Lunch With Books: Wheeling Film Society Presents Top Hat

Screening: Top Hat (Mark Sandrich, 1935) - 101 mins.

 

Mar. 31 - Library at Noon

Conversation: Top Hat

 

“Heaven – I’m in heaven, and the cares that hung around me through the week seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak when we’re out together dancing . . .”  So Fred Astaire sings in this most iconic of his 10 collaborations with Ginger Rogers, a mistaken-identity musical comedy with delirious dance numbers.  Maybe even more ecstatic than his ballroom flourishes with Rogers during Irving Berlin’s “Cheek to Cheek” is his duet with his own walking cane.  Nominated for four Oscars including Best Picture, Top Hat was a gift from Hollywood’s fantasia factory during a decade when American (and international) audiences, both of whom attended in record numbers, needed all the fantasy they could get.
