My Favorite Fred Astaire Dance Numbers
Poppity Talks Classic Film is hosting/hosted a fun blogathon featuring actors born in 1899. So for this (late) post I thought I would list my favorite dance numbers featuring Fred Astaire. This list is in no particular order; and because this list could go on for awhile I'm just going to list my top ten. 1. "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" From the movie Top Hat (1935) this is a really fun number. You can watch it here: "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" 2. " Waltz" One of the saddest Fred Astaire movies; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers perform this lovely waltz in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939) You can watch it here: "Waltz" 3. " I'm Old Fashioned" I love this dance Fred and Rita Hayworth perform in You Were Never Lovelier (1942). You can watch it here: "I'm Old Fashioned" 4. " Pick Yourself Up" In Swing Time (1936), Fred and Ginger perform one of my favorite of their dances together
