George Burns, Bob Fosse, and Harrison Muller

George Burns, Bob Fosse, and Harrison Muller on The Burns & Allen Show (1950)

yes,...and at the 'traveling exit' Fosse holds his hands behind him, further accentuating the posture, silhouette and step. Just Great stuff.

This was during the period, in late 1950, that the live series had a "specialty act" inbetween the evening's plot. During rehearsals, George and Bob Fosse tried a challenge dance on stage; Gracie saw this and yelled, "Nattie, you come down here right now!!". She didn't want George "exerting" himself with a dancer half his age!

Priceless!

Harrison Muller was a talented singer-dancer from the late 40s-mid-50s who did about four B'way shows and some TV, but lacked that elusive "break" that led similar talents like Bob Fosse, Tommy Rall and Bobby Van into musical films. I always find it fascinating to see actual footage of stage performers whose work was mostly live and undocumented in the media. Muller comes across as a nice-looking, talented, personable guy. Ah, show business!

We never heard from Harrison Muller again - and Bob Fosse went on to become a legend. Ain't that ironic? That's life!

Genius.

fosse definately took the medal

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. I've done another clip on some old cigarette cards of 1930's movie stars: George Burns, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford, Fay Wray from King Kong, Bing Crosby, Kay Francis and many more.

Bobby trounces the other two, charming as they are.

I wish I was alive back then. D:

[@PokeyHauntus]

I can relate to Gracie's roast cooking technique!

1950! 25 years later Fosse would direct Chicago.
