The Gay Divorcee 04/14/26

Some movies just knock us for a loop. This first official starring vehicle for Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is delightful entertainment, the kind of psychological medicine that makes the world seem right again. The cast is so good, the guy playing the waiter deserves star billing. All that and a giant musical number — plus the introduction of one of the top romantic melodies of the 20th century, Night and Day. Fred and Ginger’s dancing duets are pieces of heaven guaranteed to cheer up most anybody. A new digital restoration makes the images look as if they were filmed yesterday. Includes a battery of surprise extras. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
