Too Hot To Handle: Fred & Ginger 💓

True perfection! A dance number from the film 'Roberta,' 1935. 📽

It's actually called 'Hard to Handle' and the couple's teasing manner comes through well.

This is one of the most fun- loving routines, 💕including the signature bugle call.

.. 🎬 1935 FILM. The play was made into a 1935 film by RKO starring Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, and Randolph Scott. The film omitted "The Touch of Your Hand" (sung by a minor character), "Something Had To Happen", and "You're Devastating" (originally Middleton's big song in the show), but added the Kern songs "I Won't Dance" (lifted from the flop Kern show Three Sisters) and "Lovely to Look At" (written for the 1935 film and nominated for an Academy Award).
