Miss Rogers, facing the music - Ginger Rogers (and Fred Astaire), publicity for "Follow the Fleet", 1936

 

"Let's Face the Music and Dance", music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Gown by Bernard Newman. Set design by Carroll Clark under the direction of Van Nest Polglase.

The smiles are additional proof that these were staged images; there was decidedly no smiling in the sublimely poignant "Let's Face the Music and Dance."

The final eleven images are screen shots from the actual film.

    Is it possible for these beautiful photos, not to be blurry

      Blurry? I don't know what you mean. The posed images are very sharp. Even the screen shots are quite so, considering the source.

    These are outstanding. Such clarity. Glorious! It is my favourite Fred and Ginger dance. I’d say it’s perfect. Thank you for work
