Broadway Melody of 1940

Description: Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, cool ice cream tap.

This is one of those movies where you just fall into a reverie. Two consummate professionals obviously doing what they love to do. Rap tap, tap.

Like so many of the musicals of the period, the plot is thin on the ground. But when they start to dance that just doesn't matter. And when they Begin the Beguine, it's like starlight. The black floor reflecting gleams of light and Fred and Eleanor, both in white, shining against the darkness. Seeming to fly in space. Cool and smiling and tapping.

A light hearted relaxation of a movie.
