining that the past was all roses.
