Review of The Gay Divorcee (1934) by Jack W — 21 Dec 2010
Watching Astaire and Rogers is almost dreamlike. It is amazing seeing two people move like they do, completely a team but each a phenomenal dancer on their own. This film doesn't have an inordinate amount of routines by the two, but the sequence for The Continental was magical to watch.
Not only those two but the entire staging and choreography for that sequence, though not on a Berkely type level was still mesmerizing to watch. It is also rather cool seeing something in an older film that you can place in something contemporary.
The lothario Conetti is the Italian guy from Eurotrip. And he does an amazing job. The story is rather simple but some of the dialogue is sharp and witty. Just an elegant film to watch.
