It was so wonderful seeing my Dad in this movie again. I loved him so much. He is playing the Saxophone and is behind Ray Anthony (who is playing the Trumpet) My dad played in the Big Band Era and before he died he was Tom Jones music director. But he could play the Clairinet and Saxophone like no other

Today is January 20, 2023, and I wanted to pay tribute to the wonderfully talented band-leader (trumpeter) Mr. Ray Anthony. A good many of you might be surprised to know that Ray Anthony has turned 101 years old today (born in 1922) and by all accounts, is still going quite strong. Bless his strong heart - he is still working and living his life. Happy birthday dear Sir!

@@LL-oc1xw Yes true, thanks for your comment! As a fun aside, the very handsome and talented Mr. Anthony was once married to the beautiful actress Mamie Van Doren (who is now 93 and still going strong herself). The couple had a child together (Perry, born in 1956) who recently turned 68. Ray Anthony remarked to his son (in the last couple years) that "your parents" have close to 200 years of (combined) life experience. What an amazing thought!

Today my comment will be number 504th. Can anyone say anything interesting after 503 comments? Hardly! Anyway, about the age of Fred in this dance as 56: his physical performance I can compare with how I felt, when I was at 47, when I became Kiev champion in Ballroom dance. It was hard. However, in the same year, when with my partner we won the third place in international competition, it was so hard, that after each of dances, (in particular, when we got into final), I was lying down on table in between dances to get full rest. How I would feel at Fred Astaire's age of 56, I can't imagine. Fred's stamina in this film is absolutely amazing! I would say that Fred Astaire had a single space in dance history - the first place!

@rivaridge7211 2 күн бұрын

Oh, a wonderful comment indeed! The great Fred Astaire was able to maintain a very high level in the "Art of Dance" for years - well into his sixties, in fact. His 1958 "television spectacular," called, "An Evening With Fred Astaire" ("live and in color") won a boatload of awards. He was brilliant - and his young co-star, Barrie Chase (who is still with us at age 90) became an overnight star. Congratulations, to you, Michael (and your partner) on your own happy achievement.

This is light entertainment, not to be taken very seriously but to be enjoyed. It's not intended to be realistic. I've also noticed the use of color in this remarkable scene as you mentioned. Not only do the women other than Ms. Caron wear pastel shades they arre also wearing black crinolines or the insides of their skirts are lined with dark material. This scene has been very well thought out.

In spite of being intensely devastated over his wife's death Mr Fred Astaire had resolutely decided not to quit but to continue this romantic musical movie at the 20th Century Fox. It's truly venerable act of the master hoofer. In all his musical numbers - particularly this Sluefoot dance sequence - we can clearly notice and simply commend his expertness,faultlessness,nimbleness,sheerness,and zaniness.His adorable dancing partner Ms Leslie Caron,his co-choreographer Mr David Robel,Mr Ray Anthony and his Orchestra,and an ensemble of dancers are altogether fantabulous. Mr Fred Astaire is the Daddy Long Legs with a big heart.

In one way at least, it was the other way around. He told her, during filming, that she'd have to learn to dance in his style, because he couldn't dance in the classical ballet style she was trained in. But that said, there's no doubt Fred Astaire was a true genius in his field: he drew upon some ballet with ballroom dance, tap, and more, and combined it with a natural gracefulness that no one else had, to become one of the greatest of all time, and as much as his partners are complimented for doing it "backwards and in high heels" the truth is that Eleanor Powell is probably the only one who could match him step for step.
