Frank Collieson Hats, sticks, umbrellas, raincoats, quick-fitting trousers belted with silk ties: the enduring relaxed elegance of Fred Astaire, achieved only by genius and the hardest work. 10 May 2008 - Cambridge, UK Chris C | @ I first watched Fred and Ginger when my girlfriend suggested it. We watched Swing Time and it was perhaps one of the most incredible films I have seen to date! We then followed with all the others and I couldn’t help but love each one. They had something that I think now actor of this age nor any age can achieve. They style, the music, the dances are incredible. I'm only 21 and probably wouldn’t have come across these films myself, however I am very grateful to my girlfriend for the suggestion as I have never regretted it. 30 April 2008 - Shrewsbury, UK Mary N. Shelton | @ Fred was born the same year as my father - both have always been a model for me to fashion myself on. There will never be another Fred Astaire - the people now dancing do not have the commitment that Fred had. I think that anyone aspiring to become a movie star should have to watch some of his movies so they can see for themselves what commitment is. 10 April 2008 - formerly Chattanooga, Tn. now Westminster, Ca Derrick Johnson | @ I would just like to say to the family of Fred Astaire, that I have enjoyed most of my life watching and being entertained by Fred Astaire, I shall never forget his contribution to film, song and dance. Theres only a few who has been so dedicated to their craft and talent. I pray that millions have been as happy as I am to see him on tv from time to time. 21 March 2008 - Detroit , Area JJ | @ I have now seen Story of Vernon and Irene Castle 4 times.within a couple of months of each other. And it seems no matter how many times I watch it, I burst into tears of sadness at the end. IT'S SO INCREDIBLY SAD!!!
