Commentary
When you hear the name Ginger Rogers, what comes to your mind? This classic movie star is best remembered for the nine musicals she made with her dancing partner Fred Astaire, starting in 1933. However, by the late 1930s, they had made eight musical comedies together, and Rogers was tired of being primarily associated with her hoofer co-star. Determined to prove her worth as a dramatic actress, she branched out on her own in non-musical films after their eighth pairing.
