Very classy dancing with the firecrackers. Fred Astaire was so creative with his dance routines. Such a craftsman. R.I.P.

Real tap dancing

It’s the most America in the 40s thing that he’s smoking while he’s dancing…

[@laurablakesley8091]

Because he had to appear to be lighting the firecrackers! (They were actually set off by squibs.

[@poopikins]

​@@laurablakesley8091 what are squibs?

[@chasse123b9]

he did 38 takes of this dance before he was happy with the performance.

[@O-DogKubrick]

I don’t like Bing Crosby very much. No. But I sure do admire Fred Astaire very much! His dancing is cool! Besides, he was that postman narrator in “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”. With him and Mickey Rooney! TRUE STORY. What about you? Ever saw that?

[@scott-richards]

this movie needs to be forgotten. it hasn't aged well at all. it's also why you don't see it broadcast on TV anymore. the blackface Lincoln number is attrocious. someone needs to cut it out of the film. other than that, it's a good movie but THAT is a BIG that! sorry.
