Lucille Bremer and Fred Astaire in Yolanda and the Thief (1945)
Belgian collectors card by Kwatta, Bois d'Haine, no. C. 171. Photo: M.G.M.Lucille Bremer and Fred Astaire in Yolanda and the Thief (Vincente Minnelli, 1945).
American dancer and actor Fred Astaire (1899-1987) was a unique dancer with his top hat and tails, his uncanny sense of rhythm, perfectionism, and innovation. He began his highly successful partnership with Ginger Rogers in Flying Down to Rio (1933). They danced together in 10 musicals in which he made all song and dance routines integral to the plotlines. Another innovation was that a closely tracking dolly camera filmed his dance routines in as few shots as possible.
