"Swing Time" - Timeless Tuesday

Swing Time is a movie starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It is one of those films that really is timeless. It came out in 1936 and is regarded as Astaire & Rogers' greatest film together. A brief synopsis from IMDB.com:

Lucky is tricked into missing his wedding to Margaret by the other members of Pop's magic and dance act, and has to make $25000 to be allowed to marry her. He and Pop go to New York where they run into Penny, a dancing instructor. She and Lucky form a successful dance partnership, but romance is blighted (till the end of the film at least!) by his old attachment to Margaret and hers for Ricardo, the band leader who won't play for them to dance together.

 There is something about the clothes and dancing in this movie that make it timeless. The plot isn't what one would call, captivating, but the visuals in this movie combined with the funny exchanges make this one of the all time great movies. All one has to do is look at the pictures and clips to understand the magic of this movie. And needless to say, looking at Ginger Rogers makes one wonder if she was an Angel that fell from heaven.

People have asked me how "Timeless Tuesdays" fit into the theme of this blog. I think that if we can see the intrinsic goodness in things that aren't directly related to the Sacred, we should easily be able to find the timelessness and intrinsic beauty in the Sacred itself.
