Description by OLDIES.com:

Flying Down To Rio (1933, 89 mins.): Their first film together! Chorines soar on airplane wings, Vincent Youmans' bright score lifts spirits even higher and Fred and Ginger steal the show with "The Carioca."

The Gay Divorcee (1934, 105 mins.): "The Continental" revels in precision-dance joy, Cole Porter's "Night And Day" sways with timeless grace and Fred and Ginger's first top billing sets the tone for more film hits to come. Academy Award (1934): Best Original Song - "The Continental."

Roberta (1935, 106 mins.): Fred and Ginger sing "I Won't Dance," but their feet prove otherwise in a tale of Parisian high fashion and hijinks. The largely Jerome Kern score also includes "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes."

Carefree (1938, 83 mins.): She's afraid of marriage - can he help? With the forever magic of Irving Berlin's romantic "Change Partners," the dance craze of "The Yam" and more, the answer is delightfully "Yes!"

The Story Of Vernon And Irene Castle (1939, 93 mins.): The Fox Trot. Castle Walk. Texas Tommy. Maxie. They're steps to stardom as Fred and Ginger portray the early-1900s icons who were King and Queen of the Ballroom.
