Little known fact: Vera-Ellen was suppost to do this scene in White Chirstmas with one of the male leads but she was just to fast. The younger man seen here had to be brought in to keep up with her.

I watched this routine so much as a kid the tape and the disc (does anyone remember the video disc?!) had permanant glitches. This is tap DANCING that I dream about!

@TheLights045 As we say in Moscow, NYET.

@TheLights045 Yes Fosse choreographed the film's dance scenes The carousel club scene would probably seem more fosse-like. Fosse was uncredited for White Christmas, another uncredited future Oscar winner George Chakiris (Nardo of West Side Story) is a background dancer in the Mandy and Love, you didn't do right by me numbers.

@TheLights045 Late, but the answer is No he was not in, nor involved in White Christmas. :)

@hallje13 I am currently doing the same, just have to talk one of the ladies into doing it with me. Do you know where to get a copy of music? Thanks

one of the best non-fred astaire or gene kelly dance numbers
-
They are BOTH great---that's style, that's jump and that's athletism---as good as Astaire and Rogers, Kelly and Caron. Only wish Vera-Ellen had partnered with him more.

-
She's incredible.

@TheLights045 According to TCM Bob Fosse did uncredited choreography work on White Christmas. So he's there, just behind the scenes.
