A tropical burst of rain erupted this Saturday in Utter Despair. It has been hot, humid and disgusting. It feels like a steam pipe burst open and has been directed right at your body; within minutes you are drenched in perspiration. Of course, with the dog days of August one must expect sudden rain storms with or without thunder and lightning. This Saturday, let us listen to the music of Irving Berlin and the voice and fantastic footwork of Fred Astaire from Top Hat ... it might perk you up on this dreary day. (Top Hat is one of THE FUTURIST!'s top 10 favorite films!)
ISN'T IT A LOVELY DAY
from the film TOP HAT (1935)
performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

I love Top Hat! It's my favourite musical. Haven't watched it in ages, though. Time for another viewing, I think!
Dara:
TOP HAT is one of the grandest musicals ever made. It's the best of the Astaire/Rogers pictures, in THE FUTURIST!'s humble opinion. Many espouse SWINGTIME as the best, but we beg to differ. And, remember TOP HAT is ALWAYS worth another viewing!
