Common card · No. 290045

The Barkleys of Broadway is a 1949 American Technicolor musical comedy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), which reunited Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers after ten years apart. Directed by Charles Walters, the screenplay was written by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Sidney Sheldon. The songs were composed by Harry Warren and Ira Gershwin with the addition of "They Can't Take That Away from Me" by George and Ira Gershwin, and the choreography was created by Robert Alton and Hermes Pan. The Barkleys of Broadway is notably known as the final film that Astaire and Rogers made together, and their only film together shot in Technicolor. Rogers came in as a last-minute replacement for Judy Garland, whose frequent absences due to a dependence on prescription medication cost her the role.
