What Swing Time Is About
A dancer who arrives late to his own wedding goes to New York to restore his standing and falls for the woman giving him dance lessons. The plot is the usual pretext; the reason for the film is the dancing, and the dancing is extraordinary. When Astaire and Rogers are together the camera does not cut, because it does not need to. Several of the songs entered the American standard repertoire. One solo number is technically far ahead of its period. One sequence is now uncomfortable because of a racist stage tradition.
