Did Jack Cole choreograph this?

At a famous AFI award show honoring Fred Astaire, late in their lives, Eleanor Powell was heard to say the pair took two weeks of rehearsal just to refine the arm and hand motions for the dance! Imagine!

Wonderful song and acting.

MGM had Judy. Paramount had Betty.

Mitzi is so delightful and delicious, then there is that dress. So beautiful!

Fritz Feld - I always loved seeing him in movies and TV shows. That Pop! he did with his hand against his mouth was his signature.

Men love a strong women id of takem her as my wife

you talkin' 'bout vera miles?

The first movie I ever saw, at 4 years old, was Singin' In The Rain." I've always loved Donald O'Connor.

😍😍😍 They are wonderful together!

In the right NRA meeting you can!!!

I wOuLd have liked to see her dance with lDonald O’Conner he was very good too

Adorable Mitzi. Cute hair, great dress, and impossibly tiny waist

... de 🥰loverrrly 0K!!

never stop

an there not even here

my babies can stop it if i say shes mine i feel i get in trouble

you can read my mind don't need to be nice

Fred and Eleanor left us this excellent legacy. They make me cry.

I ALWAYS PREFFERED VERA ELLEN TO ELEANOR POWELL. SHE WAS SMALLER AND CUTER AND MUCH BETTER LOOKING AND JUST AS TALENTED, IF NOT MORE SO.. SHE WAS VERY UNDERRATED. RIP

Brilliant ! What came first Betty or Doris Day with Calamity Jane ?

I have it on dvd.I watch it a lot.I love it.

The camera just loved her. Such a lady of entertainment.

Doris Day wss in a class apart..she could do it all: sing, dance and act both comedy and serious drama..She was one of the greatest talents in show business. I doubt we will ever her see a woman of her stature again...

Well, I'm convinced. I wouldn't mind a turn at that turnstile!

While there's no denying that Vera is always amazing, I just want to give a moment of appreciation to the incredible, well timed and acted acrobatics of those male dancers at the end! The whole sequence was so well done👋

She looked less anorexic then.

Oh, but you CAN get a man with a gun, just be good with it and be genuine about it. I would definitely fall for a girl who can shoot well.

To be fair, and give credit where it's due, but the numb er is danced by Vera-Ellen and sung by Anita Ellis

He was simply the best and his facial expressions. Dancing was like secret nature to him.

Lots of great singers have sung this song. However, I love Donald’s rather “casual” approach to the music. He blends from conversation to the music in such a pleasant way. Donald could certainly belt out a song - so it’s nice to heahow he interprets these lyrics…. Also, at the very end, there’s a nice touch - a saleslady behind a counter is watching Donald and is amused as his makes his exit. This entire clip is pure MGM Gold. …Rowby.

She definitely had more meat on her bones in this film. She looked anorexic in White Christmas.

Gene Kelly choreographed this for the movie, and you can really tell it is his style with the athleticism in so much of it.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Talents of these two artists in full display.

All I can say is that they were MAGNIFICENT!

Yes doris was a dancer first had an accident and started singing

Oh god, she's got some talent! And original woman spread! Go girl! So happy to find her, this makes me happy!

No one will probably read this comment since it's been many years since this video appeared on KZbin. What makes me laugh as a man is how I always hear Ginger Rogers did everything in reverse or backwards and did it in heels. What's funny is as a man that's who I was watching in the first place, but with the woke community and those types before them always have to make a big deal out of it as if we're so dumb we didn't notice it in the first place.

In the world we in amazing doris was 😢

Vera-Ellen was a fabulous all round dancer and she really showed off her high extensions in this dance. I don't see how she could have been anorexic. She is too energetic in her dances and her muscles are too toned. She was a good weight for a dancer. Cyd Charisse looked very thin also, back in the mid forties. Daily ballet excercise does that.

I so loved this woman. Bob Hope hit the nail on the head when he labeled her "A vitamin pill with legs". Too nice for Hollywood. Rest peacefully, sweet angel.

I'm watching a performance done 36 years before I was born, uploaded 15 years ago. The internet makes me really depressed sometimes, but I'm glad it lets me experience this.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 such an incredible lady (and dance team)

That's a take on you can't get a man with a gun from an old movie "Annie Get Your Gun". Oh a man may be hot, but he's not when he's shot, Oh ya can't get a man with a gun.

Love Vera's sparkly hat!

Absolute bombshell

This is a super athlete, by any definition in sports, dance, or art. Famous for her gravity defying speed, physical strength and power, she layed down some of the most intricate rhythms in tap and dance history. Considered by many of the greatest dancers, to be the greatest of them all. Taught by one of the greatest tap dancers of all time, gifted with supernatural energy, natural beauty and charisma, is the greatest dancer of all time, who made it all look easy, sexy, and happy. Eleanor Powell.

If only the so called "Stars" today had 50% of the style, talent, and class of either of these two magical performers. Sheer Perfection.

this woman had a horrible life, husband left her she tried to commit suicide and became a manic depressive. She went bankrupt, children wanted nothing to do with her and ended up penniless and working for the church.
