The Pleasure of His Company

The Pleasure of His Company is a 1961 comedy film starring Fred Astaire, Debbie Reynolds and Tab Hunter directed by George Seaton and released by Paramount Pictures.

Pogo went off to travel the world and enjoy himself, while Katharine remarried to stodgy banker Jim Dougherty.

Now Jessica is about to marry Roger Henderson, a cattle rancher from the Valley of the Moon in Sonoma County, and Pogo has been invited to the wedding.

He makes peace with Katharine, and even wins over Toy, the Doughertys' prized cook, though not Jim and Roger.

Jim, stopping Katharine from buying cigarettes in the airport, fears she is leaving him to meet Pogo at the plane.

However, he did dance a little in this film during the party sequence, and even sang briefly as he teased Lilli Palmer.
