My parents were raised on these movies.... they raised me on them. I am forever grateful

[@chuckkady7282]

I'm 76 and know what you mean. Bring um back Hollywood.

[@jspaingreene6350]

That's so wonderful! My mom did that for me, and I passed them on to my kids. I feel like our lives are so much better for knowing these works.

[@petersalem2433]

[@graceannemorgan1035]

[@michelleregis6181]

Donald O was quite brilliant in SITR, indeed he deserved much more recognition than he recieved ,, his ability to dance in time with Gene Kelly was remarkable ,i loved his quick timing , his light comedy routines where nothing short of brilliant!

[@rozlin313]

OMG....Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers, Danny Kaye, etc. I'm glad to have experienced some of these beautiful musicals and raised my son to also enjoy them. What a beautiful era, never to be experienced again.

[@WitoldBanasik]

Thank you for the great collection of legendary dance numbers and the stars of the Hollywood Golden Era. Russ Tamblyn... an unsung hero of the West Side Story acrobatic dancing style. We all remember Rita Moreno, Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, gorgeous Gina Trikonis and Richard Beymer and legendary choreography by Jerome Robbins and the divine music by Leonard Bernstein, but it was Russ Tamblyn who made us smile with his iconic Officer Krupke dance number...

[@wildaboutjackwild6002]

I agree! "we are sick, we are sick, we are sick, sick, sick." Soo funny

[@suzannejensen275]

Don't forget the wonderful dancing he did in " Seven brides for seven brothers". It really shows some of his incredible talent.

[@soniaionian7248]

The way Fred Astaire looked at his partners! Admiration, tenderness, love, joy, mischief, gentleness...all these sentiments expressed through a smile and a a glance..what a great artist!

[@Elainerulesutube]

He was so graceful as a dancer.

[@fido3449]

You write with real insight which adds to our knowledge and our joy. I'm always struck by the subtle adjustments in his line - a little finger extended or the angle of his shoe ; an instinct for elegance.

[@vivianalperin5555]

beverly ledbetter, I've read biographies of Mr. Astaire also, and he was not GAY! Try watching him with all his partners over the decades, it's obvious.

[@drhkleinert3245]

Every time i see Gene Kelly i go sad bec my big brother was a huge fan of him esp Singing in the rain. my brother died in 04 at the age of 46. Miss you man...

[@suzannejensen275]

So sorry for your loss of your brother. I'm so glad KZbin is keeping these movies alive. Have a blessed day.🙏

[@eleanorelizabethcarter4366]

Agree with all the wonderful comment about Donald O'Connor. My personal favourite is Gene Nelson, another brilliant dancer who was underrated! And.. someone mentioned Sammy Davis, Jr. For all 'round talent, Sammy Davis is the one! He did everything and did it spectacularly. What a brilliant entertainer!

[@liwanagbautista8780]

When I was a kid, I did not appreciate the musicals and dancing, I quickly turned the tv. Today, I wish we had all these wonderfully talented artist back!

[@youngbess1]

O’Connor and Kelly tap dancing, just so amazing. Fred Astaire is just such an amazing dance, just like my Uncle Charlie. It was always a family joke that Uncle Charlie taught Fred Astaire to dance.

[@lisat776]

Donald O’Connor never gets enough credit for his talent. He made me smile.

[@erikwick]

I just came here to say the very same thing. Didn't even break a sweat.

[@janettamcgee8124]

I was thinking the same exact thing. If Singing in the Rain is featured anywhere Donald O'Connor is barely mentioned. Yes, he made me smile too. He was so darned cute.

[@dongrainer6405]

I first saw Donald O'Connor in the mid fifties doing the "Francis the Talking Mule" movies. Later, when I saw him in other work I thought how callous Hollywood could be relegating such a fine actor and dancer to these absurd movies. They were enjoyable as a kid, but after knowing and seeing what Donald was capable of doing, well, what a shame. One wonders what would cause him to work in those films. For the money? His fame was fleeting. Too bad.

[@FranklinPUroda]

He was fantastic, but Gene Kelly was in front of the camera more.

[@boojay111]

I totally agree. Always seems to have been under Kelly's shadow, a shame.

[@amyclarke41]

[@anthonycooper6789]

Wonderful and magical! Watching these musicals just makes you feel good. Sadly that era of joyous dancing in those old-time musical productions is gone forever, but we are so fortunate to be able to still watch these magical musicals in the present-time whatever way we do.

[@KarlSkellenger]

My father gave me this movie on VHS tape many years ago. We were both huge fans of dance musicals

[@victoriasimon263]

love these movies - never gets tired - always in style. these are the movies I grew up watching and they will always stand the test of time. They can never replace the kind of dancing that is done today.

[@joycebriault7498]

Have been buying the DVDs of these old movies. Just love them

[@lynnanncastle77]

You missed Eleanor Powell - greatest tap pioneer of the movies! Beautiful, creative, athletic, graceful, ethereal, unique. Head and shoulders above all the rest. Her own choreographer and blazed the trail for every female dancer that followed- or tried too. Also an integrationist ahead of the times. One of the most remarkable dancing performers in movie history.

[@lumiere7216]

Dancers in general have their own unique style and express it differently. Gene Kelly, Cyd Charrise, Nicholas brothers, Fred Astaire, they're all great. Overall, this stuff is better than the garbage we see/hear today.

[@esmeephillips5888]

There is a moment from 'Thousands Cheer'. Clearly the compiler wanted to stress the Technicolor period, but Metro's golden time had begun in 1935 with 'The Great Ziegfeld' the first Eddy-MacDonald hits and above all 'Broadway Melody of 1936' and 'Born to Dance'. That pair foregrounded the next move forward in dance films from the Astaire-Rogers partnership: a soloist who could choreograph herself in any style and setting, from simple to 'cast of thousands'. Ellie's breakthrough makes her the true fairy godmother of MGM musicals. And the lyricist of her first hit was none other than their godfather- Arthur Freed. But in the cavalcade of talent that filled screens for the next 20 years, there would never be another Powell.

[@johnlewis9745]

Of all Fred Astaire’s many dancing partners, in order of preference, these three stand out for me; Cyd Charisse, Ginger Rogers and Eleanor Powell. Fabulous !

[@MariaCecilia-tg3gj]

I love to watch musicals and movie from the 50's. It was so beautiful. Color, dance, romance. Fred Astaire was a great dancer.

I do agree with Roy Bodden It's sad that we will never see the likes of the M-G-M Musical again.

[@terrysmith8749]

Let me be the first, I think to mention this name: JUDY. She was the best singer, and a good dancer, and a huge BOX OFFICE. Gene Kelly was an amazing dancer and his 1st film was For Me And My Gal starring Judy. Judy matched him step for step, as she coached him start to finish in his 1st film. For which he was always grateful. She was pretty good, compared to Gene's dancing, but, he didn't give her both barrels, he gave her one barrel. But, Gene always credited her for making it easy for him by guiding him along every step of the way. NO PUN INTENDED. THEY DID LOOK GOOD DANCING TOGETHER.

July 31, 2020:: I love TCM for their dedication to bringing back restored Silver screen musicals that since I was a child never get tired of viewing. Many I own & cherish. The Musical sets back in the 30s & 40s must have been as beautiful as it was when Dorothy landed in the land of Oz! I leave it to my imagination. I was told the sets were beautiful but color was very expensive. What turned it off and who's brave enough to turn it back on? It was so wonderful then. I was born in 1944. It was before TV was popular or affordable. The Moving picture theater was where I got to see Silver screen oldies. For 20 cents, I got to see two features, the world news and a cartoon. Times have changed haven't they? :o( As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the Memories" Karl. The Socialist are trying to overthrow our land of Oz, Keep the history fresh in their minds so they realize what they do.

All the real talent passed away. They were born in a time when people needed hope and encouragement because after 1913, two world wars broke out and their world flew by after the 60's hit. After that it became a culture of disgust. We can appreciate if we have CD'S, old workable HVS, or just catch a you tube of these majestic dancers, and talent.

Poor Donald O'Connor having to compete with the two giants. Much underappreciated.

[@aussiegirl3585]

Poor Donald O'Connor? No. No !. Donald was an outstandingly talented artist.! He grew up in vaudeville. He was performing from the age of 13 months. He was the consumate performer.He could do everything! - Sing, Dance, Act , Perform Comedy.! He preferred playing to LIVE audiences. He didn't really like movies as it was a static 'one off ' - he said he preferred stage and live appearances as he could perfect and improve his performances . He loved to improvise his routines. His career was spread throughout Stage , Screen , Television, Broadway, and Las Vegas cabaret shows. He was brought up to make people laugh and enjoy themselves, and that is what he did. The age of Musicals was over by the end of the 1950's. Kelly and Astaire were the musical superstars of the heyday of the 30's, 40's and 50's. By the time Donald exploded onto the scene the Studios didn't know what to do with him! Donald worked up until 4 years before he died in 2003 . He worked for 74 years ! He was the most delightful, kindest, considerate, generous, and the nicest man . You can see that in his screen persona....He was even better in real life. Don't say 'Poor Donald O'Connor ! He was a superstar !

[@billdutnall5311]

Totally agree. That's why I think he was overshadowed. I am a fan and wish he had received better recognition for his amazing talent. But not surprisingly the news of the time was all about Astaire and Kelly. Speaking of Fred how about the thought that Ginger was greatly over rated.

It's ironic that Fred Astaire's scene in this compilation is with Jane Powell, who wasn't a dancer and who only was in this film because the original female star had to pull out. Jane was definitely a singer, of course, and she does fine here due to her diligent and professional hard work.

[@anneroy4560]

If Fred could get a fun jitterbug out of Paulette Goddard, he could certainly make Jane Powell look her best.

Actually the late 40s early early 50s were a tough times for MGM. By the mid 50s, the studio system was crumbling and TV was making huge advances cutting into movie studio profits. By the end of the 50s MGM had to break away from the theaters (Lowes) in what was another blow. Everyone in the industry already knew by the mid 50s, that MGM's golden age was finished. MGM burned bright, red hot, then sadly it flickered out.

Kelly and O'Conner's style was very unlike Astaire's. Less 'graceful' perhaps, but more athletic I would say. All of them amazing. Among the girl's, I just am unable to arrive at even a close three, outstanding talent. These musicals, which, as it happens where all really before my time, are something I don't believe we'll ever really see again.
