North Ave, HI 2-9766, Milwuakee, WIS, Open Evenings From Wikipedia:The film "A Damsel in Distress" was made at George Gershwin's instigation, an enthusiasm that the writer P.G. Wodehouse mischievously attributed to the fact that his novel was about a successful American songwriter named George Bevan. Gershwin died of brain cancer while the film was in production. It was released four months after his death. For this, the first Astaire RKO film not to feature Ginger Rogers, the nineteen-year-old Fontaine was chosen. It soon emerged that Fontaine could not dance, but Stevens persuaded Astaire not to replace her with Ruby Keeler. The film was the first Astaire film to lose money, costing $1,035,000 to produce and losing $65,000. With "A Foggy Day (in London Town)", Fred Astaire introduced what has become a standard in the Great American Songbook, sung while alternately walking and dancing solo through a wooded landscape. It was later featured heavily in the film The Notorious Landlady, which featured Astaire in a supporting role.
