Now Is the Time on Kronos When We Dance
by Kaitlyn Chantry and Dan Katz
Answer: LEGACY
Each clip is from one of the ten movies featuring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The clips contain no lyrics, but can be identified by plot, costume, and set elements. Each set of blanks can be filled with the first names of Fred and Ginger's characters in the film, starting at the footprints—except Ginger's are entered backwards, in accordance with the mimicked Frank & Ernest cartoon which asserted that Ginger did everything Fred did, but backwards and high heels. From each pair, the minus sign suggests the absolute difference in the letters in the blue squares, which spells SCOTT FILM HAS JACK AND LANA. The TJ Scott-directed film in which David Hasselhoff plays Jack and Donita Rose plays Lana is called LEGACY.
