Top Hat

Presented by British Film Institute
£10 - £2.50
Hyde Park Picture House
Black and white still. A man in a suit and white bowtie glances across at a woman dressed in a glamorous dress and make-up.

An undeniable classic, screwball musical comedy Top Hat stars legendary duo Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

American dancer Jerry (Fred Astaire) comes to London to star in a show produced by bumbling Horace (Edward Everett Horton). Desperate to impress, he rehearses his tap-dancing in his hotel room much to the dismay of the sleeping woman (Ginger Rogers) below. When he meets up to apologise she is understandably annoyed, he is understandably smitten but naturally sparks fly.

Set in 1920s London and Venice, and featuring lavish Art Deco sets, this fun mistaken-identity tale is further enhanced by a wonderfully eccentric support cast.
