[Obliviousmisery]

The guy playing the instrument with the low voice played the lion in wizard of oz.

[DreamsCumTrue469]

[prakstin]

The greatest child star in the history of cinema!!!

[ManOfMeans]

My Grandfather played the "Mugsy" character in this movie (this dance sequence was performed a few minutes before his fight scene.)

I still love this movie - it will always remind me of him!

[teresaGT]

soo cool...is your grandfather still alive?

[ManOfMeans]

He sure is! He lives in Washington state.

[ilovetheosmonds]

i like the dogs in the back when they are tap dancing, they look so bored...hahaha. i love the song.

[margotdarby]

Who the hey is Amanda Duff? That's Joan Davis, from the popular TV sitcom "I Married Joan."

[143AC]

This was the last time that Ms.Temple danced onscreen

with Mr.Robinson..AKA"Uncle Billy".

[hermankatnip]

Happy Birthday Shirley!!! 81 Today.

[ChiCity2009]

Wow Can you believe Bill Robinson was 60 here? The people of that generation were a special breed.

[ilovefootballers]

I totally agree but it's also but of the fact that he was tap dancing versus any other kind of dancing. Because of how tap dancing is done it takes less of toll of the body over time when done correctly then does say ballet for example. Tap dancers generally have longer careers because of that. But I'm totally with you, performers back then are a completely different class than the ones now.

[ChiCity2009]

Very true. I did a dance number of Jackie Wilson on my page with an effort to keep the legacies of 'true entertainment' alive. Take a look at it if you will on my page. Take care. Sub, comment, yada yada lol

[CreatureFeatures75]

Hey that's the Cowardly Lion playing sax! Awesome!

[tabitwin]

love this movie and this song i don't know why...just always made me happy.

[SharSama]

I love Shirley Temple. This is a movie I haven't seen though. I'm only able to watch her movies when I find them at the library or a video store. :( Anyone know where I can DL it from?

[Creaky1964]

The woman dancing with Shirley and Bert Lahr is Joan Davis who starred in a TV show "I Married Joan" with Jim Backus.

[brotherjamar]

Look close at the guy on the sax. That's the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz.

[darkson33]

Wow the uncut version...they didn't show the part of them holding hands in the south.

[9aspengold5]

I liked most of her movies, but not this clip.

[034667]

bill robinson and sherly temple are cute dancing together

[battersby255]

Christ she irritates me.

[1154886]

I have obtained a 160 pound Bronze statue of Bojangles and it appears to be Bronze and have heard it came from new york and was made in the 1940's. Anyone know where This may have came from or any history on it? He is about 4.5 feet tall and is sitting on a log with his cain and smoking a cigarette

[proobu]

Who knew Bert Lahr could tap dance? And that Robinson could sing? Shirley was beyond Mouseketeer ability with her skills at that age. I hope the rest of the movie was as much fun as that part.

[rossharmonics]

@proobu That was the greatness of vaudeville. People grew up doing everything. There's one Milton Berle movie in the '40's where he does incredible soft shoe on sand (sawdust?). In the 30's and 40's, there was a whole stable of actors who could walk on for a minute and steal the scene.

[SummerSolsticeGirl]

@proobu all actors back then were triple threats! :)

[kikioneill]

Though it's true they wanted Shirley for OZ...it would have been a totally different movie! She truly wasn't known for her voice and I can't imagine her singing Over The Rainbow.

Plus I'm glad they didn't let her because it took YEARS to make OZ and think off all the movies she did at that time!

[sanoeishere4]

i agree with that shirley was talented but she was no where near as talented as Judy garland was and thank god shirley never made the wizard of oz

[9fungusheads]

i totally agree. she was very talented but she wasnt old enough and not as talented as judy garland. i dont think she was right for the part. instead of going to MGM she went back to Fox and was in i think it was called blue bird... it was suppose to be bigger than OZ, but it never was that popular

[sanoeishere4]

i saw blue bird and i don't like it at all i thought she was too much of a brat in it

[9fungusheads]

ya i thought so too

[trunzza]

yeah I saw it too as a kid but I thought it was really scary! there was someone dressed as a skeleton or something and it really freaked me out, is about the only thing I remember...

[Mutamaniac]

It took me a while to realize that that was Joan Davis.

Bert Lahr's vibrato is intense in a borderline annoying way. But to watch the spry graceful dancing of Bill Robinson at the age of 60 is both inspiring and depressing.

[creamofcardstv]

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some amusing 1930's movie star caricatures. They include: Shirley Temple,Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper, Shirley Temple, Joan Crawford, Johnny Weissmuller and many more.

[TheWhitey]

Bert Lahr Is Awesome!!!!

[katrinablue]

Bill Robinson is brilliant -- choreographed this number, too. Sad to think of the hideous discrimination in H-wood and elsewhere at the time of this film.

[Jayee123]

I can't help loving Joan Davis. Thanks for posting.

[lostonyounow]

Michael Jackson while talented became and is a no count

dirty pervert. Shirley Temple was always Americas one and only sweetheart and never did anything to bring any sort of shame to her life. What a sad comparison!

[aimeedus]

what is your point micheal jackson is till one of the greatest child performer of all time.regardless of what he might have done as an adult

[YiSoonShin]

Some kids like Michael Jackson and Shirley Temple just have the ability at that age to perform.

[sakurasoh]

Still as adorable as ever...

[Jootes]

Gee this is awesome! :) Thanks for posting this!

[musikview]

It's from "Just Around the Corner." Watch Bert Lahr (who played The Cowardly Lion a year later in "The Wizard of Oz" at MGM.

[NolitaDenise]

Don't forget MGM wanted Shirley for Dorothy, but the studio wouldn't let her work on loan. So it's kind of a double-whoa! Good thing for Judy Garland though. "The Wizard of Oz" of course helped maybe most of all to make her a legend.

[gigettagolightly]

Oz may have made Garland a star, but it also started her lifelong addiction to drugs, which were given to her by the studio. I guess it goes back to, would you rather be a legend (and perhaps die young), or live to a ripe old age, but not have all the accolades? I wonder what Liza & Lorna would've chosen for their mom?

[sanoeishere4]

judy did not chose to take those pills,but that has nothing to do with her talent and she was a great mom i have read old interviews of hers where she said she had to cancel some stuff for her kids,not a lot of actresses did that.

[ExAxLxPx12]

what movie is this one from?

[daffydaisy]

brings back memories! thanks!
