Roberta

Damn! Just watched Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers in "Roberta"(1935). Every now and then, one should watch one of these old flicks just to see what we've lost and how cool some of those people really were. Ginger Rodgers should make any male still above ground stand up and take notice. Jeez, the woman is absolutely amazing. And she keeps all her clothes on...and still is smoking. The flick has a couple great songs..."I Won't Dance" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" which are also worth the price of admission alone.

"Roberta" also showed some things our culture has lost, and some things that are the same now as they were 70+ years ago. Plus ca change, plus la meme chose...I think that is how it goes...Anyhow, it is worth the time and effort to watch if only to watch Rodgers and Astaire dance and to listen to the old songs.
