frills over onyx

Wow, does that ever look like fun!
This is a great title sequence-
graceful, curvilinear, flowery,
and completely unlike the design of the film itself.
Just like Fred and Ginger with their
graceful steps and her frilled gowns gliding
over the hard flat Art Deco sets.
Its a contrasting platform that serves to highlight the art of the dance
of the hands and of the feet.
