Too Hot To Handle - Fred and Ginger

- A dance number of Fred Astaire and Ginger Roger's in Roberta (1935). It's actually called "Hard to Handle", but I think they're just hot in their teasing manner here. This is one of their most fun-loving routines, including the signature bugle call. Credit to Warner Bros.

Looks like they're just messing around. Of course, it took hours and hours of practice to make it look like that.

Cool to watch people who are really, really good at what they are doing.
