Does anyone know how they miked the taps?

@esmeephillips5888 Жыл бұрын

The taps were dubbed. Eleanor always put her own in, watching a playback and using a special pair of shoes, nicknamed Ike and Mike, on a tap board. Fred Astaire did his own but Ginger's were recorded by Hermes Pan. IIRC Gene Kelly did his also. You needed rhythm in your hands as well as your feet.

With its call-and-response routines, female upper-body 'haughtiness' and percussive footwork, flamenco always seems the natural European adjunct to tap dancing- guitars and castanets adding to the syncopation potential. So it was odd that Rita Hayworth, soaked in flamenco since infancy, never became a specially proficient tapper.

Eleanor Powell had planned a longer sequence, including a flamenco-style duet with the young Jose Greco. As it was, she engaged a professional matador to teach her passes with the heavy cape and the etiquette of the arena. Unlike Sam Garrett, who schooled her in the Western Rope Dance, the expert did not urge her to quit movies and become a bullfighter.

@Esmee Phillips What a wonderful number that would have been with Greco! I recently read that Vincent Minelli did not think Powell was "that great of a dancer." I was shocked to hear this!

@esmeephillips5888 2 жыл бұрын

@@cattycorner8 It is stranger bc he had directed for the first time on Broadway with Powell in 'At Home Abroad', and is said to have fought against the exclusion of her number 'The Lady with the Tap', whose idea of tapping in code had been recycled in 'Ship Ahoy'. Minnelli disparaged 'I Dood It' in his memoirs, calling it 'my sophomore jinx'. But the slapstick theater and spy-chase scenes are very adroitly handled, even if they owed more to Buster Keaton's tutoring of Skelton. VM may have felt (understandably) peeved by the studio's cheapskate recension of 'Swingin' the Jinx Away' as a postscript. His next projects were the extravagantly mob-handed 'Ziegfeld Follies' and 'Yolanda and the Thief', whereas Powell's magic lay in a more refined, monochromatic solo purity. Conceivably also VM's attachment to Judy Garland made him subconsciously downplay Powell bc he was bent on making Judy Metro's replacement for Ellie- who had already announced her retirement- as queen of the musical lot. After all, it was in a Powell pic that Judy had first got herself seriously noticed with 'Dear Mr Gable'. And both of them were very conflicted, neurotic characters, whereas Ellie was a tranquil, steadfast professional.

Nice example of her mock-solemn face at 0:25. Watch the changes of expression through this whirlwind performance. Ginger would keep the same look all through a dance b/c she had to sweat every step. If she was an actress who became a dancer, Ellie was vice versa.

she is the best all round dancer ive ever seen. her timing is so in sync, she is an incredible gymnast with the grace of a prima ballerina, and some how she can defy gravity. never seen anyone float like she does, id just like to say thank u to youtube and these tribute channels because here we are with all this technology in 2020 a century on from the golden age of the big screen movies, personally from that era to today i cant think of anyone male or female that comes even close to Eleanors talent, have u seen her in hula! barefoot. no tapping. her energy is unreal, the most expressive dance sequence ive ever witnessed. she uses every inch of her body to speak fluent dance! i have been watching clips on here every night for a week, and thankfully new clips keep popping up. she is still entertaining the world in 2020 . amazing talent with amazing grace. #1

I've watched a lot of her videos, and I must admit she might be the best dancer man or woman in the Hollywood golden era. A more versatile dancer then anyone I've seen, she's much more then a tap dancer. No wonder Fred Astaire didn't want to dance with her.

Eleanor showed more skin than most in her time, e.g. she was among the first to wear high-cut bikini briefs. The Production Code was more lenient about dancers' costumes bc costumiers argued they were justifiable for practical reasons. But navels were o-u-t for ladies until the Swinging Sixties.

Having just seen a flamenco performance a couple of nights ago, and thinking about tap differences while watching, I'd say they can't be combined unless within a tap version that mocks the anger and passion of flamenco. The moods of the two are diametrically opposed, as well as approach to choreography.

Nowadays we watch old movies, 99% of the time, on little screens at home. But imagine the impact this must have made on cinemagoers, sitting in the dark under a huge picture with the music blasting out. With no quick replays to hand, they must often have left wondering if they had really seen bravura sequences such as this, or imagined them. I know of no other performer- male or female, musical, comic or dramatic- who so utterly commanded the screen as Ellie did. She had control of her numbers and made the most of it. Feminists ought to burn candles to her.
