My tribute to Hollywood's most beautiful and dynamic answer to Terpsichore. I used clips from the following films to create this video:

Ziegfeld Follies (1945)
Fiesta (1947)
On an Island With You (1948)
Words and Music (1948)
East Side, West Side (1949)
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
The Band Wagon (1953)
Brigadoon (1954)
It's Always Fair Weather (1955)
Silk Stockings (1957)
Party Girl (1958)
The Silencers (1966)

The clip you had at 1:31-1:32, where she's in the white and her partner is in blue. what movie is that from???? Thanks!

@MrEntertainer1000 Charisse is paired with James Mitchell in 1954's "Deep in My Heart."

Well, I loved the clips you chose and the song. Very well done!

[slc2466]

@oldschooljamz87 Thank you. I'm glad you and some other people did enjoy the video. Cyd was the greatest!

I don't like this video. Why did you put so awful song to a wonderful selection of Cyd's Hollywood musicals? It's a crime, almost a blasfemy, awful taste

[slc2466]

@OjosdeGacela It's a tribute video to the incredible talents of Ms. Charisse. I felt the song matched up nicely with the carefully-selected clips. The intention is certainly for the video to be in the best of taste, not the worst.

@hazeldime hi there! the name of the movie is 'deep in my heart' 1954- a biography of an opera star starring Jose Ferrer. I hear it's not that good- as a movie- and cyd charisse & james mitchell's dance routine (called 'one alone') is the best part by far! It is actually available on (region 2)- from Amazon marketplace for £17.95. I love the dance sequence just like you- but I thought I'd wait a while and hope the price goes down! Also, after much searching I found sequence on 'myspace'. Go see!

Wow! 1:32 was sheer perfection!!!

[aexputs1974]

Thanks for the clip ,the music perfect matched the dance.

One of my favorite on YT!

This clip makes one fall in love with Cid!

@slc2466 I like it. Cute job!

[limey1able]

ojosdegacela I agree with you about the awful song.I turn the sound off & just watch beautiful Cyd perform.

beautiful clip

What a dancer! What a beautiful woman! What an artist! I am at a loss for words to describe this extraordinary dancer. Cyd Charisse is unique, and thanks to the magic of the silver screen (and to the DVD too!) it is possible to relive again and again those magical moments... Thanks for posting this.

Statuesque, a great tribute!!

[ma4coify]

A beautiful tribute! What a pretty woman - and fantastic dancer!!!

Love your timing with Gene Kelly...the opening and 0:33...lol

Nice to have Ricardo from On An Island With You!!

[cloudidogz]

Love the video! (and the title and lyrics of the song fits Cyd well although the tune is hard to edit or to dance...if Cyd could). She really is poetry in motion!
