Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire on roller skates, gliding to George and Ira Gershwin’s “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” in Shall We Dance (1937). Inventive, effortless, and utterly magical. 🎶✨ #ClassicHollywood #FredAndGinger #ShallWeDance

Rogers, Berlin and Astaire walking arm-arm down a studio alley. Rogers and Berlin are looking at each other, with Rogers smiling brightly.
Nothing like the magic of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Here they are with Irving Berlin during production of “Carefree” (1938)
