Swing Time is a 1936 American RKO musical comedy film set mainly in New York City, and starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It features Helen Broderick, Victor Moore, Eric Blore and Georges Metaxa, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The film was directed by George Stevens.
Noted dance critic Arlene Croce considers Swing Time Astaire and Rogers' best dance musical, a view shared by John Mueller and Hannah Hyam. It features four dance routines that are each regarded as masterpieces. "Never Gonna Dance" is often singled out as the partnership's and collaborator Hermes Pan's most profound achievement in filmed dance, while "The Way You Look Tonight" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and went on to become Astaire's most successful hit record, scoring first place in the U.S. charts in 1936. Jerome Kern's score, the second of two he composed specially for Astaire, contains three of his most memorable songs.
The film's plot has been criticized, though, as has the performance of Metaxa. More praised is Rogers' acting and dancing performance. Rogers herself credited much of the film's success to Stevens: "He gave us a certain quality, I think, that made it stand out above the others."Swing Time also marked the beginning of a decline in popularity of the Astaire–Rogers partnership among the general public, with box office receipts falling faster than usual, after a successful opening. Nevertheless, the film was a sizable hit, costing $886,000, grossing over $2,600,000 worldwide, and showing a net profit of $830,000. The partnership never again regained the creative heights scaled in this and previous films.

In this Swing Time clip, Lucky, Astaire, saves Penny's, Rogers, job by showing how much she has taught him. The first true dance number with the two, the other being with Fred fumbling and pretending to be a terrible dancer. Both scenes, however, go to the same song, Pick Yourself Up, this scene without lyrics and much more lively with the other more calm, with lyrics, between the two.

"Never Gonna Dance” from 1936 musical film `Swing Time’: Fred Astaire sings Dorothy Field's memorable line: `la belle, la perfectly swell romance’ of Jerome Kern's ballad. As Ginger walks up the stairs, Fred not wanting her to leave begins his serenade to her in hopes that she will understand how heartbroken he is over losing her and how desperate he is in winning her back.
Here's one for Swing Time. This one uses only music from the movie. I especially like the songs in this one so I decided to use them.
"The Way You Look Tonight"' is a song performed by Fred Astaire in the musical film `Swing Time'. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. The song was sung to Ginger Rogers while she was busy washing her hair in the bathroom, and feeling anything but beautiful at the time. The song was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
"Pick Yourself Up" is a popular song composed in 1936 by Jerome Kern, with lyrics written by Dorothy Fields. The song was written for the film Swing Time (1936), where it was introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Ginger plays a dance instructor whom Fred follows into her studio; he pretends to have two left feet in order to get her to dance with him. It served as the theme song for the short-lived 1955-56 prime time television variety series The Johnny Carson Show. Lyrics: [He] Please teacher, teach me something, Nice teacher, teach me something. I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst, My two feet haven't met yet, But I'll be teacher's pet yet, 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst. [She] Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground...
A great virtuosic routine dance performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers before the end of the 1936 musical film `Swing Time’. After Fred is done singing Kern’s ballad, he tries to win Ginger back one more time dancing. So, elegantly and desperately, he pulls out all the stops, hoping to change her mind. At first, the dance is slow and somber, but eventually the pace and tempo pick up, and Fred and Ginger seem to be together again. However, in the final movement, Ginger twirls out of the room and doesn't come back, leaving Fred standing there forlorn. They first dance slowly to the music of “The Way You Look Tonight" then Fred adopts a crestfallen, helpless pose of despair. The music then changes and speeds up to the "Waltz in Swing Time" while Fred and Ginger separate to twirl their wa...

OSCAR WINNER:Best Song - "The Way You Look Tonight"It's "Swing Time" anytime Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers slip on their dancing shoes. Here, Fred's a gambler with a fiancee back home.... but one look at Ginger and all bets are off! He pursues, she resists, and it's all tied together by a series of breathtaking dances. "Bojangles of Harlem," a tribute to hoofer Bill Robinson, has Astaire tapping with three giant Astaire shadows. The sly "Pick Yourself Up" features Ginger teaching the supposedly flub-footed Fred how to dance. Other highlights from the splendid Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields score include "A Fine Romance," "Waltz in Swing Time," and the Academy Award winning "The Way You Look Tonight."

Zadie Smith reads from her new work, Swing Time and is introduced by Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah Zadie Smith’s new novel, Swing Time, is a dazzlingly energetic and deeply human story about friendship, music and stubborn roots. Her writing is “delightful, painful and spontaneously funny,” wrote Ella Taylor. “It reflects a lively, unselfconscious, rigorous, erudite and earnestly open mind that’s busy refining its view of life, literature and a great deal in between.” Subscribe for more videos like this: http://bit.ly/1GpwawV Your support helps us keep our content free for all.

Well the juke joints honey, where I learned how to sing
Where they honky tonk all night and Hank Williams is

We're on a Bladewater highway, goin' juke joint jumping

But it's a hep trap baby, and the cats are real cool
Well it's the real thing, it sure is a welcome sight

You're on a Bladewater highway, goin' juke joint
jumping tonight
