Vera-Ellen and John Brascia in "Abraham"

[veggiet2009]

one of the best non-fred astaire or gene kelly dance numbers

[windstorm1000]

They are BOTH great---that's style, that's jump and that's athletism---as good as Astaire and Rogers, Kelly and Caron. Only wish Vera-Ellen had partnered with him more.

amaginz legs, greatest and prettiest girl dancer , for me

[radgeek01]

She's incredible.

[Cxxlmanproductions]

Ooh how is she doing that without breaking?

[videochic16]

no if you watch the dvd and listen to the commentary and behind the scenes...this guy iis actually the guy who came up with all the dance sequences so they put him in.

[linorf]

where's bob fosse?

[TheLights045]

@linorf He's not in this... I don't even really know if he was involved in White Christmas... was he?

[linorf]

@TheLights045 Yeah he choreographed it all. but don't think he was mentioned on the credits.

[crankymisfit]

@TheLights045 According to TCM Bob Fosse did uncredited choreography work on White Christmas. So he's there, just behind the scenes.

[chaoscleaner]

@TheLights045 Late, but the answer is No he was not in, nor involved in White Christmas. :)

[IllianaJerk29]

@TheLights045 Yes Fosse choreographed the film's dance scenes The carousel club scene would probably seem more fosse-like. Fosse was uncredited for White Christmas, another uncredited future Oscar winner George Chakiris (Nardo of West Side Story) is a background dancer in the Mandy and Love, you didn't do right by me numbers.

@TheLights045 As we say in Moscow, NYET.

[Chattee41]

this has got to be one of my most favourite movies...she is amazing to watch, isn't she??

[colodude3]

I'm pretty sure White Christmas was choreographed by Robert Alton.

[jallen8484]

Little known fact: Vera-Ellen was suppost to do this scene in White Chirstmas with one of the male leads but she was just to fast. The younger man seen here had to be brought in to keep up with her.

[TheCatgirl6]

Superb! Now THAT's dancing! Anyone have any idea who choreographed it? Seems very Michael Kidd to me, with all the athleticism.

[nlty678]

I watched this routine so much as a kid the tape and the disc (does anyone remember the video disc?!) had permanant glitches. This is tap DANCING that I dream about!

[hallje13]

@nlty678 I taught myself this dance in my basement with the VHS. It had glitches by the end too. lol

[gamlynbanning]

@hallje13 I am currently doing the same, just have to talk one of the ladies into doing it with me. Do you know where to get a copy of music? Thanks

[MsGoldenHeels]

Love, love, love this!

No other way to express myself...
