"We're going down to The Palace to see the 1935 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie they're showing. I heard that the 'Cheek to Cheek' number is the greatest." Which musical are they going to see?

Answer: Top Hat

Directed by Mark Sandrich, 'Top Hat' earned an Academy Award nomination for best picture of 1935. 'Top Hat' is a classic Astaire/Rogers romp, with a plot that follows Jerry (Astaire) and Dale (Rogers) from England to Italy in a musical celebration of mistaken identity and romantic pursuit. 'Top Hat', 'Isn't it a Lovely Day' and 'Cheek to Cheek' are just a few of the movie's memorable numbers.
2. "We are going to see '42nd Street' tonight," Millie announces as Harold uncaps a beer. "Did Errol Flynn and Jimmy Stewart quit making movies?" Harold mutters, taking a swig. "No, but we didn't see it when it first came out," Millie says, grabbing the beer and taking a big gulp. "I absolutely love the dance director who does those killer numbers." Which choreographer is Millie talking about?

Answer: Busby Berkeley

Busby Berkeley began his career choreographing for Broadway productions in the 1920s, and in the 1930s moved on to choreographing, and later directing, films. Known for his elaborate and lavish style, he often created complex geometrically-based routines. Among some of his best known films are 1933's 'Footlight Parade' and 1934's 'Dames'. '42nd Street' premiered in 1933, and starred Ginger Rogers, Ruby Keeler, Warner Baxter and Dick Powell. Set during the Depression, '42nd Street' is based on the making of a musical, the arrival of a newcomer to the show, and the backstage jealousies, intrigues, romances and general shenanigans that wove the show together while also threatening to tear it apart. 'Shuffle off to Buffalo' and 'You're Beginning to be a Habit with Me' are two of the outstanding numbers that make the movie memorable.
3. "Millie, my sly fly girl," Harold says, grabbing Millie and swinging her around. "What's the buzz tonight?" Millie giggles and says, "The buzz says we should see that Disney movie with the dancing hippos. I heard it's the absolute end." What 1940 Disney movie are they going to see?

Answer: Fantasia

A truly innovative film, 'Fantasia' is divided into eight sequences which comprise a classical concert accompanied by long-eyelashed elephants, caped alligators, dancing Chinese mushrooms and, of course, Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Leopold Stokowski expertly conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra through pieces by Tchaikovsky, Bach, Stravinsky, Beethoven and other masters.

The movie had eleven directors under the supervision of Ben Sharpsteen.

Answer: Yankee Doodle Dandy

The musical extravaganza 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' details the life of song-and-dance man George M. Cohan. Told in flashback by Cohan to FDR, Cagney invests his character with quiet sincerity, and won an Oscar for his brilliant performance. 'Over There', 'Give My Regards to Broadway' and 'Grand Old Flag' are just three of the musical numbers that make the film irresistible.
James Cagney played Cohan again in 1955's 'The Seven Little Foys'.
In 1936, George M. Cohan was the first performer to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
5. "I'm totally tuckered," Harold gripes as he slumps onto the couch. "I know just what you need," Millie says, flouncing down beside him and grabbing his hand.

Answer: Footlight Parade

6. "There's another old movie playing at The Palace," Millie announces. "Of course there is," Harold mumbles,scanning the newspaper's front page. "Is it a war movie?" "No, it's a showgirl musical. And it stars Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler and Warren William." What 1933 movie is she talking about?

Answer: Gold Diggers of 1933

This bawdy, wisecracking musical, set during the Depression, revolves around a group of Broadway showgirls struggling to get by, doing whatever they must - including 'gold-digging' among rich men - in order to survive.
The film's 'Remember My Forgotten Man' and 'We're in the Money' are both rousing foot-stomping numbers.
7. "Brr," Harold says, slapping the snow off his sleeves, "I'm glad as plaid to be home." "Don't be too glad," Millie says, giving Harold a quick buzz on the cheek. "We're going out to dinner with your parents, and then we're all going to see the Judy Garland movie. The one with Frank Morgan and Margaret Hamilton." Which 1939 musical are they going to see?

Answer: The Wizard of Oz

A true classic, the film 'The Wizard of Oz' was based on the book written by L. Frank Baum, and was directed by Victor Fleming. The story follows a Kansas girl transported by tornado to another world, her adventures with an eclectic group of Oz inhabitants, and her quest to return home.

Besides Garland, Morgan and Hamilton, the film boasts fine performances by Billie Burke, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley.

Harold tips his hat again and says, "No, it's Judy Garland." Which 1939 musical did he pick?

Answer: Babes in Arms

A vintage Mickey Rooney film, full of energy and irrepressible eagerness, 'Babes in Arms' earned Rooney an Academy Award nomination for best actor of 1939. The film was directed by Busby Berkeley.
Trying to save both his, and his friends', ex-vaudeville parents from financial ruin, Rooney is determined to stage a fundraiser. The ensuing glitches and wishes and successes prompt singing and dancing that is non-stop entertainment. 'Babes In Arms' was the first successful costarring vehicle for Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
9. "I'm feeling like a gloomy Gus," Harold says, yawning. "I know just the thing to happify you," Millie says, kicking off her houseshoes. "Let's go see the Astaire and Rogers musical. The number that won an Oscar - 'The Way You Look Tonight' - should get you grinning!" Which 1936 musical are they going to see?

Answer: Swing Time

'Swing Time' is a song and dance spectacle which showcases the on-screen chemistry between Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Playing a professional hoofer and gambler, Astaire needs to earn $25,000 in order to marry his betrothed. During his quest for the money, he falls in love with Rogers, and subsequently does everything possible to avoid coming into the money.

The movie has several delightful numbers, including 'Bojangles in Harlem', 'A Fine Romance' and 'Pick Yourself Up'.
10. "I love musicals," Millie says, leaning against Harold's side. "I know," Harold says, steering into the moviehouse's parking lot, "Musicals are all we've seen for weeks."

'You Can Count on Me', 'Prehistoric Man' and 'Come Up to My Place' are just a few of the toe-tapping numbers that enliven this musical.

The song 'New York, New York' won an Oscar for best song.
