Ad for the Fred Astaire RKO musical “Damsel in Distress” (1937), Screenland, Jan. 1938.

This was Astaire’s first starting vehicle separate from Ginger Rogers. Burns and Allen are his co-stars. Early career Joan Fontaine is the love interest, but only gets a mention as a generic “Hollywood’s Girl of Your Dreams”

Immortal music by George Gershwin in one of his last works before his early death in mid-1937.
