	Actors - The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle

The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle is a biographical musical comedy starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edna May Oliver and Walter Brennan. The 1939 movie is based on the stories "My Husband" and "My Memories of Vernon Castle", by Irene Castle. The movie was adapted by Oscar Hammerstein II, Dorothy Yost and Richard Sherman. The film was directed by H.C. Potter. Irene Castle acted as advisor to this film, and constantly disagreed with the director as to details of costuming and liberties taken with their lives. She scored one direct hit though: when informed that white actor Walter Brennan was to play their faithful servant Walter, she was dumbfounded- the real Walter was Black.
