<br />
As you can no doubt see my blog has been sorely neglected since 2015, but Ginger deserves her happy birthdays so here we are!<br />
<br />
Personal opinion perhaps but Ginger Rogers has to be the most versatile actress ever, her acting abilities stretched to just about everything from musicals to film noir, so something for everyone<br />

The song is about that hotel in Belgravia, that it's simply sublime, that it's a smart hotel and one that suits them very well!! Bit of a dance from the bell hops before the scene seams into Bedini coming to buy flowers, which takes us into scene 5...<br />
<br />
The only part that puzzles me is this being an Irving Berlin Musical that this should be an Irving Berlin tune, its not however one i've ever come across, any one know? (Annoyingly it's not on the Top Hat on stage soundtrack)FredandGingerMadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16219608263701805469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692356349579198901.post-67104785585419571872015-07-29T00:39:00.001+01:002015-07-29T00:39:26.278+01:00Top Hat (1935) vs Top Hat on stage Part 3<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top Hat (1935)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">vs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top Hat on stage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Part 3</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hotel Suite</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scene starts off almost identical for both the movie and the stage show, Horace talks about how Bates says that 'a square tie is the only possible tie to be worn with evening clothes' and that he prefers the butter</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">fly, Jerry says he thinks Bates is right to which Horace replies 'Bates is never right' Cue Bate's appearance where he introduces himself to Jerry saying 'We are Bates' Jerry's reply is 'And we are Jerry Travers' Bates asks Jerry if he can make a personal observation, Jerry says ok as long as it's not too personal, it turns out that Bates merely wants to compliment Jerry on his excellent taste in ties!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We find out in this scene that Bates entered Horace's life in very different ways between the movie and in the stage show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the movie Bates was 'found' when Horace sent an old pair of shoes to the Salvation Army, Bates returned wearing them and has been wearing Horace's good ones ever since.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However in the stage show it transpires that Madge 'gave' Bates as a sort of wedding gift and that Bates is a bit of company for him when Madge is away. After this we learn that Horace has got himself into a spot of bother but what it is we don't yet find out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In both the movie and the stage show Horace tells Jerry that Madge is insisting that they fly down to Italy for the weekend, Jerry points out that he has a performance Monday night and can't possibly go, Horace tells Jerry that they must go... A friend is visiting and there is something in the air, Jerry must surely know how wives are, Jerry of course doesn't</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the movie Jerry leads us into 'No Strings' by telling Horace 'In me you see a youth who is completely on the loose, no yens no yearnings, no strings, no connections, no ties to my affections...' and thus into the chorus first, then the verse followed by the chorus again</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However in the stage show Jerry tells us 'No thanks Horace, many a man who has fallen in love with a dimple, makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl' before leading us straight into the verse and then the chorus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In both however Jerry goes in to the tap number fairly quickly, in the film we move to Ginger's room where we see her being woken up, reaching for the phone 'This is Dale Tremont, I would like to speak to the hotel manager, immediately'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On stage as part of the set we see the part where the bar is turn round, above we see the specialist dancer following Jerry's every move and below we see an annoyed Dale being woken up by the noise and thus the telephone call</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Horace is marched to the telephone by Jerry in both and is excited because 'some girl wants to see him' and tells the hotel manager that she can't come up here and that he'll come down himself</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In both the movie and the show Jerry finds an object to dance with, in the film it's a marble(?) statue whilst in the show it's a hat stand (reminiscent of Fred dancing with a hat stand in Royal Wedding (1951), </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the stage show this is how Dale finds him, easy access as Horace has thoughtlessly (or helpfully depending on your viewpoint) left the door open, in the movie Dale is left having to knock on the door although as Jerry doesn't hear her she is left to open it herself and his face is an absolute picture</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Top Hat (on stage) Dale makes her presence known by telling Jerry that 'You make a lovely couple' his reply is a simple 'Why, Thank you', Turns out 'Hatty' is both Stylish and Contemporary but 'thin' ;-) Hatty incidently got her name because when Dale asks 'if she has a name' Jerry promptly hangs his hat upon her</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fred's affliction now differs, in the movie its 'St Vitus Dance' but in the show its become 'Tapititus' possibly because modern audiences wouldn't get the reference, however the cure remains the same, one thing can stop Jerry 'his nurses always put their arms around him' Dale's answer shows the change of the times, in 1935 she says she'll 'call the house detective but in 2012 this has changed to the hotel manager.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also in the stage show Jerry points out that Dale hasn't said 'good night' she turns to him and says 'No, I didn't', in the film Jerry merely calls good night to Dale as she walks down the stairs, another difference here of course is that in Top Hat on stage the entire scene takes part in Horace's hotel room whereas in the movie Jerry and Dale move into the corridor</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This aside Jerry still discovers the sand when he's about to drop his spent match in it, In the movie Horace meets Jerry in the corridor actually carrying the bin complaining that the phone call was actually for Jerry and that someone (Dale) has made a complaint, the same happens in the show except on this occasion Horace enters his room to find Jerry already scattering the sand on the floor</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It would appear that Jerry has met the complainant, that she is lovely and that she wants to sleep and that in turn he has appointed himself her official 'sand man'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What follows is one of the loveliest of sand dances ever, The dance critic Arlene Croce in 'The Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers Book' calls it the 'Sexiest Scene' on film, it definitely translated very well onto the stage!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On film Jerry's dancing not only sent Dale and Horace to sleep it sent him to sleep also, on stage however Hatty returns to him and he merely puts his finger to his lips saying 'shhh'</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Timing Seemed Right...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By Ava Astaire McKenzie</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">'In the fall of 2009 a producer by the name of Kenny Wax asked to come and see me with a project he wanted to discuss. He explained that he was very committed to mounting a stage production of Top Hat which had been one of my father's most successful movies for the RKO studios. He explained that he had approached the Irving Berlin Music Company in New York with the idea but they had turned down his request. He told me that he was going to go and see them regardless and that if he had my support, it would certainly carry a great deal more weight. So I wrote a letter to Ted Chaplin who runs the Irving Berlin Music Company saying that I felt the timing seemed right, that it was a very good idea and I'd have no objection. Ted also runs the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organisation, so he has a great deal of influence in the world of musical theatre and in time he was able to open the door for Kenny to meet Ted Hartley who owns RKO Pictures. By the strangest of co-insidences my own husband Richard was an old friend of Ted Hartley from our days in Los Angeles, so on Kenny's return trip he went armed with another letter, this time for Ted Hartley, which helped to oil the wheels for a second time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also thought that if Top Hat was done well, it would look so wonderful on stage and I really hoped that it was something that would happen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My only real reservation was that the actor chosen to play the male lead would not be playing Fred Astaire, but would be portraying the character of Jerry Travers that my father played in the movie.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In November 2010 we were asked to attend the first read and sing-through of the new script which had been adapted for the stage. I was so impressed, really amused and thoroughly entertained and I remember looking forward to seeing the show with anticipation, the lavish sets, the beautiful costumes. I had nothing but positive thoughts about the prospects for the show.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Whether my father would have endorsed it is difficult to say. He very much preferred to look forward and not back and perhaps he would even have been puzzled as to why someone wanted to re-create it after all these years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But I'd like to think that the wonder of seeing and hearing a large company of 31 people, all tapping simultaneously on stage to Irving Berlin's great melodies, should in itself be extremely exciting. And then of course you can add the choreographer's magic on top of that. Bill Deamer, who had been entrusted with creating the routines for the stage show, choreographed a concert that we did at the London Paladium called 'Fred Astaire: His daughter's tribute'. Bill has a wonderful understanding of the period and is the perfect choice, but then I would say that as I was the one who recommended him to the producer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Almost every professional dancer that I have ever come across has said the same thing to me - that my father was the inspiration for their career. That's quite a legacy. I emphasise though, that he worked incredibly hard, no one had to tell me that, it was obvious and I saw it for myself. When I worked with him on his television specials he insisted on at least twice the amount of dance rehearsal that would have been the norm. He was a perfectionist. Perhaps this production of Top Hat will excite another generation of dancers to enter the profession and I think that my father would have been happy about that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The movie of Top Hat was filmed and released before I was born, so I don't have any specific recollections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I do know that, despite things that have been written, Daddy and Ginger had great respect for each other and liked working together. Perhaps they weren't great social friends, they had their own lives, but they certainly did not fight. I remember Ginger coming to the house in Beverly Hills and all of us eating in the casual day room rather than the formal dining room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Although I was unaware of it at the time, in retrospect I realise that I grew up in a magical world. Our neighbours were Charlie Chaplin on one side and Mary Pickford on the other. Among my parents' good friends were Cole Porter, Merle Oberon, Sam Goldwyn and David Niven. Randolph Scott was my godfather, Clark Gable was a regular visitor to our ranch in the San Fernando Valley, and I remember going to Liza Minnelli's birthday party where there were elephants.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Daddy, of course, was great friends with Irving Berlin. I recall answering the phone to Irving's unmistakable voice on many occasions, and when I was a very young girl I knew his daughters. We met up again at the rehearsed reading. How nice that Top Hat has reunited the Berlins and the Astaires after all these years'</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Top Hat on Stage had its World Premiere at Milton Keynes Theatre on the 16th August 2011, it had a successful 17 week tour in the UK, with an additional pre West End tour in the spring of 2012 before transferring to London's West End where it opened for previews at the Aldwych Theatre on the 19th April 2012 with it's 'official' opening on the 9th May 2012.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Top Hat ran for 18 months in the West End with its closing show on the 26th October 2013, during this period it was nominated for 7 Olivier Awards and won 3 including 'Best New Musical', 'Best Costume Design' and 'Best Choreographer', Top Hat also won 'Best Night Out' in the Evening Standards Theatre Awards 2012</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A further 47 week tour of the UK and Ireland began on the 12th of August 2014 and is due to finish on the 25th July 2015</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A Japan Tour going to Tokyo and Osaka commences on the 30th of September</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I can 100% verify that it's an amazing production, I freely admit that I've seen it more than a few times ;-) and thoroughly recommend it :-)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top Hat (1935)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">vs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top Hat on Stage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Thackeray Club</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here the film and the stage show are almost the same, although a few moments shown in the film are different and some of the lines are different</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the movie we see people entering the club and see a plaque reading The London Thackeray Club founded in 1864, we then see another sign announcing that Silence Must be observed in the club rooms</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jerry it transpires is waiting for his friend Horace Hardwick and is obviously getting bored as demonstrated in both the film and the stage show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We learn when Horace arrives at The Thackeray Club (eventually) that Jerry has been waiting for him for quite some time. When Horace is speaking to the concierge and has finished telling them that Mr Travers is indeed the celebrated American Gentleman (film)/ celebrated American Performer (stage) and that he's come over to star in his show, in the film Horace tells the concierge that he doesn't want any of the members (of the club) to know as he wants to surprise them, the concierge's wonderful reply is that 'he's sure they'll be surprised, first leaving Horace grinning and then his facial expression changing quickly as he realises what the man has said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Horace goes to find Jerry the conversation remains quiet until having explained to Jerry that he has many things to tell and that he wants him to come back to his hotel, turns back to the concierge to retrieve their things, Jerry takes the opportunity to liven the club up and blasts a tap barrage causing Horace to come and drag him away and an annoyed room of club members behind them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the stage show the concierge instead reassures Horace that his lips are sealed and that he won't say a word to anyone, when Horace goes over to Jerry they have a conversation which is half quiet and goes loud at random times ensuring a loud Shhh, Horace tells Jerry that they can't talk in here and they prepare to leave, as the concierge comes over with Jerry's hat it is noticed that when he walks his shoes squeak, Jerry having established that it's not him, blasts into a barrel of taps leaving the Thackeray club members in a state of disturbed exasperation</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike in the film where the next scene is straight to the hotel, in the stage show we see Horace and Jerry with Horace trying with some desperation to attract a taxi, Jerry is asking him about business, thankfully it seems that business is good for Horace as he then explains he has an expensive wife to support, Jerry then asks about Madge and expresses his disappointment that she'll be missing his opening night, it turns out that Horace isn't so bothered about this as apparently opening nights make Madge jumpy and the only thing that calms her down is spending Horace's money and that in turn makes him jumpy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is followed by banter between Horace and Jerry including that 'last week Horace went to a funeral and caught the bouquet!' Jerry kindly assures him that he's not unlucky and that he's about to have a hit show, Horace recovers and tells Jerry that not only is he right but that he must treat him to dinner, fortunately for them a cab driver finally appears and we learn that their destination is The Excelsior Hotel where the restaurant apparently serves the best foie gras in London</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This then leads onto the hotel suite... Watch out for part 3 :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
I considered at some point during Top Hat on stage's West End run doing a detailed comparison of Top Hat (the movie) and Top Hat (the stage show), somehow its now almost the end of the UK tour and I've only just started putting pen to paper... The aim is to post comparisons scene by scene and I will warn in advance that it could take some time, however for now here is the comparison of the 'opening'<br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Top Hat (1935) starts with
credits that include us, (the viewers) first seeing Fred’s feet coming into
view and then Ginger’s feet dancing into join them. Audiences in 1935 knew that
Fred and Ginger together equalled dancing and that wherever the movie happened
to be set that their characters would be American.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Top Hat on Stage however
sets their opening on the stage of a New York theatre where ‘Jerry Travers’ is
performing for the last time for the foreseeable future on Broadway. The number
being performed here is ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’ a song that tells the listener
all about life on ‘Park Avenue’, interestingly for a show set in 1935 the
version sang was adjusted for the 1948 movie ‘Easter Parade’ Maybe they felt
that a life on Park Avenue was more appropriate than Lennox Avenue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At the stage door we learn
from Jerry’s manager answering questions from Newspaper men, that Jerry is West
End bound and the following week will be starring in a new review at ‘The Prince’s
Theatre’ London (interesting to note that Fred and Adele starred in ‘Funny
Face’ 1927 at the same theatre). When Jerry comes out he is asked what can we
tell our readers when they might see him again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We learn that Jerry has
spent the last 4 years on Broadway, it’s like home and that he will be back!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Next scene should be up tomorrow, after that it depends on how fast I can scribble it (I may need to keep the film playing during the entire time ;-) shame I can't do that with the stage show also!! </span></div>

<br />
Ginger for me was one of the most talented actresses, not only was she a fabulous dancer but had that rare ability to be successful at anything she put her hand to, being a comedienne, wowing everyone in 'straight roles', keeping people on their seats in film noir, playing skeet, drawing, painting, tennis and the list goes on!!!<br />

Despite not posting my love for Ginger and Fred hasn't gone anywhere, if anything I've been doing my best with promoting their movies everytime I travel to see the stage production of Top Hat, as on tour i've now seen it 25 times (making 52 times in total) that adds up to a fair few locations! (Japan tour is next)<br />
<br />
I'm also very happy that the Victoria & Albert Museum in London are hosting an event in September to celebrate 80 years since the release of Top Hat, it goes without saying that i'm looking forward to it!<br />

<br />
About 20 minutes into the 3rd and final programme Len Goodman launched into talking about Vernon and Irene Castle and the influence they had on Britain in the 1910s, if anyone has seen the footage of the first half of this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuufFgAMkGE (have to say i'm fonder of the second half for reasons known to anyone who has seen it)<br />
I didn't realise until now that this formed part of a film that was aired to movie audiences in 1915 'The Whirl Of Life', effectively the first dance training video!!<br />
They also thankfully mentioned that Fred was inspired by them and so effectively had they inspired the dancing of Fred and Ginger that they had made a movie about them!! (Fred and Ginger made a movie about Vernon and Irene before anyone decides to pull a pun ;)) Which on that particular note it is a shame that only people today who are familiar with dance and its history seem to have any idea of who they were, I find it hard enough sometimes to find people who have heard of Fred and Ginger let along trying to find people who know exactly who Vernon and Irene were let alone what they were famous for!!<br />
<br />
The tv show has helpfully thrown up a few 'new' to me photos of Vernon and Irene<br />

It is somewhat disappointing that there are no further references to Fred and Ginger and disappointing again that there were no mentions of Fred and Adele especially considering how much more beloved they were in the UK compared to the US and of course considering who Adele married and all, then again Vernon was British which helps with talking about British dance history!!<br />
<br />
I'm sure you'll likely have seen most if not all of these before but they make a nice round off/comparison non the less :-)<br />

The two new leads Alan Burkitt and Charlotte Gooch are the best pair I have seen as Jerry and Dale on stage, not to mention Alan is the nearest I reckon that has been seen to Fred Astaire, he really is amazing!! I've now seen the show an awesome 31 times including a flying visit to Edinburgh at the weekend specially to see it. Anyone who knows me will know Top Hat is my favourite of Fred and Ginger's musicals so to love the stage show almost as much as i love the movie is something really special! As in go see ;) If anyone is in the UK and fancies a group outing please post here :-)FredandGingerMadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16219608263701805469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692356349579198901.post-26967748572930080602014-07-17T00:01:00.001+01:002014-07-17T00:01:47.727+01:00Happy 103rd Birthday Ginger!!!!Happy Birthday Ginger may you forever rest in peace<br />
<br />
Hard to believe that 3 years ago was in Independence for Ginger's centenary suffering in some serious heat (well it felt like serious heat until stopped in New Mexico the following morning!)<br />
Feeling sad again that Nina (erosenplatt) is also no longer with us, it gets harder when Ginger/Fred related events occur :(<br />
<br />

For those in the Vicinity of the United States it is being shown at the TCM film festival on April 12th, so very envious of anyone who gets to go!<br />
<br />
After a wonderful tip off from a Facebook friend i won via auction a copy of a press book for Hat Check Girl, i don't currently have a working scanner but here's a few bits from it :-)<br />
<br />
Synopsis from the Press book for Hat Check Girl (1932)<br />
'Checking hats in a night club may not be very elevating, but at least it's a job, in the opinion of Gerry march (Sally Eilers) and her chum Jessie King (Ginger Rogers). Jessie adds to her income by selling liquor on the side. But Gerry, with a widowed mother and a lazy brother to support, fears to take the risk even in the face of a request by her boss, Tony Carlucci (Dewey Robinson), who owns the hat check concession in most of the city's resorts and who promises her protection.<br />
<br />
Gerry attends a gay party given by the rich Phil Cornwall (Arthur Pierson), and is escorted there by Tod Reese (Monroe Owsley) a suave publisher who makes his living running a blackmailing scandal magazine and who has had an "affair" with Gerry in the past. The party ends so late that Gerry has no time to return to Brooklyn, and Cornwall offers the use of an apartment upstairs, owned by his friend, Buster Collins (ben Lyon), who is out of town.<br />
<br />
The next afternoon she is awakened by the unexpected arrival of Buster, who is delighted to find her there. She eludes him, and goes back to her job, to which he later trails her. Carlucci, determined to teach her a lesson, has a fake prohibition agent "arrest" her for selling liquor, but pretends to use his influence to release her on her tearful consent to sell for him thereafter, and Buster takes her home.<br />
The friendship between Gerry and Buster ripens quickly. he proposes to her during an afternoon visit to the mountains, but she demurs, knowing her past is against her. Collins, Sr., is finally persuaded to agree to his son's marriage, and gives them a big New Year's Party for them on the eve of the wedding. Reece attends, and tells the father of his earlier relations with Gerry. Collins, shocked, in turn gives his son an inkling of the truth, and later Buster and Reece are alone in a room together during a game of "Murder."<br />
<br />
When the guests enter to bring out the "victim," they find that Reece has actually been killed, and the police hold Buster for the crime. Gerry's efforts to obtain his release make Collins, Sr., think she is merely after publicity, and she is forced out of the case. When it is later discovered, however, that Reece was killed by a gambler, Dan McCoy (Noel Madison), with whom he had dealings in the past, Buster is freed and returns to Gerry - for good."<br />
<br />
not a synopsis i'd read before! It did say not for publication so possibly why, hopefully that's long expired ;)<br />
it does however in my eyes go a little way to explaining why the Hays Office weren't so happy (even though the film was released anyway) and possibly why the Hays Office then refused to rerelease it in 1937<br />
<br />
There is also a little note in the Advance Newspaper Material telling the reader that<br />

I know when I originally watched the 4 (to my knowledge at least) widely available on VHS in the UK I was around the same age as Shirley was when these movies were made, incidently the first Shirley Temple movie I saw was Rebecca of Sunnybrooke Farm, which has Randolph Scott in it, i loved him so much in that movie!!! i'm sure most people have heard my opinion of him in Roberta and Follow the Fleet ;) I also enjoyed Shirley's performance in 'I'll Be Seeing You' I didn't choose the movie because she was in it but when I saw she was in it I was interested to see her performance in a non musical picture, so many child stars aren't seen past puberty afterall :( Found a few photos including one that I hadn't seen before of Fred with Shirley and Rita Hayworth :)<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

one thing to smile about (providing you haven't already seen it!) was browsing google earlier for photos of Ginger (by Hurrell) and came across this shot instead<br />

<br />
I first got to know 'E' when she sent me a message on youtube suggesting where I could go to get my records converted to CD, her reckoning was if I could get them transferred I might be nice enough to put them on youtube, in nearly 3 years I've acquired a record player, Ginger's recordings have turned up in various places, I still haven't found anywhere to get my precious records transferred although some have been "recorded" for youtube but I made a friend who's friendship I will cherish forever<br />
<br />
Perhaps the worst thing I've had to do was tell Anneliese about E's passing as Anneliese thought so much of her, when I told A we were going to the US her first question was 'Will we get to see "E"'? that before American Girl or anything else. When I told her the sad news her first question was 'Does that mean we'll never get to see her again?' her second (which I guess is typical of a child) was 'Does that mean there'll be no more exciting parcels' For a 6 year old I guess forever is a long time to comprehend, but her question made me think of everything I'll miss most about E, the emails and conversations on everything from Fred and Ginger to the complicated Ashes Score (cricket), the weather and life in general. The amazing way she'd find old magazine articles on Ginger, Fred, Lela, Adele not to mention music, radio recordings and other hidden gems. As well her kindness and her generosity and the treasured time spent in her company, including most recently the Labor Day Weekend only just gone, months ago when I was deciding what to do about a trip to the US (as a fine example of her wonderfulness E had been looking after my Fred and Ginger dolls until I could get over to the US to pick them up) E suggested I might bring A over again as she'd like that, i'm so glad now I was able to take her as 2 years is a long time for any child's memory<br />
Ian too said all too rarely did you meet strangers who were so kind from the offset, its a rare quality that Ginger's fans particularly possess :-) <br />
<br />
I was looking through emails that E sent to me when we first started corresponding and found some photos, some of them no doubt you'll have seen but others perhaps not, sorry that I did not share them before, now I know why I should have started blogging sooner (the photos were kindly sent over 9 months before Huey persuaded me I should also blog!)<br />

Thanks also to Erosenplatt for explaining archive.org and being patient with explaining when i accidently downloaded some random programme instead of the movie it should have been (don't ask there were 4 different download options!)<br />
<br />
Now I know why it's best to save movies to different places, as a good example my 'Fred and Ginger' movies are completely separate to both my Ginger movies and my Fred movies, mainly because at the end of the day they are the most precious even with at least 3 copies of each movie on dvd ;)<br />
<br />
Super excited at the moment because Vacation time is looming :D It feels a long time since the last time I was away (a trip to my grandma's at the weekend doesn't count right?!) and much longer at any rate since I was in the US, think I need to sort with Ian exactly what we're gonna be doing in NYC, we have some common interests but i'm not sure he wants to visit any cemetarys - I always make a point to visit Woodlawn Cemetary in the Bronx, amongst others laid to rest, Vernon and Irene Castle, Irving Berlin, WIlliam Haines and Jimmy Shields are interred there, plus certain Ginger and Fred related locations, whilst Ian wants to cross Brooklyn Bridge and visit Rockaway Beach (sp? weather pending) Not to mention Anneliese who's main interests for New York are American Girl and the Carousel by the Chelsea Piers :-)<br />
Washington DC is much easier as we have 3 (almost 4) full days there as opposed to 2 full days and 2 half days in NYC, I am planning to try and hold off shopping in NYC except for anything Jerry Ohlingers Movie store might be able to tempt me with though ;-)<br />
<br />
I'd try and feel bad for anyone who's back at school while we go on vacation, although you broke up way earlier, Anneliese goes back to school 2 days after we come home and she didn't break up till the end of July :-)<br />
<br />
Hope all is fine and dandy for everyone back at school or not<br />
<br />
As ever<br />

<br />
Asking a big favour from fellow Ginger fans i have some of Ginger's movies backed up in other places but not all (although there should be a memory stick with them on in my house somewhere its just finding it) and am now asking if people could help me out with the movies I now have missing, would be very grateful if anyone could, really am devastated to find this (second harddrive thats wiped on me this year :( )<br />
<br />
The Movies I am now missing are<br />
<br />
A Night In A Dormitory<br />
Young Man of Manhattan<br />
Queen High<br />
Honor Among Lovers<br />
The Tip-Off<br />
The Tenderfoot<br />
You Said A Mouthful<br />
Professional Sweetheart<br />
Upperworld<br />
Romance in Manhattan<br />
Star of Midnight<br />
In Person<br />
Tom, Dick and Harry <br />
Tales of Manhattan<br />
Lady In The Dark<br />
Weekend At The Waldorf<br />
Heartbeat<br />
Storm Warning<br />
Forever Female<br />
The First Travelling Saleslady<br />
Teenage Rebel<br />
Oh Men, Oh Women<br />
Quick Lets Get Married<br />
Harlow<br />
<br />
I've got a lot of if only's going through my head right now, if anything good comes out of this it'll be a much tidier house as i'm doing everything i can right now to find any memory sticks that might have some of the missing movies on<br />

Happy 102 Birthday to our beautiful lady, hard to believe only 2 years ago was in Independence for Ginger's Centenary, by the clock it was only half 8! Was a real privilige to meet Huey (and the gang!) Incidently i'm always up for meeting other fans of Ginger (erosenplatt will tell ya that!) so if anyone else is NYC or Washington DC based I (and 'baby' although at 6 she sure isn't a baby no more! oh and Ian lol) are in NYC 26th-29th Aug and DC 29th Aug-2nd Sept :-)FredandGingerMadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16219608263701805469noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692356349579198901.post-21631025332940251702013-07-08T00:09:00.001+01:002013-07-08T00:09:59.712+01:00Late 4th July Greeting plus 'The Castle's are Coming'...I seem to be running late for everything at the moment, but hope everyone in the US enjoyed the 4th July! I did watch 'Lets Say It With Fire Crackers' from Holiday Inn more times than most people may watch it in a year but it is one of Fred's best solo numbers out of the Astaire-Rogers movies, the whole number is actually pretty good including Bing singing, the 'video' in the background really puts into perspective that 'WW2 ' started for the US during the filming of the movie and they slotted it in quite nicely (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAUdb-3aq0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlgAj_29Z7U) On a completely seperate note Holiday Inn was in my own opinion the only movie that looked as good colourised as it did in b&w, although had i not watched the documentary on how the colourisation was done and the research put into it I probably wouldn't be so keen!<br />
<br />
I don't know if anyone is in the NYC area but this came up on my facebook page the other day<br />

<br />
It sounds interesting but i had a rant into the empty room (as one does) about how Irene Castle was never fair to Ginger right from the offset :( On the otherhand i'd still like to see it, although the synopsis makes no mention of how RKO got Irene 'out of their hair... <br />
Also to be completely honest if it wasn't for RKO, Fred and Ginger i doubt very much i'd even know who Vernon and Irene Castle were!<br />

I will say that whenever i'm in NYC i make a point of paying my respects to Vernon and Irene at Woodlawn Cemetary in the Bronx (on a side note Irving Berlin is also interred there) and on my first visit met a guy who remembered Irene visiting Vernon's grave reguarly before her death :)<br />
<br />
Apologies for the gaps between posting, life seems to be rushing at high speed around here, probably because we're on the last couple of weeks before schools get out for the summer and I have so much to do before then! I finally got my degree results and graduate on the 19th July :) So now when I fill out application forms I no longer have to write result pending which may i guess not have helped much with job applications. On a mission to find a job! As my degree is in Youth Work I am hoping to work with young people but the government seems to like hitting budgets for that first :(<br />
<br />
The summer vacation looks like it's gonna be one long garage sale, but we do get a vacation at the end of August, 8 days in New York and Washington, Anneliese's first trip to the US since 2011, she's already got her eye on a few trips to American Girl, Ian's coming with us, so a first family vacation!<br />

<br />
Having spent rather a lot of the week watching the 'Begin the Beguine' number from 'Broadway Melody of 1940' I thought of taking a look at the different MGM pictures made by Ginger and Fred separately and indeed for one glorious film together<br />
<br />
Fred's first movie for MGM was also his first step into motion pictures, he'd signed for RKO with the imminent start of 'Flying Down to Rio' expected, they weren't ready so they lent Fred to MGM for 'Dancing Lady' starring 'Clark Gable' and 'Joan Crawford' far too similar to what was being done at Warner Bros by Busby Berkley it's main claim to fame (at least as far as i can see as that's how its marketed on the UK dvd!) is it was Fred's first screen appearance! He appeared as himself in the movie, in his autobiograhy he said<br />
'To have Clark Gable call me out by my own name and to play a scene with him and Joan Crawford was, I thought, a great way to be presented to the vast movie public - to many who had never seen or heard of me in spite of all my years on the stage.'<br />

<br />
Fred's first non RKO movie in 7 years was his second movie for MGM 'Broadway Melody of 1940'paired with Eleanor Powell, just about the best female tap dancer in the movie business, it's interesting to see them dance together. Begin the Beguine towards the end of the movie is one of the best tap numbers ever captured on film, if you haven't seen it, its worth a
look, its on youtube if you don't fancy watching the whole movie!<br />

In 1945 came Ginger's first MGM film with 'Week-end at the Waldorf' a remake of 'Grand Hotel' 1932, Ginger played a movie star who mistakes a war correspondent for a jewel thief played by Walter Pigeon<br />
If anything this movie made me yearn for a stay at The Waldorf-Astoria (i can dream right?!)<br />

Fred made two films for MGM in 1945 (although Zeigfeld Follies started filming in 1944) both however were released in 1946 with Yolanda and the Thief with Lucille Braemer released first<br />

Despite this being a b&w photo the movie was released in technicolor, if your a fan of Fred its worth watching once<br />
<br />
Zeigfeld Follies (1945) had a much delayed release in mid 46, its a combination of some ok revues and some better, the one's Fred featured in were definitely some of the better (although the majority aren't bad)<br />
<br />
It was also the first film (and only if you don't count the That's Entertainment movies) where Fred and Gene Kelly danced together, they reprised 'The Babbit and the Bromide' that Fred and his sister Adele first performed in 'Funny Face' (1927, Broadway and West End) the lyrics are edited but the dance number is fabulous and its a shame their only other number together came in 1974<br />

Fred's next MGM movie (after his 'retirement') was Easter Parade with Judy Garland, everyone knows (i presume) that Fred came out of retirement (he retired after Blue Skies, 1946) as a favor to Gene Kelly who'd broken his ankle either playing football or volleyball (depending on which source you read) this film Fred and Judy hoped would lead to more collaborations together and indeed 'You Made Me Love You' was planned while Easter Parade was still in production. The film also starred Ann Miller (who played the partner who leaves Astaire for better work) and Peter Lawford (and a very complicated love square - until of course people realise their mistakes)<br />

Sadly for Judy although somewhat of a dream for a lot of other people 'You Made Me Love You' became 'The Barkleys of Broadway' the final movie Ginger and Fred would make together, the only one they made in Technicolor and the only one they made together for MGM<br />

I love 'Barkleys' true it has a different charm to it to the 9 RKO movies but boy am i glad they made one last movie and in style<br />
<br />
The Barkleys of Broadway was also Ginger's 2nd and last film for MGM, Fred however carried on (for some of the best musicals of the 1950s)<br />
<br />
Three Little Words (1950) starred Fred and Red Skelton as Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. A losely based biography its still one of the better film biographies that MGM were so fond of making at the time<br />
With Vera Ellen and Arlene Dahl as the female leads, if you can stand seeing Gale Robbins again its well worth seeing (to be fair i quite like the number she sings)<br />

Royal Wedding (or Wedding Bells in the UK) was released in 1950, loosely based on Fred and Adele Astaire's late Broadway/West End career, it starred Fred with Jane Powell (playing his part's sister), Peter Lawford as the English Lord she marries and Sarah Churchill as Fred's love interest. As this was set around the Royal Wedding (between the then Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip) the film was retitled for UK release so people wouldn't confuse it as a documentary for the 'real' Royal Wedding<br />
This movie contains the amazing 'Your All the World To Me' where Fred appears to dance on the ceiling, i've heard countless times how this was achieved but I still can't work it out when I watch the movie, it really is awesome to see!!!<br />
It also contains the number with the longest song title ever in a Hollywood movie 'How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You, When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life' its an amusing number, but heck try saying that one in a hurry, makes a great tongue twister ;)<br />

The Belle of New York was the reason Fred retired in 1946, MGM tied him to that if he came out of retirement eventually he'd have to make the film, I'd say its a shame but i really liked it especially the classic 'I Wanna Be A Dancin Man' the original was filmed with Fred wearing his waiter's uniform, MGM decided they needed something more formal so they put him in a suit, when the vaults were opened the original saw the light of day again, they can be viewed in split screen together on 'That's Entertainment Part3' Its a real tribute to how much Fred rehearsed as apart from the outfits the numbers are virtually identical despite being filmed weeks apart. Its all very Guys and Dolls although the film was based on a stage musical which predates Guys and Dolls! I'm not a fan of the film version of Guys and Dolls (although i loved the stage versions i've seen) and enjoyed seeing Vera Ellen with Fred for a second time<br />

The Band Wagon (1953) was the first of two movies that Fred made with Cyd Charisse, this was vaugely biographical and had vague references to Fred's own career at that moment in time, it is a fabulous movie, with some great numbers including 'By Myself', 'Dancing in the Dark' and 'That's Entertainment' most of the songs from the movie came from the Broadway show 'The Bandwagon' the last show that Fred and Adele starred in together, the plot however is completely different and reflected the changing times (22 years had passed afterall) with Jack Buchanan as the broadway producer who wants to star, direct and produce all at the same time and Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabray providing the comedy (oh and they 'wrote' the show that Astaire's character performs in)<br />

Silk Stockings was one of the last great MGM musicals to be made by the Arthur Freed Unit at MGM, a film version of the Broadway show which had been based on 'Ninotchka' (1939) this was the second and last film to star Fred and Cyd Charisse, after 3 Soviet Commisiars fail to bring back the composer that Astaire's character wants to write the music for his new musical Ninotchka (Charisse) turns up in town to find out just why they have all but defected. Brilliant film, the comedy provided by Peter Lorre, Jules Munshin, Joseph Buloff and possibly unintentionally (from her character's perspective at any rate) Janis Paige<br />
