I always think it's funny that so often Fred&Ginger's movies reflect them back. Like this scene in "Follow the fleet" for example. He says that Sherry found it more important to take off for her career but back when they were together, he had asked her to marry him.
I'm pretty much a 100% sure that this had happened to them in real life too. We know she took off for her career and I'm finding it *very* plausible that he had asked her to marry him before that. And a bit of a difficult relationship ensued at first when they met each other again later for their first film obviously.
Also somehow I'm currently having the insight that they most definitely slept with each other back when they were dating in New York. And I'm now seeing that in the context of them doing all of those movies together later, it's insane! Working together in such a super physical way is totally crazy when you actually think about it. He did all those often intimate choreographies with a woman he used to sleep with! And the other way around she did too. That's soooo weird to think about but also captivating. 😁😎
Also on a side note, I'll never be over the little song part before the "I'm putting all my eggs in one basket"-routine! They look so into each other and it really looks very genuine and from the heart, like they're just so happy to be there with each other. 😊💞
