The Northbrook Public Library continues with another Fred Astaire film. Swing Time is one of the better known of the Astaire and Rogers films, but the premise is just as flimsy to build some songs and dances around. This film includes the Bojangles of Harlem song and dance routine, where Fred dances in blackface to copies of his shadow. It is meant to be a tribute to Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who as the song states, is more famous than the President (who, in 1936 when this film was made, was Franklin Roosevelt).
