A couple of years ago, I first saw actress Ginger Rogers in the movie: "A Shriek In The Night" (1933). (She didn't even dance in the movie!) It was included in one of those cheap 50 Horror Film DVD Collection Sets.
After I saw the movie, I thought she was something special... Then I started watching many of her other films, including the 10 Dancing Musical films she did with Fred Astaire... And I realized I was right. I have not seen all of her 73 movies, but I have seen a lot of them. I have enjoyed almost all of her performances. It's no wonder she was one of RKO's biggest stars, and was able to pick and star in the films she wanted to do...
While I liked Grease (1978) for years, I have never been a big fan of musicals. Since, Ginger Rogers has a reputation of being "In Those Musicals", that is probably why I never considered watching her movies when I was younger. I know many other people feel the same way, and it is very sad, that because of that reason, that they will pass on seeing many of her other movies...
