it's hard to explain what's so damn good about this film. it's not progressive, narratively or stylistically very interesting. its very formulaic in fact but sometimes that's just what i need.
the film has a simple plot revolving around a misunderstanding leading to more misunderstandings. sometimes this type of structure can get very tedious and annoying but the film stays 'grounded' by never straying to far from the core misunderstanding.
the film favors simple but likable characters over deep ones. it's hard however not to fall in love with them. astaire and rogers show off their natural chemistry. but i'd argue the chemistry between the cast as a whole is even stronger. top hat has it's main stars and they do shine but the side characters are memorable in their own right. having some genuine comedic scenes. their existence is earned and ties in beautifully with the main storyline.
still, it's easy to write this film off as some formulaic piece of entertainment. writing it off as such however would be ignoring the craftsmanship that went into every inch of this film. creating something that transcends the formula by following it.
my favorite scene comes when they first dance together. the routine itself, just like all the other ones, is deserving of praise. its joyful, fast paced and entertaining. but what can't be underestimated here is the acting coinciding with the dancing. at first there is distance then a slight hesitation, they move closer and closer until they finally give in and fall in love. the dance perfectly represents the current position in their relationship and moves it forward. the dance, the movement is structured around their relationship. this requires a great deal of craftsmanship in both the acting and dancing department.
this is just one example of what makes the film special for me and i haven't even talked about the songs. who with their inventive lyrics and catchy tunes will stick in your mind forever. the beautifully composed music bolsters the performances and captured the era so well.
look the film is not perfect but its faults just don't bother me. i found it absolutely delightful. its joyful mood is just so infectious and it has me singing and dancing in no time. top hat brightened my day and will do so for many more days to come.
