[Despite] a lack of anything very virile, the film, the film has definite beauty... Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are technically excellent.

If joy and liberation exudes from the best Astaire-Rogers films, this is defined by restriction.

Perhaps the best the marvelous couple have made since Gay Divorce.

It's not exactly a stretch for Astaire and Rogers, but they do the old rags-to-riches angle seamlessly, and the finale is surprisingly touching.

Lesser Astaire-Rogers vehicle, but pleasant.

Audience Reviews for The Story of Vernon & Irene Castle

Mar 03, 2009And they are gone: ay, ages long ago These lovers fled away into the storm. <p> These lines, the opening of the final stanza of John Keats' <i>The Eve of St. Agnes</i>, come to mind as the long run of Ginger and Fred comes to an end. It's their escape into the realm of legend. <p>Heartbreaking. Although they would reunite through a twist of fate a decade later, this was the last intentional pairing of Rogers and Astaire, the end of their nine film run into cinematic history. <p>Perhaps because this tragic story is based on the real lives of Vernon and Irene Castle, and, of course, the untimely death of Vernon Castle, that story and the end of the Rogers and Astaire dynasty combine for an even sadder double impact. To see them, in the end, dancing off into the distance in Ginger's/Irene's imagination heightens the melancholy of the moment. The characters and the actors are gone, ay ages long ago. The greatest dancing duo in movie history -- then, now, and forever.Lanning : Super Reviewer

Aug 28, 2008Different from other Fred & Ginger movies in being a bio and probably not too factual but great dancing, their chemistry and Edna May Oliver make it a fine entertainment.jay n Super Reviewer
