Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers star in arguably their finest film together; packed with exhilarating dance routines and a marvellous score, this is an indispensable musical classic! Swing Time is full of magical moments including a complex and delightful routine to Pick Yourself Up, a luminous turn to Waltz In Swing Time and Astaire's breathtaking solo to Bojangles of Harlem.
