Very few people your age have a grasp on such films.. No, you were born at the right time.. There are quite a few young folks like yourself, who not only love films such as these, but, will one day, work hard to see that they are not once again forgotten..

@aqu1r3. Have you watched Eleanor Powell dancing solo to George & Ira Gershwin's Fascinatin' Rhythm sent in by Shuarayki18481?. It is basically tap-dance but involves the whole body & is an absolute marvel of co-ordination lasting nearly four minutes. In my opinion, of its kind it has never been equalled & almost certainly never will be!.

amazing dance

well, Astaire is one of a kind. Let me suggest you take a look at Savion Glover, however: different, but staggering talent.

Fred Astaire, ginger rogers, and Eleanor Powell are amazing at tap dancing!

There's pretty much people who like this things. Today's "commercial" of this era kinda thing is Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane is awesome. Last documentary just opened my eyes on it :)

When I was a kid growing up and into my adulthood I wouldn't have given you a plugged nickel for this kind of stuff. I am now in my late 50's & love to watch these. Fred Astaire once admitted that Eleanor Powell was the only female he could not out tapdance. I believe every word of it. She was the best female tapdancer there ever was. I enjoy watching these old musicals, especially from the 1940's. We don't have these kind of entertainers any more.

Eleanor Powell was the greatest TAP dancer of all time, period! No female ever came close to her dancing talents.
