FRED ASTAIRE AND GINGER ROGERS - LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF (in colour)

FRED ASTAIRE AND GINGER ROGERS - LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF (in colour) NOTE: The video here is the George and Ira Gershwin song LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF. The song was written for the 1937 film Shall We Dance, where it was introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as part of a celebrated dance duet on roller skates. I've COLOURISED this scene from the original balck and white film. In the film, Fred (Peter P. Peters from Pittsburgh, PA, aka Petrov, a ballet star) and Ginger (Linda Keene, a well known night club singer/dancer) have run off to Central Park to escape reporters who are after the story of their rumored marriage. Having decided to do a little roller skating, they take a break on a bench where they bicker about the pronunciation of "either" and "neither." This leads, of course, to the two of them singing "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." The pair then dances to the melody on their skates. #fredastaire #gingerrogers
