Cast: - Fred Astaire (Jerry Travers) - Ginger Rogers (Dale Tremont) - Edward Everett Horton (Horace Hardwick) - Erik Rhodes (Alberto Beddini) - Eric Blore (Bates) - Helen Broderick (Madge Hardwick) - Lucille Ball (Flower Clerk) - Gino Corrado (Venice Hotel Manager) - Leonard Mudie (Flower Salesman)Summary: Top Hat is a 1935 screwball comedy musical film in which Fred Astaire plays an American dancer named Jerry Travers, who comes to London to star in a show produced by Horace Hardwick (Edward Everett Horton). He meets and attempts to impress Dale Tremont (Ginger Rogers) to win her affection. The film also features Eric Blore as Hardwick's valet Bates, Erik Rhodes as Alberto Beddini, a fashion designer and rival for Dale's affections, and Helen Broderick as Hardwick's long-suffering wife Madge. The film was written by Allan Scott and Dwight Taylor. It was directed by Mark Sandrich. The songs were written by Irving Berlin. "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" and "Cheek to Cheek" have become American song classics. It has been nostalgically referenced — particularly its "Cheek to Cheek" segment — in many films, including The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and The Green Mile (1999). Top Hat was the most successful picture of Astaire and Rogers' partnership (and Astaire's second most successful picture after Easter Parade), achieving second place in worldwide box-office receipts for 1935.[2] While some dance critics maintain that Swing Time contained a finer set of dances,[2][3] Top Hat remains, to this day, the partnership's best-known work.[4]
