Shall We Dance

1937, NR, 116 min. Directed by Mark Sandrich. Starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edward Everett Horton.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Aug. 26, 1999

One of the finest Astaire-Rogers pairings, Shall We Dance also features a swell Gershwin score that includes such songs as "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," and "They Can't Take That Away From Me."
