cheek to cheek

Following on yesterday's good fun, I decided to pop in a DVD of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers' film Top Hat.  It seems as if I had seen it before, many ages ago, but I don't quite remember it as it really was that long ago and much younger then.  But watching it was really thrilling, lots and lots of fun, and there was a familiarity with the film and the movements- and it wasn't only because it all started by wanting to see Fred Astaire dance gracefully in black coat and tails. No, it was Hollywood when it was really Hollywood, all glitz and glamor.  And the songs were more than wonderful to the accompaniment of Astaire's singing and the duo's dancing.

Really, it made me want to dance the night away.  Brilliant stuff.
