Lovely to Look At: Roberta (1935)
After their success in Flying Down to Rio and the Gay Divorcee , Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were teamed for the third time in 1935's Roberta . Strangely enough, the duo was billed under star Irene Dunne and relegated to comedic relief. They only dance together twice in the film - but those two dances are some of their best work. Fred plays Huck Haines, a band leader from Indiana who's been hired to play a gig in Paris. He brings his band overseas only to discover he's out of a job because the man who hired Huck's Indianians wanted Indians instead. Huck and his friend John (Randolph Scott) remember they both know people in Paris who might be able to help them out - Huck's childhood neighbor Lizzie Gatz and John's Aunt Minnie, known as the famed dress designer Roberta. The band shows up at Roberta's where they meet Stephanie, the designer's assistant, and the fiery Countess Scharwenka - none other than Lizzie!
