Debonaire hoofer Fred Astaire ("Easter Parade") and the graceful Ginger Rogers ("Stage Door") star in this Oscar-nominated musical comedy about a woman who mistakenly thinks her best friend's husband is in love with her. Considered by many to be the dancing duo's best film, it features a classic Irving Berlin score, including "Cheek to Cheek" and the title song. Look for a young Lucille Ball as a florist shop clerk!

Critics Consensus: A glamorous and enthralling Depression-era diversion, Top Hat is nearly flawless, with acrobatics by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that make the hardest physical stunts seem light as air.

Reviews

Radio Times

Tony Sloman

Good-natured, warm-hearted and very witty, this is a movie to treasure for its sumptuous Art Deco design and the pairing of its principal players.

Astaire’s feline inverted-triangle face smiles atop a black swallow-tailed body undulating across the screen; he creates an exotic strangeness, juxtaposed with Ginger Rogers’s level-headed simplicity.

One of the cleverest of the musical comedies of the '30s, as well as, arguably, Astaire and Rogers' greatest collaboration.

Esquire Magazine

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

Tops everything that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers have done, and clicks as the gladdest, smoothest, truestto-medium movie musical ever made.
