I just want to wish you good luck... and all that. And all what? What ever you want. FRED ASTAIRE and GINGER ROGERS in SWING TIME (1936)

No one is more ingenious than the poor, wherever you find them. When you are poor every stage has to be thought through. Wealth is the opposite. With wealth you get to be thoughtless.

George Stevens directed what I think is the best of the Astaire-Rogers pictures and it hit a limited number of U.S. theaters today in 1936. It’s SWING TIME! #OnThisDay

There are far too few colour promotional stills of these two out there.

And so it goes You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars And why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words

One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
Swing Time / Ginger Rogers as Penny Carroll
This is definitely an unexpected wedding outfit! I'd love to know the colors of the individual items. The jacket is made of some shiny material, with a flared skirt, princess seams, and slight leg-of-mutton sleeves. Over this, she wears a fur with attached fresh flowers. The gloves are dark, but not as dark as the skirt, hat, and clutch purse. She does have a veil, but it's just dark netting attached to a round hat with a bow on top.
Another interesting feature of the jacket is the long row of small buttons down the front. I have started calling these "1936 buttons," as I've noticed them on dresses in other movies that came out that year. Ginger has a similar row of buttons on another of her dresses from the same movie, for the number "Waltz in Swing Time" (see below). You can also see them on Jean Harlow in Libeled Lady.
