Cyd Charisse was an unforgettably elegant dancer. Fred Astaire called her "beautiful dynamite." Arguably the best female dancer in film history, Cyd was clearly the smoothest and had some of the most celebrated numbers. Classically trained in ballet, she starred with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in two of the best musical/dance movies: Singin in the Rain and The Band Wagon. Also included here is one of my favorites Silk Stockings (also with Fred), Brigadoon (with Gene), The Harvey Girls (with Judy Garland), East Side West Side, and Tension. Music is Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Legs (Artemis Pyle). Guiness Book of World Records noted Cyd as having the "most valuable legs" reportedly accepted for a $5 million policy.

  • Absolutely loved this!

    I am so speechless!

  • @cloudidogz Oh yes, it's impossible not to notice her :D

  • @TheBigValley Mirko, you nailed it! I had to show those scenes...also James Mason is in it. My favorite of the lesser known movies here is the Harvey Girls with Judy Garland who was just incredibly irresistable in it!

  • Cloud, beautiful work!! Perfect "The Elegance of Movement" title! Cyd, is the best representative of movie musicals. The most beautiful legs of the dance!! I really like the combination of music. The video begins with grace, thanks to the wonderful music of Cavalleria Rusticana, and then become explosive with Artimus Pyle, bringing out the sensuality of this beautiful actress!

  • @MonroeSmile The film with Stanwyck-Charisse-Gardner is "East Side West Side".
