  • Saw this on Turner years ago and have been seeking it ever since. Love this routine, and love his sister in it. So tell me one thing. Why isn't there more about her dancing professionally? What happened? Or am I just missing more great examples of her talent?

  • @mtlyb Very is little is known about her in general, she was quite secretive I think, her being a Scorpio. But anyway not even her title as the World Greatest Female Tap Dancer has managed to provide the support and recognition that she deserves, look amongst my page for more of her. I do believe her son is working on a biography on her. - G.A

  • This is is one of the most impressive tap numbers i've seen...it knocked me out when I first saw it 15 years ago...nothing could make it better. Melody of '36 has been underrated too long...its one of the all-time great musicals...look at the big numbers from this film that were repeated in 'Singin' in the Rain.' This is solid stuff folks! Now that the studio has finally reissued this on DVD, we need to get a digital version of this on here to match the quality of the performance. Bravo!

  • Thankyou!!

  • I can't believe how many people have'nt commented, Eleanor Powell along with Vilma and Buddy are amazing dancers, it looks like your the only who can appreciate it paradisecovemomma......

  • Tom and Jerry :D

  • @mtlyb It looks like Buddy is just a skosh ahead of the cue for his line at 2:45. He starts to say "Albany" just as she's finishing her line. But guess what!? I don't care! I love this scene! It always makes me smile.

    I'll bet they were dead serious when it came to their comedy and dancing. But they can sure bring the smiles.

    Thanks for the Info Shurayuki, I'll check your page.

  • the sound doesn't match up at parts. but i've always loved this song and i sing it everyday before breakfast

  • Love it! Adorable! Just don't have anything this adorable anymore :(

  • You don't say! Jed Clampett wasn't always a grizzled old hillbilly. When I saw a program about his career, it made me sad that he missed out on the Wizard Of Oz because of illness.

  • You can't mistake that they're brother and sister,they look so much alike especially through the eyes,and although she(V.E.) moves with more elegance,Buddy's lanky snaky ones really stand out and make me smile.

    E.P.is truly amazing,as always!
