For those of you who love vintage fashions, you have to check out the 1935 movie Roberta.  New Year’s Eve I wasn’t feeling well and Rich went to the party alone.  After a nap, I decided to watch some free movies from TCM.  I hadn’t ever heard of Roberta but it had Fred and Ginger so it must be entertaining at the least, right?  Oh my Bob…  

The premise of the story is that the male lead inherits a fantastic Parisian couture house.  Which means loads of dresses and a fashion show at the end.  I only wish it was in Technicolor!  If you’ve ever watched The Women and fast-forwarded to the fashion show (which I’m guilty of) then you must check out Roberta! It’s twice the clothes and lots of really good mugging for the camera.  I read on IMDB that they remade the story at MGM and called it Lovely To Look At (1952) with the fashions done all by Adrian.  I’m looking for it at Blockbuster or on Amazon right now!
