Let s Call the Whole Thing Off (a comic musical number from the 1937 film Shall We Dance): Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers sing alternate verses of Ira Gershwin s famous lyrics before embarking on a partnered comic tap dance using roller skates on an icerink. Fred uses the circular form of the rink to introduce a variation of the oompahtrot he and his sister Adele had made famous in vaudeville. In a further dig at ballet, the pair strike an arabesque pose just prior to toppling onto the grass.
