Barkleys Of Broadway, The
After 10 years apart, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers re-team in their final film pairing, cleverly written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and smoothly directed by Charles Walters. The story, per many sources, mirrors real-life creative tensions the two shared. Astaire plays driven hoofer Josh Barkley. Rogers is his wife, Dinah, who longs to forsake the clackety-clap-tapping of Bouncin' the Blues for stage drama. She parts, Josh vies to win her back, and the routines leading to a happy resolution include Fred's Shoes with Wings On and a rhapsodic reprise of a George and Ira Gershwin number from Shall We Dance: They Can't Take That Away from Me. All of which proves they can't take away the Astaire/Rogers magic either.
