  6. City Lit at the BFI: Ginger Rogers and All that Sass
    Evening
    Course start date:  Tue 4 Apr 2023

    Location on this date:  BFI Southbank

    Tutors:  John Wischmeyer
    George Gershwin discovered Ginger Rogers on Broadway just before she moved to 42nd Street—in Hollywood! That same year she also made Gold Diggers of 1933 and then partnered Fred Astaire. Her life and career would change forever. She helped revolutionise the music genre at RKO, then left it to become Kitty Foyle (1940 Sam Wood) and immediately won the Oscar for Best Actress before becoming Chicago’s Roxie Hart (1942 William Wellman). This 4-week BFI course, a companion to the Ginger Roger season, is less about her musicals than her determination to be a serious actor—who sometimes played a great dancer. I’m looking forward to the neorealist Primrose Path (1940) and the Warner Brothers thriller Storm Warning (1951).







    Please note that this course takes place in The Studio at the BFI Southbank.
