- Abstract
- This last teaming of Astaire and Rogers playing the roles of a husband-and-wife dancing team includes such memorable musical numbers as "Swing Trot" which brilliantly recreates the Astaire-Rogers partnership of the 1930s; "Bouncin' the Blues" "My One and Only Highland Fling" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me." In "Shoes with Wings On" Astaire tap dances with dozens of empty shoes.
