	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
		Vernon and Irene Castle, a husband and wife dance team, were a true sensation of the American vaudeville circuit in the years immediately prior to World War I, but their career was cut short by Vernon's death in the war.
		Vernon and Irene meet, fall in love, become a dance team, and take the world, or at least the civilized part of it, by storm.
		Irene Castle, who served as story consultant, had many clashes with Ginger (unsurprisingly) over clothes, hair length, etc. Her presence also probably helped keep the story wholesome and dignified, although apparently the Castles were more rambunctious than either Fred or Ginger.

		But, when she discovers Vernon is actually a stooge in Fields' comedy routines and doesn't dance at all, she goes backstage to give him a piece of her mind.
		Finally, the story of the Castles is interesting from a historical perspective -- not so much as a demonstration of their innovation and influence however, but rather as a reminder of what dancing looked like before Ginger and Fred came along.
		Overall, CASTLES is not as rousing as the other Rogers-Astaire films, but it is still worth seeing if for no other reason than it helps the audience to better appreciate the singular influence of Fred and Ginger and their films on the evolution of dance in the 20th century.

		The film's production was hampered by the on-set presence of the real Irene Castle, whose insistence upon accuracy at all costs drove everyone to distraction--especially Ginger Rogers, who felt as though she was being treated like a marionette rather than an actress.

		Vernon and Irene Castle were a massively popular dance team in the 1910s, and this is based on their story.
		The problem is that it is largely a story much like any other, and it looks clichéd.
		The last sequence, with Irene looking out to the terrace after hearing of her husband's fatal accident, and seeing a ghostly depiction of the Castles dancing round, is just trite, and probably does the real couple no favours!

		It was the touch of finger tips, a hand on the waist, a longing look and a smile, and a graceful spin; it was Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, making love while they danced into our hearts and stayed there.
		This boxed set represents the second half of the Astaire/Rogers series, and in these five films the two stars have shed their early gauchness and uncertainty and become a real team capable of anything from high comedy to moments of tragedy.
		"Carefree" and "The Castles" are attempts to change the formula of the series that both have lovely moments.
