...Berlin's musical dexterity was both obvious and ingratiating. He heard Gershwin play with syncopation in "Fascinatin' Rhythm," then executed his own elaborate, fairly daring ricochet rhythms in "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Monkey Doodle Doo" and "Everybody Step." Profligate with melody, he tossed extra bridges into "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly" and his longest (64-bar), finest construction, "Cheek to Cheek."

The monkey business didn't start until after the release of Burton's film Planet of the Apes, in which Bonham Carter (left, at the movie's premiere) and Marie played foxy simians. (During the shoot, notes Bonham Carter's rep, "she was in latex from head to toe.") That's the way things began between Bonham Carter and then-married Kenneth Branagh too, after...
