Fred was stunned when Ginger invited him up to her hotel room at midnight.
Unknowingly, Fred had said the quote that told Ginger he was the co-respondent in the phony tryst to get her divorce. Now in her room, Fred is baffled by the way Ginger is acting. They finally figure it out.
With matters settled, they have to wait out the evening for this legal manuever. The band below starts to play, leading to the big dance scene of the movie, the Continental.
By big I mean 16 1/2 minutes long. The song is sung beautifully by Ginger,
but also by Eric Rhodes and Lillian Miles. It is dance beautifully by Fred and Ginger, but also by a large ensamble in a Busby Berkley style of quick cuts.
I cut quickly through the other scenes and concentrate on Fred and Ginger.
