Flying Down to Rio

By movieMoll on May 7, 2009

Although they were not the lead actors in this film, “Flying Down to Rio” was the first pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Follow the Fleet

By movieMoll on March 16, 2009

Most critics won’t agree, but I’m an Astaire-Rogers fan and “Follow the Fleet” is my favorite Fred and Ginger film. The storyline is better than their usual mistaken identity plots.

You’ll definitely [...]

Shadow of the Thin Man

By movieMoll on March 13, 2009

Movie sequels are seldom satisfying, but the Thin Man Series is an exception. “Shadow of the Thin Man,” the fourth entry in the six-film series, is a rollicking ride with Nick Charles (William Powell) solving the death of a jockey and two subsequent murders in the seedy world of gambling. There’s an interesting mystery and [...]
