The Northbrook Public Library seems to be starting a series of Fred Astaire screenings. This first film, Roberta, is a mishmash of characters, co-starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, although the main headliner is Irene Dunne, as you can see from the poster. The premise is that a football player (a wholesome Randolph Scott) has inherited his aunt's fashion shop, where he falls for the aunt's true designer, played by Irene Dunne. There is no character named Roberta in the film, in fact it is the name of the fashion shop (although the aunt who owns it is named Minnie--confusing, huh?) The original source material is a novel called "Gowns by Roberta."
