Review of Top Hat

Top Hat (1935)
6/10
It Still Stands Up but Isn't Outstanding
28 October 2021
It can be difficult to review a film like this, when it was made 86 years ago you never know whether to judge it by todays standards or as it would have been perceived when it first released. Fred Astaire is funny even by todays standards and Ginger Rogers is pretty good as well, the dancing is good, the music nice and the sets surprisingly large and extensive, I'm sure that when this first came out the charm and wit was brilliant and the dancing outstanding but by todays standards, while it does stand up it just isn't great. A nice distraction but it does feel pretty standard now a days. Give it a watch but don't expect to have your socks blown off.
