Irving Berlin’s classic songs Cheek to Cheek and Top Hat, White Tie and Tails are great, and Astaire swirls on a forward-tilting gyroscopic axis with his spindly arms and legs effortlessly orbiting him like Saturn’s moons.

What is Top Hat about? Toggle content

"Top Hat" is a classic romantic comedy set in London and Venice, featuring the unforgettable duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Jerry Travers, a charming American dancer, comes to London to star in a show produced by the bumbling Horace Hardwick. When Jerry rehearses his tap dance routine in his hotel room, he inadvertently awakens Dale Tremont, a stunning model staying in the room below. Dale storms upstairs to complain, only to find herself falling for Jerry's charms. However, a series of hilarious misunderstandings ensues when Dale mistakes Jerry for Horace, who is married to her friend Madge. As Jerry pursues Dale across London and later in Venice, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including the fashion designer Alberto Beddini and his malapropisms. With its memorable soundtrack featuring Irving Berlin classics like "Cheek to Cheek" and "The Piccolino," "Top Hat" is an enchanting tale of love, laughter, and mistaken identities that will leave you dancing with joy.
