The Way You Look Tonight
"The Way You Look Tonight" is a song featured in the film ''Swing Time'', originally performed by Fred Astaire. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936.〔 In 2004 the Astaire version finished at #43 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
The song was sung to Ginger Rogers as Penelope "Penny" Carroll by Astaire in character as John "Lucky" Garnett, while Penny was busy washing her hair in an adjacent room, and feeling anything but beautiful at the time. The song was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields,〔 and has become a standard. Fields later remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful."
==Influences==
The striking similarity of the beginning of the song to ''"Lang, lang währt der Sommer nicht"'', a duet from Emmerich Kálmán's operetta ''Der Zigeunerprimas'' has been remarked upon.〔http://liaslc.blogspot.co.uk/2007/02/standing-ovation-that-did-not-embarrass.html〕 The first seven notes, though not the key, are precisely the same as Kern's song. The operetta had been a popular success on Broadway in 1913 as ''Sari''); and in its English version ("Softly, through the summer night") the duet was among the show's hit songs. Kern was to write extra songs for the Broadway productions of Kálmán's ''Miss Springtime'' (1916) and ''The Gipsy Princess'' (1921), and knew the Vienna composer's work intimately.
