Gay Divorcee, The (1934)

In the old days, if your marriage wasn't working, you could hire a correspondent, someone with whom your husband could catch you, in order to obtain a divorce. Ginger Rogers is just such a gal, so her Aunt (Alice Brady) hires an Italian (played by Erik Rhodes), who's actually a happily married man himself, as the professional to do the trick. But there is a mix-up, and American dancer Guy Holden (Fred Astaire) is mistaken for the correspondent. Typical Astaire-Rogers farce with Edward Everett Horton & Eric Blore providing their usual, humorous support in a film designed to exhibit great dancing and songs, including the Academy Award winning song "The Continental". This musical, romance comedy received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Art Direction, Sound, and Score as well. Directed by Mark Sandrich, Betty Grable also appears.
