FRED ASTAIRE: “CHEEK TO CHEEK”This clip is one of the greatest seductions ever put on film. Your screen may go blurry when you reflect on what we have lost over the past 80 years.
This song won Irving an Oscar, and at 72 bars it’s the longest song he ever wrote. Irving on Fred: “The melody keeps going up and up. He crept up there. It didn’t make a damn bit of difference. He made it.”
