Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire and all the fucking GREATS! I just watched this wide eyes with my hubby who was ALSO enamoured. In his words..."You get Laurel and Hardy in one of these things, you get MY vote!" Fabulous! So being shared :DDDD Also, Eleanor Powell - LOVE!!!

:D :D

All of the Fred Astaire makes me so happy! Trivia: the sailor dancing with the Chinese girl is Jimmy Cagney and Ruby Keeler. The tall redhead with the whip is Lucille Ball.

I have watched this so many times now!! Steve's even sat through it several times because he thought it was so well done :D

Wow, really? How cool, I wouldn't have picked up on that!

Amazing editing!

Three things came to mind:
1) I spent way too much time sitting in front of a TV while growing up. Saw nearly every film represented.
2) The clip underscores how underused African Americans were in Hollywood.
3) OMG, Rita Hayworth was hot!

1. Same here!
2. Agree
4. I KNOW.

This was so well done! I LOVE classic movies and Elanor Powell and Gene Kelly were the best!
