Clap Yo' Hands

Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson, delightful Tap and Jazz dance number in "Funny Face" (Paramount,1957). Choreography by Astaire himself to music by George Gershwin, and words by Ira Gershwin.

Ziegfeld Follies(MGM,1946)

Nice movie directed by Vincente Minnelli with a cool three memorable musical numbers and other good numbers.

"This Heart of Mine".
Superb modern dance number performed by Astaire with Lucille Bremer. Music by Harry Warren.



"The Babbitt and the Bromide".
Essentially, the only work of Fred Astaire with Gene Kelly. A masterpiece danced in two styles to the tune of Gershwin song.



"Limehouse Blues".
Another sublime modern dance number created by Eugene Loring and Fred Astaire and performed by Fred and Lucille Bremer. Music by Philip Braham.

"A Great Lady Has an Interview".
Nice song number performed by Judy Garland and boys. Music and lyrics by Roger Edens and Kay Thompson.

An American in Paris(MGM,1951)

One of the greatest musicals ever. The final ballet is probably the best ballet or musical number in the movie history. But the film contains other three memorable musical numbers. The choreography is by Kelly, of course, the direction is by Vincente Minnelli, music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin.

"I Got Rhythm".
Great Tap solo by Gene Kelly.



"An American in Paris".
Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and chorus in this masterpiece incredibly danced in four different styles (Jazz,Modern,Tap,Ballet!!) those kind of things that only these artists in the world can do.



"Our Love Is Here To Stay".
Beautiful modern pas de deux danced by Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron.



"Tra-La-La".
The other memorable Tap solo by Gene Kelly.

Someone To Watch Over Me

Wonderful modern dance number by Marge and Gower Champion in "Three for the Show" (Columbia,1955). Music by Gershwin.
