@totalrandomcrap It was 1951 cameras were the size of your average car and computers existed in the realms of science fiction. when lucas made star wars over 20 years later he still had to use models and stop motion photography
@RubberNippleSalesmen Dude, can't you tell @totalrandomcrap was having a good prank? isn't the username a bit of a clue? (There's this literary device called "tongue in cheek", I believe it's the name for the technique he was using.)
@totalrandomcrap Actually, no, this was not done with CGI. CGI came in much, MUCH later...
This set was built in a giant steel wheel which rotated, with all the furniture in the room fixed to the floor and walls. As Astaire dances you can see where he's trying to hide the transitions as the room fails to rotate at fast enough for him to dance quickly from floor to wall, wall to ceiling, and so forth. There's no CGI here.

Some people just don`t know, when replies are either being serious, or just taking the piss. Wise up people.
