Watching The Gay Divorcee on #TCM. Just had a pool scene where ALL the men were wearing socks and sandals. When is this look going to return?

One of my favorite photos of the legendary Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in action. It captures the joy and graceful movement that are so hard to capture in stills of their dancing.

This is The Continental dance in the final act of their first starring film, “The Gay Divorcée” (1934)

I’ve been a huge fan of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movies for a decade now and am puzzled why I don’t recall seeing this spectacular behind-the-scenes shot from “The Gay Divorcée” (1934) reproduced anywhere else except in Arlene Croce’s 1972 book on Astaire-Rogers films—still by far the best book about these films.
