"There is a need for another world somewhere..."
From Rogert Ebert:
"Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live. Where everyone is a millionaire and hotel suites are the size of ballrooms and everything is creased, combed, brushed, shined, polished, powdered and expensive. Where you seem to find the happiness you seek, when you're out together dancing cheek to cheek. It doesn't even matter if you really find it, as long as you seem to find it, because appearances are everything in this world, and ...
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray.
Long as I can be with you,
It's a lovely day.

jesus christ that sounds like hell!
Ginger didn't seem to think so. Have a look at their first dance in a starring role, "Night and Day" from The Gay Divorcee...skip ahead to 6:30 or so.
Good thing they had censors to keep the suggestive material out, eh?
Another view of heaven, from the Fark thread for this improbable article...
