Northwest Montana History Museum Movie Night "Swing Time" (1936)

Description

Gambler John “Lucky” Garnett (Fred Astaire) is a gambler and dancer ready to settle down with sweetheart Margaret Watson (Betty Furness). But when his final show goes awry and Margaret’s father learns of John’s poor earnings, he is tasked with raising $25,000 as a show of good faith and ability.

After a chance encounter with dance instructor Penny Carroll (Ginger Rogers), Lucky faces a new conundrum: Is he really still dedicated to Margaret, or has Penny danced herself right in and stolen his heart? And what will happen after Lucky finally raises enough money for Margaret through his gambling tendencies?
