  Amazon.com: Damsel in Distress: Video: Fred Astaire,George Burns,Gracie Allen,Joan Fontaine,Reginald Gardiner,Ray ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A Damsel in Distress is a lighthearted romp to showcase the classic comedy team of George Burns and Gracie Allen, the classic songwriting team of George and Ira Gershwin, and the classic dance team of Fred Astaire and...
Damsel was filmed in 1937 when Astaire was taking a break after his seventh film with Ginger Rogers, so the 19-year-old Fontaine plays Lady Alyce Marshmorton, a young British woman whose scandalous love life leads to a mistaken-identity problem with American Jerry Halliday (Astaire).
A Damsel in Distress is one of Fred Astaire's lesser celebrated films because of that one missing element: Ginger Rogers.

 A Damsel In Distress by P.G. Wodehouse : Arthur's Classic Novels
The only female in London who did not appear to be attached was a girl in brown who was coming along the sidewalk at a leisurely pace, looking about her in a manner that suggested that she found Piccadilly a new and stimulating spectacle.
He did not know what it was all about, but the one thing that did stand out clearly in the welter of confused happenings was the girl's need for his assistance.
It is distressing to have to reveal the jarring fact that, in his hours of privacy when off duty, this apparently ideal servitor was so far from being a respecter of persons that he was accustomed to speak of Lord Belpher as "Percy", and even as "His Nibs".

 THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS IN POPULAR LITERATURE
The tradition of the captured damsel (it’s perhaps too early to start calling her a heroine) goes back to the nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
The latter, I suggest, became the damsel in distress as in John Willie’s delightfully parodic work starring Sweet Gwendoline; the former is represented by Gwendoline’s friend and dominatrix, Agent U69.
She was the taller of the two, but her height did not avail her; she was like a child matched with a wild-cat.

 A Damsel in Distress
George's request for a lonely furnished cottage somewhere in the neighbourhood of the castle did not, as he had feared, strike the Belpher house-agent as the demand of a lunatic.
In less than half an hour George was out in the street again, the owner for the season of what the agent described as a "gem" and the employer of a farmer's wife who lived near-by and would, as was her custom with artists, come in the morning and evening to "do" for him.
Lord Belpher, while approving of it in theory, as he did of all the family traditions--for he was a great supporter of all things feudal, and took his position as one of the hereditary aristocracy of Great Britain extremely seriously--heartily disliked it in practice.

Anyway, A Damsel in Distress is a musical, and features songs by Ira and George Gershwin.
You'd think she could maybe fling herself at George Burns, who's funny and not as weird-looking as the young Fred Astaire (this is from 1937, before all the Astaire-Rogers movies), but Burns is comic relief, so that's obviously not going to happen.
