Customer Reviews of A Damsel in Distress
The #1 Fred Astaire movie... Well, that's my opinion. Sure, it was his first to lose money. But that's because the 1937 public had a hard time accepting the genius of a man without Ginger. This film contains great solo dancing by Astaire, and for comical dancing he is joined by George Burns and Gracie Allen. We'll just leave out that outdoor dance he did with Joan Fontaine, though the song was a beaut. We see Astaire pounding away on the drums in every way imaginable for "Nice Work if You Can Get It", avoiding the bobby with "I Can't be Bothered Now", and spending time with George and Gracie in a fun house during "Stiff Upper Lip." Those songs, by George and Ira Gershwin are legendary. "Nice Work if you can Get It" is first sung by a madrigal choir that Astaire introduces to swing. "Things are Looking Up" is a romantic tune Astaire delivers to Joan Fontaine. We also hear "A Foggy Day," George Gershwin's last completed score is a can't miss. Pick this one up as soon as you can. You won't forget Gracie Allen's hilarious line: "Well, I don't blame him, if I were Art I'd object too."
Damsel in Distress
If you've ever watched a Fred Astaire movie that included Ginger Rogers, and thought that the movie would be much better without Rogers, this is the movie to watch. The script and story line are much better than his early films and Joan Fontaine can actually act as opposed to Rogers usual stale performance. The music is excellent and entertaining. George Burns and Gracie Allen make the film that much more enjoyable. One of Fred Astaires best.
a great film!
a great happy and ideal film. Fred Astaire and Joan Fontaine are great in it. think it deserves all the stars it can get. The dance number at the amusement fun house is one of the best and funnest and George and Gracie are adorrable in it. It's one of my favorites.
