The chemistry between Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was still going strong in their seventh spin around the dance floor, Shall We Dance? And this time--amidst the usual improbable plot confusions and on-again, off-again flirting between the two--they were backed up by a song score provided by the matchless George and Ira Gershwin. Among the highlights are 'They All Laughed,' 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off,' and the Oscar-nominated 'They Can't Take That Away from Me.' Director Mark Sandrich, the most frequent helmer of the Astaire-Rogers pictures (including Top Hat), creates a gleaming showcase for his stars. He also brings back two devilish character actors, Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore, to repeat their support from previous outings. Ginger is kicky and fun; she was one of the few partners who didn't look intimidated onscreen by Astaire's incomparable dancing skills. Fred is in great form himself--so good you almost believe it when he pretends to be a Russian. --Robert Horton

By the time of "Shall We Dance", the 7th outing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Rogers had become a star in her own right. The Gershwins wrote a great score which sustains the film but there is a sense of deja vu about the script and the supporting players which was reflected in the box office at the time. After the classy peak of "Swingtime", "Shall We Dance" was the inevitable anti-climax. Also, there is less dancing which might have been simply because of Roger's availability.

If I were the brutal dictator of my very own totalitarian state, I would force my loyal subjects to watch Shall We Dance every night of their lives. And my subjects would fall in love with me, having been given such tender treatment by their enlightened ruler. yes, they would come to see that, harsh as my methods can be at times, they are never without their heavenly logic. My subjects, thus edified, would be a happy population indeed! The watchmaker would whistle "They All Laughed" whilst tending ... Read More

"Shall We Dance," (1937), another musical-comedy-romance, was the seventh collaboration Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made for RKO Radio Pictures. It reunites most of the old gang, before and behind the camera, but it's easy to see inspiration is wearing thin: after this picture, Astaire went to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Rogers pursued her ambition to do drama. Still, it's got a lot going for it: most importantly, it was the first, and only George and Ira Gershwin score for the Astaire-Rogers ... Read More

Seventh Astaire-Rogers outing finds the formula still fresh, aided by a tip-top Gershwin score (including "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"), and the return of series veterans Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore, who, as always, supply delightful support. And just behold that dance on roller-skates!

With Fred and Ginger joined by George and Ira... This is their best picture together.
We begin in Paris, where Fred is Petrov the "Russian" ballet dancer who is really Peter P Peters of Philadelphia PA. Ginger is Laura Keen, American musical dancing star. They meet because Fred has seen her picture and fallen in love with her. He calls but at that moment Ginger has had her fill of adoring male fans and it doesn't help matters that Pete puts on a fake Russian accent "("I must go to Moscow...") ... Read More
