This 1935 Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie is one of the all-time great musicals – and the perfect example of how the genre combatted the Depression by allowing moviegoers a chance to escape to a world where everyone was glamorous, and sophisticated, and about to fall in love. Oh, and the music… There’s so much to love here, but let’s just mention three words: “Cheek to Cheek.” Or two words: this film’s title song.
