I mean what did I just see?, how? I can't believe that two humans can do "ALL" of this and back in the day? listen up dancers of today, hang you heads in shame. Oh,they entertained us so well,and they didn't have to put not one bump or grime in the routine OR TAKE OFF ANY CLOTHES and this routine is still entertaining us 75 yrs. later, now that's TALENT!!!!!!!!

there was no editing software back then which means this is all one take. these mother fuckers did the splits 20+ times without batting a god damn eye. seriously the most impressive thing I've ever seen.

To Hamhark98. Point taken, yes no doubt racism ruled the day then. But my point was I go to YouTube mainly as a diversion, an escape from the stress and crap of the day. I guess I just didnt want to hear about racism of the time because its done and over with. And its not my fault. Some people act as if I owe them something because of things past. I am NOT saying you are one of those. But yes I hear where you're coming from. We all know.

@Gepetto48 Why? Because they had to work their asses off and create mind boggling routines like that to even get a moment of screen time when they should have been the stars of their own tv show, theatre production and movies. Thats why.

Its because of racisim at the time that they weren't nearly as successful as they should have been. And thats a crime.

There were no special effects for this movie. Lord have mercy...people are too technicals these days. Back then, people worked their ASS OFF. And had the broken hips, blisters and feet to prove it!

@ valmisfilm ummm NO, YOU ARE WRONG .. this was awesome. and you don't see it ..

I am officially astonished; why were these fantastic ARTISTS never given the credit they deserved???I will never understand this world. I know attitudes were different towards ethnic groups in those days, but why were people so color blinded as to not see the sheer artistry and amazing agility these boys had? The purpose of dance is to surprise, amaze and delight, no matter what colour or creed.
