Synopsis
By 1937, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had made seven films together, and were among the country´s top box office attractions. But both of them were anxious to break out on their own and escape their identity as a screen team. Rogers in particular did not want to do only musicals, and was eager to try drama. So RKO reluctantly agreed to let them take a break and work separately. Astaire made A Damsel in Distress (1937), with a non-dancing co-star, Joan Fontaine, and Rogers made three non-musical films, including the critically acclaimed Stage Door (1937). Although Rogers´ role in that film, a wisecracking showgirl who rooms with rich-girl actress Katharine Hepburn, was primarily comic, there was plenty of drama in the film and Rogers was finally being taken seriously as an actress.
