CLASSIC MOVIE

STARRING FRED ASTAIRE LESLIE CARON THELMA RITTER TERRY MOORE FRED CLARK RAY ANTHONY AND DIRECTED BY JEAN NEGULESCO

NOMINATED FOR 3 OSCARS

FOX-1955-121 MIN

Mitzi Gaynor was the studio's first choice to play Julie, but Fred Astaire personally asked for Leslie Caron.

Fred Astaire's wife died during filming, and between some takes he would retreat to his trailer and cry. That's why, in some scenes, his eyes look red and swollen.

This musical was Fred Astaire's first and last for Twentieth Century-Fox. In addition, this film marked the final screen vocalizing by The Pied Pipers.

Fred Astaire thought the "Sluefoot" would become a huge dance craze. He was wrong.

Leslie Caron told Fred Astaire that she wanted to create her own costumes for the film. Astaire told her: "OK, but no feathers, please", recalling the utter exasperation he had with an elaborate ostrich feathered dress that Ginger Rogers insisted on wearing in Top Hat (1935), earning Rogers the nickname of "Feathers". Feathers started shedding from Rogers' dress, creating a huge distraction during filming. The shedding feathers nightmare was hilariously recreated in a dance in Easter Parade (1948) with Astaire and Judy Garland.

.In this film, The Pied Pipers brought back Johnny Mercer's endearing ballad "Dream," which had provided the quartet with a best-selling Capitol single in 1945
