Top Hat, American musical film, released in 1935, that was the first of the 10 films pairing Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to boast a screenplay written specifically for them.
The film was based on the play The Girl Who Dared. A characteristic vehicle for Astaire and Rogers, it featured a slight story of initially unrequited love, mistaken identities, and a requisite happy ending and allowed for frequent and breathtaking dance numbers starring the leading pair. Astaire played an American dancer appearing in a London stage show, and Rogers was cast as the dress model he falls for at first sight. Their romance is complicated when Rogers’s character mistakenly believes the smitten dancer to be a married man.
