Director Vincent Minnelli

Famous musical movie star Tony Hunter (Fred Astaire) fears his career may be on the skids, but his friends, Lester (Oscar Levant) and Lily (Nanette Fabray), have written a Broadway vehicle to kick-start his professional life. Tony is ecstatic until egotistical director Jeffrey Cordova (Jack Buchanan) joins the project and casts ballerina Gaby Gerard (Cyd Charisse) as the leading lady. Tony's second chance seems to be fading, but he may get more than he bargained for as the show goes on.

A little fun fact. One of the fashion models in the clip is Julie Newmar who was the original Catwoman in the Batman series.

Fred Astaire called Charisse "Beautiful dynamite". Here's another sample of her skill: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNd5mrxyttGmk6c.html

Beyonce also used this ballet as inspiration for one of her songs, I think it's called Naughty Girl? Apparently Fred Astaire taught Michael Jackson how to tap dance. I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that The Bandwagon and the Girl Hunt ballet has definitely influenced a lot of artists.
