What Daddy Long Legs Is About
In Daddy Long Legs, Fred Astaire was 55 or 56 when the film was released, while Leslie Caron was 23 or 24, a roughly 32 year age gap between them. Some critics of the era complained the two stars were too far apart in age to work as a romantic pair, though that criticism was noted to fade once the dance numbers began. This was actually a recurring pattern in Astaire's career: in Funny Face, Audrey Hepburn was nearly 30 years younger than him. Who it's for: anyone curious about a classic Fred Astaire musical whose age gap drew criticism even at the time, overshadowed by its dance numbers. Who it's not for: viewers wanting to watch without questioning that age gap, since it's a topic still debated today.
