Fred Astaire Vs. Joan Crawford - ROYAL WEDDING AND TORCH SONG

[danakins]

Joan Crawford did the leg pose waaaayyyy before any Angie Jolie...don't ruin that line!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Both are good numbers (in very different ways, obviously).

This tune (not the music) was used years before Kid Millions as well (1934)

Look up "I Wanna Be A Minstrel Man" on YouTube

I knew they borrowed a lot for Torch song, but this is redic! Awesome editing job and thanks for the comparison!

Joan did a good job dancing and those legs! Hot hot hot!!! Poor thing could not sing though, based on the recording studio session on the DVD of Torch Song...

[MANUELFARINELLI]

Fred and Joan Ahhh pure heaven!

[customcartoons]

Fred Astaire is all man! ^_^

[EvaPhillips]

Joan certainly was a good dancer since the 20's when she was a flapper. She and Fred danced together in Dancing Lady... I enjoyed how you did this....it never occurred to me it was the same piece of music in both films. How clever of you. Visit my Joan Crawford channel. Robbie.

Nice try, but at her very best Joan Crawford is Fred Astaire Lite.

janet leigh 100.... Janet was a beautiful woman...and a good actress...better than many think ...I really had a crush on her when I was young...about your age... had a scrap book of her and Tony Curtis...unfortunately it was thrown away a long time ago...happy to know that a new generation is aware of her and likes her

[miltsar]

I don't believe someone has signed in as Janet Leigh ! I loved her as a child ! She was my absolute favorite...wrote to her every week !.....as for Joan ...she is perfectly fine in this dance sequence....wish people would give her a break !

[janetleigh100]

Your so lucky, getting to write to Janet Leigh every week. I'm only 12 years old but I would have loved to have been around then just to write to that brilliant actress and tell her how much I adore her. (By the way, am I the person you mention " I don't believe someone has signed in as Janet Leigh !" Just wondering!

[janetleigh100]

What fantastic legs and what a fantastic actress! Long live the queen of Hollywood!

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Joan is a fabulous dancer!

[herzogsbuick]

pretty neat!

[pullformore]

You all know Joan Crawford was Fred Astaire's first on-screen dancing partner, right? Before Ginger? Fred's first film was Joan's Dancing Lady

[djskeezie]

she wasnt much of an impressive mover to me really... but the one thing she had in spades was intention... someone moving with a display of proper intention to whats going on atm is crucial and jc had that fo sho

[theblueangel28]

i think Torch Song was the best dancing she ever did on film. just as flawless as everything else she ever did. The Queen

[etienne818]

A wonderful juxtaposition! I was afraid this might be another "trashing Joan" clip, and was pleasantly surprised that it was not. Joan had an incredibly long career for good reason - she instinctively knew how to adjust to changing times and tastes, and did so! Joan Crawford was the original "survivor" long before the reality series was ever thought of.

[lukemack]

the same music was used in both movies.

[4MaryAnna]

hey this is nice BluebirdTV,and it really surprised me how well the music went with Joan's routine too.Excellent job on putting this together!

[lukemack]

I love this song and Fred Astaires Is legendary....but JOAN CRAWFORD is truly great!!!! What could this lady not do!!!!!
