Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a classic musical comedy centered on romantic entanglements and show business aspirations, with no discernible political agenda or critique of societal structures. Its focus on individual relationships and entertainment renders it apolitical.
This classic 1936 musical features primarily traditional casting, reflecting the industry norms of its era with a predominantly white cast. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, consistent with its lighthearted musical comedy genre, and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
Follow the Fleet, a 1936 musical comedy starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, focuses entirely on heterosexual romantic entanglements and musical numbers. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes within its storyline.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Follow the Fleet" is an adaptation of the play "Shore Leave." While some new characters were introduced for the film, no existing character from the source material had their gender changed in the screen adaptation.
This 1936 musical film features original characters created for the screen or its direct stage predecessor. There is no prior established canon (like a novel, comic, or earlier film) or historical record for these characters that would define their race before this production.
