One Top Hat...

When I say ‘Top Hat’ I am not just referring to the actual hat I am also referring to the 1935 film by the same name. 

Staring Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers it was the beginning of a long partnership between the two actors. This film epitomises the elegance and glamour of this age, with its dancing and singing numbers ‘Top Hat’ and ‘Isn’t this a lovely day’ (which you might recognise from a Fisher and Pikel ad a few years ago) by Irving Berlin.

‘Top Hat’ is a very light hearted comedy. However it is combination of the extravagant sets and the dance numbers that make it a film you can’t help but remember and love. On a side note Fred Astair said later that he disliked the top hat, white tie and tails, ironic since it was the top hat which made him famous!
