Review of Shall We Dance (1937) by Chris M — 05 Jan 2013
Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical has a ballet dancer (Astaire) in a fake romance with a musical comedy star (Rogers) for the sake of publicity. But pretty soon and to the surprise of no one, this fake romance eventually becomes real.
Shall We Dance has a few amusing moments including a musical number with Astaire and Rogers dancing on roller skates, but as Debbie Reynolds once said in Singin' in the Rain, "If you've seen one, you've seen them all".
In other words, if you've already seen Top Hat or Swing Time, there is no real need to see Shall We Dance since its story and characters are basically derivative of elements from their past two pictures.
