Shall We Dance (1937)

Ballet dancer Fred Astaire falls for Ginger Rogers, but she doesn’t want anything to do with him. When a ruse goes awry, they must pretend to be married for the sake of their careers. This is my last Astaire-Rogers pairing and while it’s not my favorite, there are a couple of moments that shine. While they are on a ship travelling back to the United States, they spend a lot of time bonding on the dog walking deck, which the deck is very cute with all the puppies walking and in special ship kennels. The highlight remains the tape dancing routine between the two of them on roller skates. I watched it multiple times just to watch the intricate overlap between their tap skills and skating while dancing together.
