Fred Astaire is suitably dressed in his top hat, white tie and tails this afternoon in the 1935 film Top Hat, while Barbra Streisand urges us to put on our Sunday Clothes in Hello Dolly. Gene Kelly feels a little love-sick in An American in Paris and Penélope Cruz is part of an eccentric family of women from a wind-swept region south of Madrid in the Spanish film Volver scored by Alberto Iglesias. Orson Welles brings us to Vienna in The Third Man with the zither playing of Anton Karas and Cinderella needs to get home before midnight in The Slipper and the Rose.
