Wolfson, Featuring: Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edward Everett Horton Synopsis: A ballet dancer and a showgirl fake a marriage for publicity purposes, then fall in love. Note that most the music is from George and Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin – who had become famous for blending jazz with classical forms – wrote each scene in a different style of dance music despite already suffering during the production of the motion picture from the brain tumor that was shortly to kill him. Nathaniel Shilkret, musical director for the movie, hired Jimmy Dorsey and all or part of the Dorsey band as the nucleus of a fifty-piece studio orchestra including strings. Dorsey is heard soloing on "Slap That Bass", "Walking the Dog" and "They All Laughed."
