| 1. |  | Funny Face from Paramount Home Video Price: $12.29 Movie Review: Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn pair-up to give the viewer a glimpse of glamour and romance in the late '50's. The fashions are fabulous, thanks to Givenchy and a Paris backdrop. Fred Astaire's dance numbers are not as crisp as his earlier films, but are classic Astaire none-the-less and thoroughly... |

| 2. |  | On the Beach from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $13.01 Movie Review: The epigraph at the beginning of the book, "On the Beach" is part of a poem from T.S. Eliot: "this is how the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper." I read the book first, then watched the movie, and would recommend both to everyone. The movie is a fair portrayal of the book, and the cast is... |

| 3. |  | You Were Never Lovelier from Columbia Tristar Hom Price: $21.22 Movie Review: A delightful comedic pairing of the ever-babilicious Rita Hayworth and the ever-dashing Fred Astaire... A followup to their earlier hit, "You'll Never Be Rich." The pacing on this movie is great -- it hardly drags at all, has a great ensemble and some genuinely funny routines. The action is set in... |

| 4. |  | The Towering Inferno from Twentieth Century Fox Price: $9.98 Movie Review: I remember first seeing this movie at a very early age. As a child, I loved this movie for it's spectacularity. As an adult (sort of), I love it for the acting performances of it's marvelous cast. This is a disaster movie. During the seventies this type of movie was extremely popular, with... |

| 5. |  | You'll Never Get Rich from Columbia Tristar Hom Price: $17.36 Movie Review: The best of two pairings of Astaire and Hayworth on movie. Though Astaire and Rogers claim primacy amongst dancing partners, it is hard to imagine any actress who generates more heat and incandescent charm onscreen than Hayworth. As lovely as he is talented, she holds her own surprisingly well in a... |

| 6. |  | Broadway Melody of 1940 from Warner Home Video Price: $17.38 Movie Review: I admit to being no fan of overblown musicals, but I love this movie. A wonderful little movie, with some big production numbers, Broadway Melody of 1940 revisits the old 'mistaken identity' premise. Our hero Johnny Brett (Fred Astaire) briefly assumes his partner, King Shaw's identity (George... |

| 7. |  | Silk Stockings from Warner Home Video Price: $17.98 Movie Review: In hindsight "Silk Stockings" proved to be one of MGM's last great musical acheivements and Fred Astaire's final appearance in a musical worthy of his inimitable talents. Astaire plays, Steven Canfield, a rotten capitalist and movie producer who butts heads with communist, special envoy, Nina... |

| 8. |  | Gene Kelly - Anatomy of a Dancer from Warner Home Video Price: $22.48 Movie Review: Chalk up another one to American Masters and filmmaker Robert Trachtenberg, who follow their impressive collaboration about George Cukor with this magnificent exploration of the life and times of the magnificent Gene Kelly. The approach of Trachtenberg is unconventional from the first frame, and... |

| 9. |  | Royal Wedding from Goodtimes Home Video Price: $4.95 Movie Review: Royal Wedding is a minor Astaire movie, not even up to Easter Parade, but his dancing was (as always) just amazing. The scene where he dances with a coat-rack is one of my favorites from anyplace (and is clearly an inspiration for Mel Gibson's dance in "What Women Want" -- Mr. Astaire does it... |

| 10. |  | You're the Top: The Cole Porter Story from Winstar Home Entertainment Price: $13.49 Movie Review: 'You're the Top' is a short, but worthwhile trip through the turbulent life of a 20th Century Icon. A great deal of depth and insight is communicated by sharp editing and carefully selected movie clips. Originally this was an hour long Television special. Don't let that put you off, the word... |
