"Here's to the Girls" - Ziegfeld Follies (HD Print)

[sandaglad]

For anyone who is interested, here are the names of the first five "girls," on horseback in order: gorgeous Eve Whitney, Elaine Shepard (later became a war correspondent in Vietnam), Lorraine Miller (from Flint, Michigan), Natalie Draper (who appeared as an uncredited glamour girl in numerous MGM wartime musicals) and Kay Booth. Don't know who the last two before Lucille Ball are.

I'm so glad someone posted this! This is one of my favorite routines! Love the cat women!

I always get a kick out of seeing Lucille Ball being so EXCELLENT at all the showbiz style (glamour, carrying off the whole showgirl thing) her Lucy Ricardo character never seemed to get quite right. She was really a stunner in color!

Just when things couldn't get any pinker or fluffier, enter the Panther Women and their sultry red headed trainer!

A cotton candy colored dream! It is Robert Alton who moves those ladies so gracefully. Saw this film as a kid and dreamed of being surrounded by those cat girls and the Pink Feathered beauties who stand on horses! Thanks for posting it.

Lucy...in the Ziegfeld girls? Who knew? 

[1Natick1]

So Lucy's the one who cracks the whip to get the girls in black to the the same dance as the others! Glad she got the attention. Glad they complied. She was really one original and over-the-top very special performer.

This is way before my time, so thanks so much for posting. She was truly an inspirational woman on many, many level.

I feel very gifted to have seen her in this. What a wonderful career she had!

Harriet Hocter is the Ballerina in this video.

02:59-- Lucille Ball, in gorgeous Technicolor and in the one of the rare times she was allowed to be a true amazon- in this case, a Minnelli-inspired cat tamer.

00:48-- Cyd Charisse, in her MGM debut. A silent arrival as a pink ballerina, with those long, killer, stems. And Vincente Minnelli's final pullback shot of this sequence rocks. Many thanks.
