Poetic Film Review: Roberta (1935)

in #movies26 days ago

(source: tmdb.org

In the golden age of Hollywood, they danced,
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers entranced.
Their chemistry on screen was undeniable,
But in "Roberta," their magic seemed unreliable.

Based on a Broadway musical of fame,
The film lacked the spark of their previous acclaim.
Irene Dunne held her own in the cast,
But Astaire and Rogers were unsurpassed.

A tale of love, fashion, and jealousy,
With a predictable plot that lacked complexity.
Though the dance numbers were a delight,
The film as a whole failed to take flight.

Despite its flaws, "Roberta" was a hit,
A classic that many still commit.
For fans of old Hollywood charm,
This film may still hold some charm.

But in the end, it falls short of their best,
An Astaire-Rogers film that failed the test.
For those seeking true movie magic,
"Roberta" may not work its classic.
