Pete Smith wrote, narrated & produced a series of shorts known as "Pete Smith Specialties" for MGM. The one-reelers covered just about every subject imaginable, from the animal world to the latest technology to how to handle annoying patrons in movie theaters, and of course numerous "how-to" clips such as this dance short. These were all delivered with Smith's trademark wry, bemused narration. He received 16 Oscar nominations & won two. He committed suicide at 86 after a long illness. Great vid!
Hahaha!!! That was fantastic!!! Boy they get kinda violent a few times although you can see why obesity wasn't an epidemic back then! LOL! Maybe this could be the next fitness craze ;)
