Broadway Melody of 1936 - Eleanor Powell last scene

I had to recut this video 5 times before the copyright mafia would allow both audio & video to run. Out went 7+ minutes, including the best scene by Frances Langford singing. This is Eleanor Powell's first starring role, she went on to star in Broadway Melody of 1938 & 1940. I left in the Robert Taylor dialogue to give some context to the scene.

She couldn't act. But she could dance, Arguably the best tap dancer ever. The Nicholas Brothers were more athletic and awesome as well but they were doing the same dance steps 20 years later. They were all better than any of the crap we have today.

But she always wore her pants with a low inseam which made her long legs look less so. Could't the tailors have made pants that fit a woman's figure and not a man's? She was leggy but couldn't guessit by this video.
