I acted in a local production of "Damn Yankees" as a child. This clip really brings back memories! Thanks for posting.

Aside from Fosse being known for this type of awkward dancing, everyone should remember the time this musical is taking place. She couldn't be a "sex kitten" and besides that would be too easy, boring and tasteless.

Now If only we could talk Tab Hunter into doing a dance act like that.

she is supposed to be the greatest temptress of them all. so of course she would temp him the same way second rate temptresses do. also i think the rising frantic energy is supposed to be (if her temptation were a success) a parallel to what Joe is feeling in his pants. he usually when she gets to that point on other men they are filled with same frantic sexual energy. also fosse is known for making odd and awkward dancing intriguing and beautiful.

It is with utmost sadness that I inform you that Richard Adler, who composed the music for Damn Yankees and its sister musical, The Pajama Game, has passed away at the age of 91 (more or less). His musical partner, Jerry Ross, passed away at the early age of 29 back in 1955 from a lung ailment. Richard Adler had 'heart'.
