Whatever you have heard or read to the contrary, this is the best Rogers/Astaire movie. The music is astounding, the site is painless, and the dances are the best these two ever did — particularly “I’ll Be Hard to Handle,” recorded live so you hear Ginger’s breathless laughter. She was never again as pleasing or as sexy as she is here; her five-second skip-dance to the window to hear Fred’s orchestra is greater than most performers’ entire careers. Endlessly re-seeable and appetizing.
When ROBERTA (the name of a chic fashion designer) was produced, Irene Dunne was the queen of the RKO lot, and the film was built around her. Dunne sang – with her maintain stutter – YESTERDAYS, Delicate TO Sight AT & SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES. Astaire and Rogers dance to Pretty TO Glance AT & I WON’T DANCE; he and Ginger both sang and danced to the high-spirited I’LL BE HARD TO HANDLE. If there are venerable points in the film, they would include the blandness of Scott’s personna and a too-long fashion expose at the finale. Look the splendid blonde model who shows off a very expensive gown with ostrich feathers – it’s 24 year-old Lucille Ball!! The Otto Harbach-Jerome Kern musical ROBERTA caused a sensation on Broadway when it opened in the topple of 1933, due mainly to its animated song SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES. The unique broadway cast included Bob Hope(!), Fred MacMurray and Sydney Greenstreet (!!) ; it enjoyed a 295-performance hurry.
