I have a hard time believing Fred was actually drink for this. They say professionals are the best at pretending to mess up their craft, so I think it's believable that all of the swaying and missteps are his just acting (he was rather good at that too, after all). I could be wrong, but it just looks a bit too neat, even for a drunk dance, to be genuine. But who knows?

The perfect dancer would probably have to be drunk to mess up convincingly. :D I love Astaire.

A great dancer even when drunk! XD

Pure genius! In his autobiography, "Steps In Time", I believe he wrote that he'd had a shot or two of bourbon. Wasn't "Holiday Inn" originally in black and white?

@valjazz Yes it was. They colored the movie and what a grand job they did of it, too. The whole movie in color is beautiful, much better than previous colorizations I've seen on other movies.

From IMDB: For the "drunk" dance, Fred Astaire had two drinks of bourbon before the first take and one before each succeeding take. The seventh (last) take was used in the film.
