Top Hat (1935) more movies like this

directed by Mark Sandrich
featuring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edward Everett Horton, Erik Rhodes, Helen Broderick

One of the best of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals, Top Hat centers on a typical mistaken-identity plot, with wealthy Dale Tremont (Rogers), on holiday in London and Venice, assuming that American entertainer Jerry Travers (Astaire) is the husband of her friend Madge (Helen Broderick) -- who's actually the wife of Jerry's business manager ...

On the Beach

On the Beach (1959) more movies like this

directed by Stanley Kramer
featuring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson

Although there'd been "doomsday dramas" before it, Stanley Kramer's On the Beach was considered the first "important" entry in this genre when originally released in 1959. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute, the film is set in the future (1964) when virtually all life on earth has been exterminated by the radioactive residue of a nuclear holocaust. ...

directed by Jack Haley, Jr.
featuring Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Donald O'Connor, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, James Stewart, Mickey Rooney, Debbie Reynolds, Peter Lawford

It's ironic that MGM, in such dire financial straits in 1974 that it was selling its fabled back lot and auctioning off artifacts from past movie triumphs, enjoyed one of its biggest box-office hits with That's Entertainment, a compilation of musical highlights from the studio's golden days. Onscreen hosts Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, ...

Ziegfeld Follies

directed by Charles Walters, George Sidney, Lemuel Ayers, Norman Taurog, Robert Lewis, Roy Del Ruth, Vincente Minnelli
featuring Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Fanny Brice, Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly

The presence of William Powell as legendary showman Flo Ziegfeld at the beginning of Ziegfeld Follies might lead an impressionable viewer from thinking that this 1946 film is a Technicolor sequel to the 1936 Oscar-winning The Great Ziegfeld. Not so: this is more in the line of an all-star revue, much like such early talkies as Hollywood Revue of ...

Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940) more movies like this

directed by Norman Taurog
featuring Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, George Murphy, Frank Morgan, Ian Hunter

MGM's third follow-up to its landmark Broadway Melody is short on story, but that's okay, since the plot is merely a clothesline upon which to hang sleek and opulent musical production numbers by Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell -- particularly a breathless and eye-popping gloriously black-and-white six-minute tap dance finale between Astaire and ...

Fred Astaire and Betty Hutton make a surprisingly copacetic screen team in Let's Dance. Hutton plays a more sedate role than usual as war widow Kitty McNeil. Not wishing to have her young son Richard (Gregory Moffatt) grow up in the stiff and stuffy environs of her Boston in-laws' mansion, Kitty sneaks off with the kid and resumes her prewar show ...

Two real-life events were incorporated into the plot of the 1951 MGM musical Royal Wedding.
