  This almost needs no introduction - almost. Astaires Puttin on the Ritz song and dance routine in Blue Skies (1946) looks deceptively easy and effortless but it took five weeks of painstaking preparation and rehearsal according to the dancer in his autobiography.

• Roberta (1935, William A. Seiter)

  
  Brandon's movie memory — Authority: 127
  Set in Paris but I don’t think there’s a single Parisian (character or actor). Stiff lunkhead footballer Randolph Scott ( Ride Lonesome ), looking convincingly awkward on the delicate Paris sets, is tagging along for some reason with Fred Astaire (here winningly named Huck Haines) and Fred’s band of musical ...

  When youre home for a quiet Saturday night its always nice to find a great old movie on the telly.
