Run Time — 103 minutes
Event Navigation
A performer and gambler travels to New York City to raise the $25,000 he needs to marry his fiancée, only to become entangled with a beautiful aspiring dancer. Pre-show entertainment in partnership with Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance presents Free Instructional Dance Class with Harlem One Stop at 7:30pm. In the case of inclement weather, the pre-show & screening will be moved indoors to Culture Hub at 440 West 202nd Street.
Swing Time is often named as the best or most popular musical/romance of dancing duo Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The film’s most indelible image is that of Fred Astaire, immaculately attired in top hat and tails, hopping a freight car — a perfect encapsulation of the film’s Depression-era cheekiness. The Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields score includes such standards-to-be as Pick Yourself Up, A Fine Romance, The Way You Look Tonight, Never Gonna Dance and Bojangles of Harlem.
