The song was sung by Fred Astaire in the 1936 film Swing Time in the key of D major, but it is typically performed in E-flat major with a modulation to G-flat major. Other versions that year were by Guy Lombardo and by Teddy Wilson with Billie Holiday. His recording reached the top of the charts for six weeks in 1936. In the movie, Astaire sang "The Way You Look To-night" to Ginger Rogers while she was washing her hair in an adjacent room. Fields remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. " The Way You Look To-night" is a song from the film Swing Time that was performed by Fred Astaire and composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics written by Dorothy Fields.
