Top hat - Evans, Peter William (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
The making of Top hat: production, promotion, reception – Fred Astaire: 'outlaw' stylist of the dance – Ginger Rogers: 'vivacious lady', confirming and defying convention – Introduction to narrative and number: The bumpy road to love – The numbers: 'No strings', 'Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain', 'Top Hat', 'Cheek to cheek', 'The piccolino' – Beddini, Bates, Horace and Madge: querying national and sexual identity – Conclusion: a perfectly swell romance
