“ Nice work if you can get it!” Fred Astaire glides through this effervescent comedy of confused courtship written by master humorist PG Wodehouse. Fred stars as Jerry Halliday an American in England whos lured to Tottleigh castle by a love letter from lovely Lady Alyce Marshmorton (Joan Fontaine). But it wasnt actually Lady Alyce who wrote the letter & – whats more – shes set her heart on someone else! Determined to win her hand Jerry goes a-wooing – if only his helpful staff didnt keep making his life so difficult. Featuring some of George Gershwins finest songs (I Cant Be Bothered Now Things are Looking Up) A Damsel In Distress is one of Fred Astaires funniest & very best loved films.
