Their Reunion Ten Years Later Was no Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

Being a fan of this famous dancing couple, I was quite pleased by their comeback. As opposed to their popular films from the thirties, this film shows the couple already married. Thus, the screwball situation begins when Mrs. Barkley decides to become a dramatic and tragic actress on her own, free from her husband's influence. Things get complicated because there is a French playwright who not only encourages her, something that Barkley has neglected in doing, but also seems to be falling in love with her. Mr. Barkley adds tension to the plot when he helps his wife through telephone calls while pretending to be the French playwright. The plot is quite funny although it takes a while to take off.

The musicals scenes, however, are brilliant. Starting with the opening credits Astaire and Ginger are dancing. They also get to tap-dance together Bouncin' the Blues. The most emotional pairing of the two is the revival of a George Gershwin's song from Shall We Dance, They Can't Take That Away from Me. While in Shall We Dance, Astaire only sings it to Ginger to express his falling in love with her, in this version, they do a ballroom dance and the lyrics take on a new meaning within the context making this scene more powerful. Astaire gets to a unique solo routine as he tap dances with lots of shoes, a memorable Astaire performance of Shoes with Wings on. Oscar Levant joins the couple to play majestically two classical tunes, the Sabre Dance and Concerto no. 1 by Tchaikovsky. Although the direction of Mark Sandrich in early classics, such as Top Hat, the Gay Divorcee, Carefree, and Shall We Dance is missed here, the performances of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and the musical numbers lift this film from what could have been a mediocrity. I was able to see both dancers doing dramatic acting, particularly Ginger Rogers. The movie may not be there with Top Hat and Shall We Dance, but it is almost there.

Colorful Reunion

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

Barkleys of Broadway reunite Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in their only color film. The production was originally meant for Judy Garland to rejoin Astaire, however, Ms. Garland was unable to participate in the film. Bringing Ms. Rogers into the production proved to be an inspired reunion. Neither lost their timing (or footing) during the years between Barkleys and their last film, a "biopic" of Irene and Vernon Castle.

Lavish musical numbers, repartee with Oscar Levant--they make a good vehicle for Fred and Ginger to return to the screen, and when they dance "They Can't Take That Away from Me", one can see the regard they have for one another, whether it's due to that moment of the film (in a middle of a marital separation and coerced to perform together at a benefit by their colleague Millar) or regard for their previous work together. The chemistry remains and the song is performed with artistic affection.

An excellent addition to one's musical library, especially a library of the greatest dance partnership of film. DVD includes a good retrospective on making the film and other film shorts to make a nice "evening at the movies".

"A musical is a series of catastrophes ending with a floor show." -- Oscar Levant

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2010

Verified Purchase

Betty Comden & Adolph Green's THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY was the last Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie, and what a great finale it is.

Filmed in Technicolor on lavish sets, with gorgeous costumes and music provided by Harry Warren and Ira Gershwin, a familiar story of a couple breaking up and later reconciling has an added post-WWII twist of the woman choosing her own career over being the lesser of two performing Barkleys.

Song and dance man Josh Barkley's frequent reminders that his coaching was the key to wife Dinah's success is such a source of irritation to her, that when offered the lead in a legitimate drama Dinah chooses to leave musical comedy and her husband behind. Josh is jealous of playwright/director Jacques Barredout's doting on his wife, and even though they've officially separated, he lurks backstage during rehearsals of "Young Sarah Bernhardt."

Dinah struggles in a serious role. Jacques loses patience and barks at her in front of other cast members. Sympathetic Josh secretly places a number of phone calls to Dinah and, by pretending to be Jacques, gives acting advice that helps her enormously. But it looks like the payoff is Josh will lose Dinah to his rival.

Every musical piece in this film is a highlight. Co-star Oscar Levant amazes with his pianistic skill on two numbers, Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" and the 1st movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #2. Fred does a spot-on Harry Lauder impression on "My One and Only Highland Fling." Blue screen is used in the "Shoes with Wings On" number, where seven pairs of shoes (one is pink high heels) magically dance with Fred.

A charity fund raiser is a perfect opportunity for Ginger and him to reprise the Gershwin brothers' "They Can't Take That Away from Me," a song first heard in SHALL WE DANCE (1937). This time however, the two also dance to it. Astaire is clearly older than in his RKO days and Rogers is a bit thicker in the waist, yet they haven't lost the magic that makes a Fred & Ginger picture such a treat. Don't miss this final pairing of the greatest cinematic dance team of all time.

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.

An omen for the partners, a showcase for Ginger

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Ginger Rogers was by no means Fred Astaire's best dance partner . . . but she was one of the best actresses ever partnered with the legendary dancer. This film not only foreshadows the break-up of that partnership, when Ginger would leave to pursue more dramatic roles and focus more on acting than dance (and song), but it also showcases her dramatic talents moreso than most of their other films.

People who don't like musicals, especially musicals strong on dance, still won't like this. After all, this isn't the best format for story-telling . . . but it's a great format for entertainment for those who do appreciate exquisite dance and memorable music.

now my ginger rogers and fred astaire collection of all their films is complete. after 10 years waiting for this film to come out on dvd it was worth the wait to see the george and ira gershwin number from shall we dance: they can't take that away from me. all of which proves they can't take away the astaire/rogers magic either.
