TOO GOOD TO LOSE
ASTAIRE-ROGERS COMBINATION. “The Castles,” they say, is the last film Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers will make together,” C. A. Lejeune reiparks in “The Observer” (London). .. Mr . Astaire is off to dance with Eleanor Powell. Miss Rogers will have Tim Holt, Jack Holt’s son, as a partner in her.next picture. .Well, the two nave parted before, and we can only hope that this is no more permanent a parting than the other.
“When show partners have been as long together as Mr Astaire and Miss Rogers, a curious quality creeps into tiie combination that is more than 'the sum of the individual players. That is one - reason why trios of cheap clowns or quartettes of poor harmony singers are so aggressively unbearable. A new personality has been created that is Messrs X, Y and Z and something extra.- The something extra that we have learnt to know as Fred-and-Gin-ger is too rare and satisfying a thing to be lightly lost from the screen.” |
