It's wonderful to see all these newsreels - wherever did you find them? Are there any more of Fred? The bit in France was amazing, and the Stagedoor dancing, and with Delly - WOW! But what happened to the sound at the Oscars?

[MrNatashaRostov]

You can find lots of newsreels on britishpathe . com and movietone . com. Sorry, there was no sound on the Oscars clip.

is there a possibility to find the dance that ginger and fred did together at the Oscars ceremony this same year ( 1967) ? I'm looking forward to finding this dance

[MrNatashaRostov]

I haven't seen it anywhere, sorry.

ginger soo freakin cute....she should have won more awards

I love the shoes Ginger is wearing when she puts her footprints in the cement at Grauman's. Shoes in the '40s were so cute and flattering to the legs, and didn't look like the instruments of torture that stylish high heels look like now.

That Oscar presentation. As I recall, they came out from opposite sides and met center stage. He grabbed her, they spun, and as they came out of it, her forward momentum brought her arm around right into his waiting arm, at which point, they walked forward in perfect time. It was magical and I've been hoping to see it again for years. Is there someone out there who has it?

Fred is such an amazing guy!!! I love seeing them (Fred and Ginger) together. Not just on screen but off screen. You can tell they were such good friends. And btw, where did you gets these clips from? They're amazing!

[chilvari]

I love Ginger!!!! One of my fav. actresses! Such a class act! My hat always goes off to this woman...lovely heart and wonderful actress! She deserved that academy award for kitty foyle. All her movies are amazing and she's still the best female tap dancer to this day!

[CantoErgoSum]

I love how Fred immediately reaches for Ginger's hand up on stage in the Oscar clip. It's so nice to see them not acting together! And Ginger is still so slender and gorgeous.
