Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers star in this 1939 biographical musical romance about Vernon and Irene Castle, the pioneering ballroom dancers who captivated audiences in the early twentieth century. Directed by H.C. Potter, the film follows Irene as she encourages Vernon to abandon his vaudeville comedy act and focus on his natural dancing talent. After struggling through lean years, the pair eventually secure representation and ascend to stardom, dazzling Paris with their innovative routines. Their meteoric rise is cut short when World War I erupts, bringing tragedy that forever changes their lives and careers.

This is a single-disc DVD release from RKO Radio Pictures with a runtime of 93 minutes and a US Approved rating. The film features Astaire and Rogers alongside Edna May Oliver, Douglas Walton, and Clarence Derwent, with a screenplay by Dorothy Yost, Irene Castle, and Oscar Hammerstein II. Owning this used copy lets you experience the dancing magic of Hollywood’s greatest team without the new price tag.
