"Cheek to Cheek" is by Irving Berlin, not Cole Porter,, as is the score of this film. One big Betlin tune after another! :)

I think they exhibit very clean dancing and performing talent. They obviously have the scripts written for them. I mean how many movies can be done with three identical dancers in them. They are clearly different from the Three Stooges. No comparison in any way. These guys have talent!

It took a while, but these guys really grew on me! Better than Adam Sandler for sure.
-
I was never a fan of those guys,
That was very, very nice.

Once they get going they're good!

What great development of a song. The insertion of cole porters "cheek to cheek" was a scream. Thanks for posting.
-
That took a little too long to get going. I was hoping the chorus of "graduettes" was going to finally interrupt the singing to get to the dancing, but it could've happened earlier in the number.
This was a really elaborate set just for this one throwaway song - an entire huge telescope in a dome, with an upper-level walkway with sleek chromed handrails. And nobody ever went up on those stairs, or the telescope, as part of the routine.

I loved both the Ritz and Marx Brothers but I think the Ritz Bros. didn't get as much public recognition as they deserved.

This is so funny. I had never seen this. Thank you for posting this.

@Stroheim333 They were great "Nut" comedians, but Hollywood kept putting them in these overblown routines.
I dont think The Ritz Brothers was very funny in their movies, thought they was very professional. But I am deeply interested in them, because I know 1) their films dont make them justice because of weak scripts and 2) they was from night club acts a big influence on such comedians as Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and Jerry Lewis.

@tcmamc: The scene you describe is actually from this movie, One in a million. The Ritz Brothers impersonates Karloff, Lorre and Laughton on ice. Perhaps guggle86 wants to upload that scene to? I should be much thankful.

@Stroheim333 did you know that you can watch feature films FREE on archive.org (movies section). In particular The Gorilla (1939) starring The Ritz Brothers.

From the film "One in a Million" (1936) with Sonja Henie - the routine was called "Horror Boys of Hollywood" - I haven't seen Sonja Henie on TV for years!
