The Astaire Story

A beloved collaboration between Fred Astaire and a clutch of legendary jazz musicians, The Astaire Story, is being rediscovered on CD for its 65th anniversary. "The history of dance on film begins and ends with Astaire," Gene Kelly once declared. The versatile performer, born Frederick Austerlitz in 1899, revolutionized the way footwork was shown on screen in more than two dozen films, with everyone from Rudolf Nuryev to Michael Jackson citing him as an influence. But Astaire was a capable
