Swing Time!!!...well... just finished up viewing perhaps Ginger and Fred's best effort, Swing Time!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K6iE1_Gw-Cw/V4HVxZAJWtI/AAAAAAAAOAc/xeQKOJWd7owoBjWvQCQdJCrVR7XM7hIOgCLcB/s1600/SwingTimePOSTER-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K6iE1_Gw-Cw/V4HVxZAJWtI/AAAAAAAAOAc/xeQKOJWd7owoBjWvQCQdJCrVR7XM7hIOgCLcB/s320/SwingTimePOSTER-09.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>
...the GingerBinge Summer 2016 was initiated to allow Hu another opportunity to watch the (nearly) complete catalog of Gingerfilms, check out 'subtleties' of the films I know well, learn more about the ones I don't, and to 'bolster' the Gingerfilm blogs such as the one you are perusing at the present...<br />
<br />
Of course, most Gingerologists have seen Swing Time quite a few times, and are very familiar with it... but it is truly one of those films you can never tire of... you know each scene, the dialog, the 'endgame'... yet it still is great to watch...<br />
<br />
So, here are some of the moments I 'caught' upon this viewing...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...this one's pretty awesome... would make a great 'blog header pic'... yupyupyup... shore would, y'all... <br />
<br />
Of course, there are incedible dance routines throughout this one, but for me to try to dissect each one would be purt near impossible, given the time constraints we have here at Gingerology (heck, I could write up a post for each single routine...although I am, at last count, 456th from LAST on Planet Earth when it comes to knowledge of dancing... suffice it to say, EVERYthing I know about hoofing I have learned from watching our heroine and hero here...) ...so, maybe a few pics here and there in this post, but... the final word is... if you've never watched this film, it's worth it just for the dance 'routines'... some of the best ever caught on film...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...it's a subtle thing, really... but I always notice how Ginger, as well as Fred, are generally all smiles for most of their 'routines' (excluding the 'epic' ones, which call for the 'serious' demeanor)... but the smiles generally indicate they are HAPPY doing what they are doing, although we KNOW whichever routine we are watching at the time was practiced dozens of times until they were slap wore out... makes you appreciate the final product even more... and want to applaud these folks that much more.<br /><br />
I always thought that the 'hair washing' scene (The Way You Look Tonight) was always cute / cool, but after freezing the Ginger frames... dangdangDANG, y'all...<br />

...not sure what the deal is, but Ginger is just... a bit MORE perfect to me when she is in some state of 'getting ready'... can't explain it, but... just... IS. rumpled GingerHair is SOOOOO incredible... and yeah, I know Ginger has full makeup on and all, but... STILL... <br />

...during this scene Ginger stands in the 'first doorway' and looks up and over, which is SUCH a patented GingerMove... Gingerologists will spot it right away... THAT would be a GIF for the ages... I'll try to figure out that stuff and post it sometime... ...ok, Hu is perhaps a bit more dangerous as of this moment...<br />

...and if Hu was given THIS look by Ginger... he would most likely spontaneously combust and disintegrate... <br />

...maybe stretching it a bit, but as we know the 'backstory' between Ginger and director George Stevens, dontchathink the 'hit and miss in the snow' scene hit pretty close to home for Mr. Stevens? Just sayin'...<br />
<br />
...and just in case anyone ever questions whether Ginger can twirl, Exhibit 'A':<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

...our girl HAD to have perfect inner ear equilibrium as well, right? (and I'm diggin' this GIF-making thing, y'all... look out... props to HoneyCam... so easy, even the Huster can work it!!!)<br />
<br />
Well, this film is truly one of my favorites... the 'Never Gonna Dance' routine is hard to top in terms of G&F dance 'routine' nirvana... and the story line overall is just a bit more involved and interesting then their previous films (although the ending sorta falls apart... of course, HAPPY... but... just a bit disjointed... and Ginger has too much extraneous stuff coiled around her neck in the final scene costume, IMHO... and the veil thingy covers her face too much, which should be a Federal Crime at the highest level...)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway, of course this one is MANDATORY Gingerologist viewing (duh), so I suggest... you WATCH it!!!<br />
<br />
Until the Next GingerBinge film,<br />
<br />
KIG, y'all!!!<br />
