She's like a human Looney Tune character. I mean that as the highest accolade. Those cartoons are genius, and I never thought a real person could ever move like Wiley E. Coyote but Verdon + Fosse = Magic. Even her feet are hilariously predatory.

Magnificent. Gorgeous. Delicious. Breath Taking. Temptress. Amazing. So damn talented. No one could ever reprise this role. Ever. It was written for her. And only she could perform it with the conviction it deserves. Unmatched and Unequaled. God I love her ❤️

Terrific performance par excellence! Chroreography was great! I wonder how many takes this scene went through to make it seem almost flawless! Gwen Verdon was a stunner and so was Tab Hunter who fits perfectly for the role. An classic example of Hollywood filmmaking at its finest.

Sports + musical + fantasy = unique.
