"The Way You Look Tonight" featured in the film Swing Time, winning the Oscar for Best Song in 1936. It was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.

The song was sung by John "Lucky" Garnett (played by Fred Astaire) while sitting at the piano. Penelope "Penny" Carroll (played by Ginger Rogers) was busy washing her hair in an adjacent room, and feeling anything but beautiful at the time.

This song was also popularly performed by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Michael Bublé. Jazz pianist Art Tatum has an instrumental recording in the collection The Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces. The song was also performed by The Lettermen and became a hit for them in 1961.

Pianist Bradley Joseph performs his arrangement of "The Way You Look Tonight" on his 2006 album, Piano Love Songs.

The song also appears on the Kenneth Branagh film Peter's Friends.

The song, performed by James Darren, also forms the background music for the "Seven-year Montage" in the final episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "What You Leave Behind".

This song was in the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding."

Answer 3

Wasn't that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers in Top Hat?

Someday,
When I'm awfully low
And the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft.
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart.
And that smile that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Lovely,
Never, never change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight--
Just the way you look tonight.


Ah yes, just noticed the previous post and it was Swing Time - great film!
