This is a song and dance number performed by Betty Grable, Gwen Verdon and other cast members from the 1951 film, Meet Me After The Show. Choreography for this film was by Jack Cole. Costumes by William Travila.
What's astonishing about this clip, in addition to Gwen Verdon's spectacular dancing, is that the final half is a tribute to Balanchine's LA VALSE, which premiered the same year as this film! Jack Cole must have seen the ballet, and then quickly put together this number. I don't think I can recall anything like this salute from one great choreographer to another.
FANTASTIC DANCING!

, Grable was named in the top 10 box office draws for 10 consecutive years. For seven of those ten years, she was top female-box office star.
