Well, that appears to be my own observation. I know Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were very popular in the 30's, and I like dancing, but their style is not really what I enjoy watching.
Of the 30's films I have seen in their entirety and can recall:....
Duck Soup - 33'
King Kong - 33'
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 37'
Gone With The Wind - 39'
The Wizard Of Oz - 39'
....I have seen them because they are considered standouts or classics from the era and are often cited. I enjoyed them all, except for Duck Soup which I thought was stupid, and I think I attempted to get through Top Hat but lost interest. I really don't believe this era of cinema is what it has been cracked up to be, apart from a few diamonds amongst the rough.
I'm with you on the Marx Brothers. I cannot stand their brand of humor. I do not get them at all.
I've seen one Astaire & Rogers movie. I don't even remember which one. I guess Fred Astaire is an excellent dancer, but whatever... I do like Ginger Rogers in general. She could be a very funny lady.
