It goes to show how history gets rewritten as time goes by. This video shows Barrie Chase's hemline, which, conventional wisdom, said, was supposed to have been longer, but, here it is, October, 1958, and the hemline looks like those of the early to mid-'60's.
@caraqueno I thought it was culturally acceptable for dancers to were more "revealing" clothing in performance than they or others did offstage, including hemlines higher than the norm of the time.

This is simply wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this rare gem. Barrie Chase with the GREAT Fred Astaire. Heavenly.
