Ginger & Fred Movie Review 1986

An acclaimed story of Fellini-esque poignancy about an aging dance team. Years before they had gained success by reverently impersonating the famous dancing duo of Astaire and Rogers. Now, after 30 years, they reunite under the gaudy lights of a high-tech TV special. Wonderful performances by the aging Mastroianni and the still sweet Masina. Italian with English subtitles.
