The world premiere was held in London, the first American sound production to do so.

Perfect Understanding, a 1933 sound production comedy, was the only film produced by this company.

She began appearing in stage productions and starred in The Gloria Swanson Hour on WPIX-TV in 1948.

The storyline of the film follows a faded silent movie actress Norma Desmond (Swanson), in love with a failed screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden).

Norma dreams of a comeback are subverted, and when Gillis tries to break up with her, she threatens to kill herself, but instead kills him.

Although Swanson had objected to enduring a screen test for the film, she had been glad to be making much more money than she had been in television and on stage.

Swanson later hosted Crown Theatre with Gloria Swanson, a television anthology series in which she occasionally acted.

She made a notable appearance in a 1966 episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, in which she plays herself.

"Actor and playwright Harold J. Kennedy, who had learned the ropes at Yale and with Orson Wells' Mercury Theatre, suggested Swanson do a road tour of ""Reflected Glory"", a comedy that had run on the Broadway stage with Tallulah Bankhead as its star."

After her success with Sunset Boulevard, she starred on Broadway in a revival of Twentieth Century with José Ferrer, and in Nina with David Niven.

"Swanson described herself as a ""mental vampire"", someone with a searching curiosity about how things worked, and who pursued the possibilities of turning those ideas into reality."

Swanson had initially thought she was going to be able to retire from acting, but the marriage was troubled by Davey's alcoholism from the start.

Due to the erotic nature of her performances, Nielsen's films were censored in the United States, and her work remained relatively obscure to American audiences.

Nielsen's minimalist acting style was evidenced in her successful portrayal of a naive young woman lured into a tragic life.

In a Russian popularity poll of 1911, Nielsen was voted the world's top female movie star, behind Linder and ahead of her Danish compatriot Valdemar Psilander.

"Of their work in The Passing Show of 1918, Heywood Broun wrote: ""In an evening in which there was an abundance of good dancing, Fred Astaire stood out ... He and his partner, Adele Astaire, made the show pause early in the evening with a beautiful loose-limbed dance."""

ⵙⴳ ⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉ ⵏⵏⵙⵏ ⴳ ⴷⵓ ⴱⴰⵙⵙⵉⵏ ⵛⵓⵡ ⴰⵙⴳⴳⵯⴰⵙ ⵏ 1918, ⵢⵓⵔⴰ ⵀⵉⵢⵡⵓⴷ ⴱⵕⵓⵏ: ""ⵢⴰⵏ ⵢⵉⴹ ⴳ ⵉⴳⴳⵓⵜ ⵓⵕⴽⴽⴹ ⵉⵖⵓⴷⴰⵏ, ⵉⴱⴰⵢⵏⴷ ⴼⵔⵉⴷ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ ... ⵏⵜⵜⴰ ⴷ ⵜⵎⵙⵙⵓⵔⵜ ⵏⵏⵙ, ⴰⴷⵉⵍ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ, ⵙⴱⴷⴷⴰⵏ ⴰⴼⵙⴰⵔ ⵣⵉⴽⴽ ⵜⴰⵍⴳⴳⵯⴰⵜ ⵙ ⵢⴰⵏ ⵓⵕⴽⴽⴹ ⵉⵍⴻⵍⵍⵉ ⵉⵖⵓⴷⴰⵏ.

But by this time, Astaire's dancing skill was beginning to outshine his sister's.

Astaire's tap dancing was recognized by then as among the best.

After the close of Funny Face, the Astaires went to Hollywood for a screen test (now lost) at Paramount Pictures, but Paramount deemed them unsuitable for films.

The end of the partnership was traumatic for Astaire but stimulated him to expand his range.

They lent him for a few days to MGM in 1933 for his significant Hollywood debut in the successful musical film Dancing Lady.

"He wrote his agent, ""I don't mind making another picture with her, but as for this 'team' idea, it's 'out!'"

ⵢⵓⵔⴰ ⵓⵎⵙⴽⴰⵔ ⵏⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵏⵏⵙ, ""ⵓⵔ ⵉⴳⵉⵢⵖ ⴰⴷ ⴰⵙⵉⵖ ⵜⴰⵡⵍⴰⴼⵜ ⵢⴰⴹⵏ ⴷⵉⴷⵙ, ⵉⵎⵎⴰ ⴳ ⵜⵡⵏⴳⵉⵎⵜ ⵏ 'ⵜⴰⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ', ⵜⴳⴰ 'ⵓⴼⵓⵖ!'"

The partnership, and the choreography of Astaire and Hermes Pan, helped make dancing an important element of the Hollywood film musical.

Six out of the nine Astaire–Rogers musicals became the biggest moneymakers for RKO; all of the films brought a certain prestige and artistry that all studios coveted at the time.

ⴳⴰⵏⵜ ⵚⴹⵉⵚ ⵙⴳ ⵜⵥⴰ ⵏ ⵜⵎⵣⴳⵓⵏⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵥⴰⵡⴰⵏ ⵏ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ–ⵕⵓⵊⵉⵔ ⴰⵙⴰⴳⵎ ⴰⵎⵇⵇⵔⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵉⴷⵔⵉⵎⵏ ⵉ RKO; ⵓⵡⵉⵏⴷ ⵉⴼⵉⵍⵎⵏ ⴽⵓⵍⵍⵓⵜⵏ ⵢⴰⵏ ⵡⵓⴷⴷⵓⵔ ⴳ ⵜⵥⵓⵕⵉ ⵏⵏⴰ ⵖⵎⵙⵏ ⵉⵙⵜⵓⴷⵢⵓⵏⵜ ⴽⵓⵍⵍⵓ ⴳ ⵓⵣⵎⵣ ⵏⵏⴰⵖ.

This gave the illusion of an almost stationary camera filming an entire dance in a single shot.

ⵉⴼⴽⴰ ⵎⴰⵢⴰⴷ ⵢⴰⵏ ⵓⴷⵎⵓ ⵉⵙ ⵜⵍⵍⴰ ⵍⴽⴰⵎⵉⵕⴰ ⵜⵉⵎⵏⵜⵉⵜ ⴰⵔ ⵜⵙⵡⵍⴰⴼ ⴰⵕⴽⴰⴹ ⵉⵙⵎⴷⵏ ⴳ ⵢⴰⵏ ⵓⵎⵉⵥⴰⵕ.

Astaire's style of dance sequences allowed the viewer to follow the dancers and choreography in their entirety.

ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵎⴽⵜ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵙⵍ ⵏ ⵓⵕⴽⴰⴹ ⵏ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵍ ⵢⵓⴷⵊⴰ ⵉⵎⵥⵔⵉ ⴰⴷ ⵉⴹⴼⵓⵕ ⵉⵎⵕⴽⴰⴹⵏ ⴷ ⵓⵙⵖⵉⵡⵙ ⵏ ⵜⵎⵕⴽⴰⴹⵉⵏ ⴽⵓⵍⵍⵓ.

Astaire's second innovation involved the context of the dance; he was adamant that all song and dance routines be integral to the plotlines of the film.

ⵉⵙⵍⵍⵡⵓ ⵡⵉⵙ ⵙⵉⵏ ⵏ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ ⴷⵉⴳⵙ ⴰⵎⵏⴰⴹ ⵏ ⵓⵔⴽⴰⴹ; ⵉⵙⴷⴷⵉⴷ ⴰⴷ ⴳⵏ ⵉⵖⵏⵏⵉⵊⵏ ⵉⵕⵓⵜⵉⵏⵉⵢⵏ ⴷ ⵡⵉⵏ ⵓⵕⴽⴰⴹ ⵜⵓⵟⵟⵓⵜ ⵢⴰⵎⵓⵏ ⴳ ⵉⴼⵉⵍⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵓⴼⵉⵍⵎ.

"One would be a solo performance by Astaire, which he termed his ""sock solo."""

"ⵢⴰⵏ ⴷⵉⴳⵙⵏ ⵇⴰⴷ ⵉⴳ ⴰⵙⴽⴰⵔ ⴰⵎⵥⵍⴰⵢ ⵏ ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ, ⵎⵉ ⵉⴳⴰ ⵙ ⵡⴰⵙⵙⴰⵖ ""ⵙⵓⴽ ⵙⵓⵍⵓ."""

She faked it an awful lot.

In 1976, British talk-show host Sir Michael Parkinson asked Astaire who his favorite dancing partner was on Parkinson.

Despite their success, Astaire was unwilling to have his career tied exclusively to any partnership.

Throughout this period, Astaire continued to value the input of choreographic collaborators.

"They starred in Broadway Melody of 1940, in which they performed a celebrated extended dance routine to Cole Porter's ""Begin the Beguine."""

"The latter film featured ""Puttin' On the Ritz"", an innovative song-and-dance routine indelibly associated with him."

"It featured a duet to Kern's ""I'm Old Fashioned,"" which became the centerpiece of Jerome Robbins's 1983 New York City Ballet tribute to Astaire."

Astaire choreographed this film alone and achieved modest box office success.

The fantasy Yolanda and the Thief (1945) featured an avant-garde surrealistic ballet.

Always insecure and believing his career was beginning to falter, Astaire surprised his audiences by announcing his retirement during the production of his next film Blue Skies (1946).

ⴰⴱⴷⴰ ⵓⵔ ⵢⵓⵎⵉⵏ ⴳ ⵉⵖⴼ ⵏⵏⵙ ⵢⵉⵖⵉⵍ ⵉⵙ ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵎⴷⵓ ⵜⴰⵣⵣⵓⵍⵜ ⵏⵏⵙ, ⴰⵙⵜⵉⵔ ⵉⵙⵙⵔⵄⴱ ⴰⵢⴷⵓⴷ ⵏⵏⵙ ⴳ ⵉⴱⵔⵔⵃ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵏⴰⴼⵜ ⵏⵏⵙ ⴳ ⵓⴼⴰⵔⵙ ⵏ ⵓⴼⵉⵍⵎ ⵏⵏⵙ ⴱⵍⵓ ⵙⴽⵉⵙ (1946).

Both of these films revived Astaire's popularity and in 1950 he starred in two musicals.

While Three Little Words did quite well at the box office, Let's Dance was a financial disappointment.

Similarly, Astaire's next project – his final musical at MGM, Silk Stockings (1957), in which he co-starred with Cyd Charisse, also lost money at the box office.

"The first of these programs, 1958's An Evening with Fred Astaire, won nine Emmy Awards, including ""Best Single Performance by an Actor"" and ""Most Outstanding Single Program of the Year."""

"The choice had a controversial backlash because many believed his dancing in the special was not the type of ""acting"" for which the award was designed."

They restored the original videotape, transferring its contents to a modern format and filling in gaps where the tape had deteriorated with kinescope footage.

In the second compilation, aged seventy-six, he performed brief dance linking sequences with Kelly, his last dance performances in a musical film.

In 1978, he co-starred with Helen Hayes in a well received television film A Family Upside Down in which they played an elderly couple coping with failing health.

Astaire asked his agent to obtain a role for him on Galactica because of his grandchildren's interest in the series and the producers were delighted at the opportunity to create an entire episode to feature him.

"Long after the photography for the solo dance number ""I Want to Be a Dancin' Man"" was completed for the 1952 feature The Belle of New York, it was decided that Astaire's humble costume and the threadbare stage set were inadequate and the entire sequence was reshot."

His was a uniquely recognizable dance style that greatly influenced the American Smooth style of ballroom dance and set standards against which subsequent film dance musicals would be judged.
