Fred Astaire, Bojangles of Harlem from Swing Time (1936)


2:52, b&w, sound

The dancing in Swing Time is some of the best of all the Astaire/Rogers pairings, and Astaire's homage to Bill "Bojangles" Robinson is divine. It is one of the few times Astaire used camera tricks (dancing with shadows of his own figure) on film.
