Yes, there's one blackface scene (in Swing Time), which is a little cringeworthy, but was apparently Fred Astaire's tribute to a black dancer who had influenced his style, so there was no mean-spiritedness behind it.

I agree with your opinion. I love Fred Astaire's movies so, so much. The man was a genius with choreography and Ginger Rogers was a fine partner for him.

I think you missed the US memo that any kind of darkening your face for any intent, even if it's because you're highly admirative of a dark-skinned character and want to look like them or pay them a tribute, is OMG HORRENDOUS AND RACIST BECAUSE BLACK-FACE ONCE EXISTED.
