It’s quite amazing to watch how he transformed from a slightly out of place gentlemen and then totally owns the stage once he starts performing.

Yes, I love it how Fred Astaire -- in performance and in person -- does move from shy and modest to entertaining and charming. 🥰

I loved anything Fred Astaire did, only reason I'm viewing Dick Cavett is because Mr. Fred Astaire❤ is the guest

Couldn't really stand this show decades ago, but watching this years later I realize it was great.

This is why Dick Cavett is such a good interviewee - he can take someone you've never heard of like Fred Astaire and make him sound interesting just by asking him about his friends and hobbies

How could you list Fred Astaire as someone "you never heard of"? You would have to live under a rock to not know about Fred Astaire.

Fred was as fundamental to my early youth as Bennie Hill and He Haw.

You can see Fred is nervous, he barely looks at Dick thr whole interview

He was not a natural interviewee as 'himself', but as we can see here he could happily slip into performance in a heartbeat, without even standing or being counted in. He was more relaxed with Michael Parkinson, though. How one would have loved to see Adele reminiscing about their vaudeville and Broadway days. She was totally uninhibited.

Dick Cavett has a rep to embarrassing his guests, maybe was waiting for embarrassing question from Cavett

She was not Fred's favorite, but the test of going to MGM (sans Pan and Hal Borne) and keeping up with her did wonders for his career. It broadened his repertoire, bc she was a ballerina and so he had to master a style he had derided in 'Shall We Dance'. That put him in contention with Kelly and fitted him to dance with Freed's ballet talents: Charisse, Vera-Ellen, Caron. 'Broadway Melody of 1940' heralded the third act in his nonpareil career- and there was a fourth to follow, with Barrie Chase on TV.
