Plot Sypnosis:

After supporting roles in "Flying Down to Rio" sent their movie careers soaring, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers starred for the first time in this witty and delightful escapade about marriage, divorce and all the romantic complications that come in between. The Gay Divorcee set the style, tone, and behind-the-camera talents for the Astaire/Rogers classics to come and captured five Academy Award® nominations including Best Picture*. Musical highlights here include the 17-minute marvel The Continental (the first Oscar®-winner for Best Song) and Cole Porter's haunting Night and Day. Indeed, "if Astaire and Rogers had never danced a lick after Night and Day, they still would have been screen immortals" (The Movie Guide). Now 92 years after its premiere, this cherished classic can be experienced as it was meant to be seen, with this Blu-ray disc revealing a stunning restoration from a 4K scan of the original nitrate camera negative.
