Dream Ballet(Yolanda and the Thief)

The best of Fred Astaire. Memorable modern ballet in "Yolanda and the Thief" (MGM-1945) choreographed by Astaire himself and Eugene Loring. Lucille Bremer is wonderful. Music by Harry Warren and magic atmospheres by Vincente Minnelli.

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.

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.
