He was incredible!

notice the cut away when he starts and stops dancing ... the middle bit the wheels are locked ... the end and start they are not ... that is some tight editing

С удовольствием пересмотрел номер. Это потрясающе. Хорошая форма и необходимые навыки позволили артисту сделать уникальный яркий номер. Браво.👏

That little girl sings way better than Shirley Temple ever did.

He was unsurpassed! 💕💕💕💕💕

They do not know how to make a musical, the talent is lacking and they sure can't dance.😊

No special effects, or CGI, or cut & paste clips - most of those takes were in one shot. He had to have rehearsed those moves hundreds of times.

Wonderful talent. Loved this video. Thank you for sharing.

Well worht the two million views. Thanks.

Truly on of, if not the greatest dancer of all times!!! He could do it all!

Sorry, Fred Astaire was light on his feet, same with Donald O’Connor but Kelly was just a hoofer

The Corcoran family had multiple kids who acted. She was on Bachelor Father. Her brother was Moochie on the World on Disney!

No one could do these complex novelty dances filled with physical comedy as well as O'Connor. Unfortunately, he was not given the best songs to sing and dance to as a solo. Ever heard anyone sing this song outside of this film? Great respect for his talent.

Super performer and very understed Donald O,Connor.. which film is this clip from??

Absolutely brilliant, so talented, nobody like that today unfortunately, he makes it look so easy❤😊

Oh my … he is so young. And talented

Those blue eyes, that singing voice and that dancing! Love him!!

That's why Kelly had chosen O'Connor to co-star in his movies; Kelly knew true talent when he see it.

The cuts before and after the tap dancing makes me wonder if the wheels were frozen during that time. I never thought that of Gene Kelly, I'll have to go back and see his dancing on roller skates.

People say of Fred Astaire that he used he used the items on the scene and integrated them into the dance routine, famous scenes include him throwing ash on the floor and shuffling with his feet, or using a broom...but whenever O'connor did it....they had to strike off each item he touched from the inventory 😂😂😂

The gymnastics of"O'Connor Dance" is remarkable.

Great entertainment

ADORE these two🥰

Because of course, he did.

Such an adorable song and dance!!!

This bit charmed the pants off me! 👍😍

girls shoes changed from brown to black.. anyone catch that? the black ones were tap shoes

love it. I also recognize Noreen Corcoran!!! (later in Bachelor Father)

Wow!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm in my mid 50's and this stuff makes me so happy!

The IMDB trivia mentions that Donald did a “similar” dancing number before Gene did a couple of years later. This doesn't have the choreography that Kelly’s number in It’s always Fair Weather. Kelly is much more graceful on the skates to the extent that you question if they cheated with some movie magic (Kelly apparently said they were unaltered skates). This scene doesn't have the scope, very limited moves, set, poor editing, stupid speed ramp effects and is proceeded by a very annoying song. Donald probably could have done much better than this if given the chance. This scene might have inspired Kelly to do his on a much bigger stage with better production values.

wow. Donald O'connor could do it all....sing.... dance and even roller skate. What an amazing talent ! The little girl held her own too. She was was working with amazing talent and she made it look so easy.

The happy ennergy and the dances moves are such a joy to see ^^ I want more movies with scenes where the characters have dialog in such a lively way

Who was the girl

An underappreciated talent.

Brilliant guy, this scene on skates is so clever

Donald O'Connor is v.graceful while Roller Skating at the beginning; I wonder if he ever ice skated as well..

Did he ever perform with Danny Kaye? They would have made a fun duo.

Donald O'Conner Is Amazing!!!!

What a wonderful find ~ love this man

Never seen this before, delightful.

We do not have talent like Donald O'connor anymore such a shame

Who even thought this up? And how hard they must have worked to set out the balloons and design the xylophone. And how much rehearsing and retakes would this take? Just brilliant. Donald O’Connor, the most likeable star of all, is effortlessly thrilling here. He usually was.

Must’ve taken a lot of practice for Donald to learn how to dance on those roller skates! Even little Noreen is amazed!

With his jacket, hair, etc, I keep expecting him to start singing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLaZapvjMyLmbMsi=W2yfaqMJdKX439xH

donald o connor tthe dancer who walked on walls incredible talent rip.

What's the movie name is this?

Wow, he's awesome and he was way better in the Singin' In The Rain movie than Gene Kelly.

And graceful as a ballarina

I'm older and wiser. We all know how shows are made. To do that tap dancing, I believe the wheels were locked. Now in the real world, swinging around with those lights...... Still a great show.
