踢踏老電影系列-Shall We Dance 隨我婆娑

最近買了一系列踢踏老電影小海報，

由Fred Astair 跟 Ginger Rogers 主演，

兩位都是1930年代的大明星，

還在想要貼在店裡的哪個位置，

順便跟大家介紹一下這些老電影，

並分享其中的踢踏橋段。

首先是這部 

Shall We Dance 隨我婆娑（不知誰人翻譯...）

1937年發行，兩人合作的第七部電影

故事大綱

彼得（Fred飾），一位想要融合古典芭蕾與現代爵士的美國芭蕾舞者，偶然有一天當他看見知名踢踏舞者Linda(Ginger 飾)的照片，瞬間對她一見鍾情（相信當年的照片修圖技術，本人與照片應該相差不遠）。彼得想方設法去見她一面，但她卻不屑一顧。直到在回紐約的遊輪上再次相遇互動，她才開始有好感並且相愛而結婚。後來又懷疑彼得與另外一個女人糾纏不清，而在不給他解釋的機會下，憤而離開（有一種本土八點檔的感覺），過了一陣子，準備離婚協議書到彼得最新的舞台秀想要簽字離婚，才發現他在新秀中有一堆女人幫他伴舞，每一個都戴著Linda的面具，因為彼得決定如果他不能跟Linda本人一起跳舞，他將和Linda的樣子一起跳舞（感覺變態）。發現這件事後，Linda快樂站上舞台跟他一起共舞（最後過著幸福快樂的日子，通常是這樣）。

感覺最後的橋段一定曾經啟發唐伯虎點秋香的導演

片中三段踢踏歌舞橋段

They All Laughed

在Linda唱歌之後，Peter被臨時邀請上台共舞，

Linda從本來不知如何搭配，到輕快的踢踏合舞，

算是本片中間的小高潮。

                                 Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

這段非常特別的是，

在紐約的中央公園穿著溜冰鞋跳踢踏，

跳舞之前的情歌也相當可愛，

也有很多人翻唱，

講述著兩人在相處時，各有各的喜好，

看起來好像分開最好，

但又因為不願承受分開的心碎，

決定彼此接受彼此妥協。

                                 Shall We Dance

如大綱提及的最後面具橋段，

踢踏比重不太多，但面具相當有創意。

Peter P. Peters (Fred Astaire), an American ballet dancer billed as "Petrov", dances for a ballet company in Paris owned by the bumbling Jeffrey Baird (Edward Everett Horton). Peters secretly wants to blend classical ballet with modern jazz dancing, and when he sees a photo of famous tap dancer Linda Keene (Ginger Rogers), he falls in love with her. He contrives to meet her, but she is less than impressed. They meet again on an ocean liner traveling back to New York, and Linda warms to Petrov. Unknown to them, a plot is launched as a publicity stunt "proving" that they are actually married. Outraged, Linda becomes engaged to the bumbling Jim Montgomery (William Brisbane), much to the chagrin of both Peters and Arthur Miller (Jerome Cowan), her manager, who secretly launches more fake publicity.

Peters and Keene, unable to squelch the rumor, decide to actually marry and then immediately get divorced. Linda begins to fall in love with her husband, but then discovers him with another woman, Lady Denise Tarrington (Ketti Gallian), and leaves before he can explain. Later, when she comes to his new show to personally serve him divorce papers, she sees him dancing with dozens of women, all wearing masks with her face on them: Peters has decided that if he cannot dance with Linda, he will dance with images of Linda. Seeing that he truly loves her, she happily joins him onstage.
