[@bobbernfield4102]

There are no words to describe the talent Ellie and Fred possessed during their careers. In this number, I was entertained beyond words at the corny dialogue (corny nice) and unbelievable choreography. I have heard that Ellie was mostly responsible for the creative side of the dancing in this film and I can see in this number that it must be true. Fred being slung around the floor by an obviously very strong female partner? I can just imagine that the schoolmarm was as strong behind the scenes as she was onscreen.

[@gothcat54]

When I was in the Theater Dept. at college back in 72', I REALLY started getting into the films from the 30's and 40's with both Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers AND Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell! I had SUCH a crush on both Ginger and Eleanor! Both gorgeous, and both incredible dancers!

[@esmeephillips5888]

Eleanor's son Peter Ford said she had the lion's share of the choreographic input. It was tough for Fred. He no longer had Hermes Pan and Mark Sandrich to bounce ideas off, and he was a newbie at MGM, the biggest studio, which regarded Radio as an upstart outfit. Fred's and Ginger's last two films had lost money whereas Ellie's were profitable- at a time (according to Ann Miller) when Mayer, battling the suits in New York, desperately needed hits. Fred still did not know if he could become a Gingerless solo attraction; Ellie had proved she was one. So the power balance was in her favor. One senses that the script of BM40 reflected that: it was the only time Fred portrayed an aspirant to fame, smitten by an established star. Maybe all this is why he was so stand-offish in the first weeks of rehearsal, until Ellie broke down his reserve.

Powell is just so superbly clean technically. Astaire is as always his smooth self and I think connects better with the audience, but he really couldn't beat her technically.

[@esmeephillips5888]

Ellie was the soul of truthfulness, so there is no reason to doubt a story she told Fayard Nicholas about when this movie wrapped. Fred was off by himself, brooding in a corner. She asked him what was wrong- hadn't they both enjoyed making the picture? He answered: 'Yes, we had fun, but I don't want to work with you any more. You made me work too hard.' From the most notorious workaholic in Hollywood, that is some compliment.

[@sirpoopalot6420]

@@esmeephillips5888 They execute 2 spins at 2:51 yet she keeps her arms more folded while he has his out (more work or E is involved). It gives the ILLUSION of her going slower than his "dazzling" speed, but 1st spin she actually completes before him! 2nd spin perfectly matched rotational speed but the illusion remains (more energy expenditure on his part though). Could it also be his bigger hands are more visible and she's wearing darker clothing? P.S.I have time on my hands.

[@WakandaBabe]

As a former dancer, I totally agree. You can see that when he dances with her, he dances to 'keep up' with her level. It's not that he wasn't a good dancer; he was a good dancer. But there is something about Eleanor Powell's dancing that makes it seem (although it's very subtle) that he has to really work when he dances with her. RIP to both of them.

[@xaviotesharris891]

I think Powell is the only other dance partner he had besides Judy Garland who took the focus off of him and his dazzling artistry. I can't not watch Eleanor or Judy when they dancing with him.

[@jeffsatterfield6842]

The best of the best. Those who say, "Ginger could do everything Fred could do, backwards" are wrong in every way. Eleanor could do everything Fred could do--and more!

[@Hibernicus1968]

@Brazilian Atlantis Agreed. But look through the comments of absolutely EVERY video on KZbin showing Astaire and Rogers, and there are legions of "Ginger did everything he did backwards and in high heels!" comments. She couldn't, really. Look at... oh their dance number in "Swing Time" just to take one example -- even I, a total non-dancer can see Fred's steps are far more precise and intricate. Ginger just couldn't keep up, as a dancer, but she did well enough. Ginger was Astaire's most memorable partner because she complimented him well on the dance floor -- despite her lack of dance training, she learned to dance pretty well; and because she had real chemistry with him on screen, as an actor and a dancer. But the truth is Fred danced with any number of far more accomplished and skilled dancers, technically speaking -- Eleanor Powell, Rita Hayworth, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron. Ginger was a great partner for Fred, and in truth she had more acting talent than he did. But she wasn't a better dancer, and I wish people would put that trite old saying to bed.

[@maya8443]

Is an overstated quote and far from being true. Ginger was an okay dancer and quick learner but that was basically all, it was Fred the one with the talent.

[@lindaeasley4336]

Fred Astaire said years later that he was intimidated by Eleanor and that she danced in a mannish way . Clearly he was not used to dancing with a woman who did not let him be the lead , or who did not prance around daintily like a flower . Eleanor was, whom many saw as the greatest tapper , a take no prisoners , give it 110% kind of dancer

[@esmeephillips5888]

She said that after BM40 she felt 'like the Wreck of the Hesperus', and that she was always wiped out when a picture wrapped. This time she was diagnosed with gallstones after collapsing while at a Jeanette MacDonald concert. She contracted a fever during surgery, her temp went to 108, and when her friend Alice Faye visited the hospital Ellie did not know her. For several days her life was in the balance, and for some months she had to rest up. Her next picture did not appear for more than a year. The crisis made her more determined to get on and then get out, once her extended contract expired in 1943. The layoff was a blessing in disguise. It produced her greatest feats of imagination, virtuosity and courage, such as 'Fascinating Rhythm' and the Western Rope Dance.

[@dillspitzen]

[@YouzTube99]

@colinglen4505 Fun fact: Most of the suits Fred wore in films were actually his own. In the early 1920s, he and his sister Adele were the biggest stars of the New York and London stages. Whilst in England, they were befriended by Edward, then Prince of Wales, later to be Duke of Windsor, later to be King of England and pretty much always considered to be the best dressed man in Europe. From him, Fred learned a lot about style which he brought back to the U.S. and influenced mens' fashion forever by putting his own unique spin on it.

[@esmeephillips5888]

In 1936, still new in Hollywood, Eleanor Powell said she had already been urged to link up with Fred Astaire, but doubted it would happen: “Lots of fans have written to ask if we were going to be teamed. He is of course the greatest dancer of them all. But I don’t think we would be a good team. Our style of dancing is totally different. Fred is very aerial and covers a lot of space, while I dance close to the ground…. Fred wouldn’t dance with me. He’d know we could never be a team because we are utterly different.” Three years later, however, they were together- but in a scenario where Fred (who has been seen marveling at her from the back of a Broadway theater) confesses he can't master one of her steps, and she encourages him to try. The scriptwriters knew what they were about.

[@maya8443]

Good story, thanks for sharing! They're awesome. I love the "begin the beguinue" dance is pure perfection.

[@esmeephillips5888]

@@maya8443 AFAIK Ellie was the only actress who was written into a backstage screenplay as being more famous than Fred's character's, and by implication more gifted. At the finale, instead of the usual two-shot of 'getting the girl', she appears between Fred and George Murphy as if they are her courtiers. Musicals are hives of in-jokery, and I suspect the writers could not help riffing off Fred's fear that he would be upstaged for once... which he was, and as he admitted to Hermes Pan when he saw the final cut. I don't want to adjudicate between two nonpareils, but it seems clear that the MGM executives' early fears about EP being too 'dominant' or 'aggressive' (by the male/female criteria of the day) were well founded. Nobody, but nobody, could flourish in Eleanor's blinding light except as a supporting cavalier- as Murphy was, magnificently, in 'I'm Feeling Like a Million' and 'Between You and Me'. Fred was always one of a pair, and people wanted to see what he would bring out in his latest girl. Ellie 'opened' her pictures alone.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

On the other hand, I think Astaire could work magic with partners. Powell often outshone her partners, but it's hard to think of anyone who looked bad with Fred. Even here, he seems to tease a little extra ... well, call it sweetness out of Eleanor.

[@HariSeldon913]

I certainly love Eleanor, but I think it's only fair to mention that she was still in her 20's here while Fred had just hit the plus side of 40. Yes, Astaire could move better in his 70's than I could in my 20's, but for two greats like these, the 13 1/2 years may have made a difference.

[@mja91352]

[@esmeephillips5888]

@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Very true. Astaire and Pan were dedicated to the cultivation and display of female talent. No actress or dancer who worked with them came away feeling they had not benefited from the experience, even if they cried and bled and said they could not handle the discipline. But Eleanor Powell was more in the line of expressive, masterly soloists such as Isadora Duncan and Leni Riefenstahl. The conventions of musical romances obliged her to dance with men too, but her forte was solitary performance. As such, she obtained from Hollywood a degree of control that no dancer has ever surpassed. Her chutzpah in holding MGM and Mayer to ransom as a young woman of 22, with only one brief screen performance behind her, is as remarkable as the footage she gave Mayer once he had the sense to trust her.

When I mentioned this to one of the cast members, he told me that Ann worked at staying limbered up throughout the day, every day.

I don't think Fred, who was such a perfectionist, knew how to take a partner that could so easily keep up with him, tap for tap. Ginger moved so well with him, they made a great dancing duo, but, although she had natural talent, she really couldn't outshine him as a soloist. I've always heard how gracious and shy he was, but I think, when it came to dancing, his ego was substantial, and he didn't want be challenged by his co-star. Didn't want to be possibly out done by a woman.

[@esmeephillips5888]

Potentially the conjuncture of such distinctive talents could have led to sterile rivalry, as in another 1939 release: WC Fields and Mae West in 'My Little Chickadee'. But Fred and Ellie were pros, not showoffs, They worked out a modus vivendi which resulted in as varied and accomplished a showcase for their abilities as one could ask. Honor and inspiration were satisfied by one collaboration as far as Fred was concerned, but what a harvest! BM40 is the richest treasure trove of Terpsichore ever filmed- as one critic wrote, 'a kind of summit meeting'.
