I saw a couple of Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers films.

Follow the Fleet (1936) which also starred Randolph Scott and also featured Lucille Ball and Betty Grable. Not bad, though I could have done without the Astaire chewing gum for much of the first third of the film. The opening song is We Saw the Sea (and what did we see, we saw the sea). The final number is the classic Let's Face the Music and Dance.

 

Shall we Dance (1937) which also had Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore (both in other Astaire/Rogers films). Let's Call the Whole Thing Off is in this film.

The final routine is Shall we Dance. The first half is a ballet scene with Astaire and the extraordinarily flexible Harriet Hoctor who was a ballerina. So flexible that she could touch her toes by bending backwards. The scene is the equivalent of what Gene Kelly did years later in the Broadway Melody section of Singin' in the Rain.
