The Barkleys of Broadway
Fred Astaire had sung "They Can't Take That Away from Me" to Ginger Rogers previously in Shall We Dance (1937), but they had never danced to it. Rogers suggested that they use the song again (this time dancing), and so it was included.,In "Shoes With Wings On" dance, one dancer has his shoes off when trying the tap shoes. When he takes them off and gives them to Fred Astaire's character, the dancer forgets to pick up his shoes when he walks out the door. After that, they are not to be found when the routine continues.,Ezra Millar: Thank you. I'm touched, the piano's touched, and Tchaikovsky's touched.,Edited into Hollywood: The Dream Factory (1972),They Can't Take That Away from Me
(1937)
Music by George Gershwin
Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
Sung by Fred Astaire (uncredited)
Danced by Fred Astaire (uncredited) and Ginger Rogers (uncredited),Another fluffy concoction from the Freed unit at MGM, this one most notable for the reteaming of Rogers and Astaire after a ten year break, with the usual mix of tunes and laughs. Full of the usual high jinks expected from the stars, the screenwriters and the creative team it's hard to resist...even if the polish can't completely cover all the cracks. When Fred and Ginger dance (again) to "They Can't Take That Away From Me" you just can't help but melt! Who could ask for anything more?,
