Swing Time - Rogers and Astaire

this is appropriate to watch after The Nicholas Brothers,  note that Fred Astaire is wearing, "spats", those are the white covers on his shoes.  They were worn by the military and civilians to keep mud off your ankles, back in the 30's and 30's and early 40's.  Fred had a taste for dressing, and knew the value of having the eye attracted to his feet as he danced.
