The Band Wagon(MGM,1953)

After "Singin' in the Rain", it is probably the greatest musical ever. Everything is excellent, the direction by Minnelli, the script, scenery and colors, and above all, obviously, the incomparable ballets and dance numbers performed by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. The choreography is by Michael kidd and Astaire himself, music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz.

"A Shine on My Shoes".
Amazing Jazz Dance by Astaire.



"Dancing in the Dark".
Beauty supreme! The incomparable modern dance number performed by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in Central Park.



"Girl Hunt".
Another masterpiece: Jazz and modern ballet danced by Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse and chorus.



"Two-Faced Woman".
Cut number! Choreographed by Michael Kidd and performed by Cyd Charisse and chorus. Music by Arthur Schwartz.

"That's Entertainment".
Good musical number where Fred Astaire, Jack Buchanan, Nanette Fabray and Oscar Levant sing one of the american hymns of the show business.
