I love it!

And I love her dress. I wish they made dresses like that today. . . .

Yes, we thought we were so liberated in the 60s onward. But Cyd, and Dinah Shore, Doris Day, and many others… THEY were hot as hell.

Ladies, you are trying to attract Men, not flies.

In the musical movie biz, you know you’re among class when MGM makes a movie like “The Band Wagon”, directed by Vincente Minnelli…..

..and has an uncredited writer by the name of Alan Jay Lerner contributing his stuff to it!

From an obit, excerpted at Born Again Redneck:

Looking back on her work with Kelly and Astaire during a 2002 interview in The New York Times, Charisse said that her husband, Martin, always knew whom she had been dancing with. "If I was black and blue," she said, "it was Gene. And if it was Fred, I didn't have a scratch." In a 1992 interview with The Times, she remembered dancing with Astaire to Michael Kidd's demanding choreography in "Silk Stockings" and said admiringly, "Fred moved like glass."

She was a classic!
