Gwen Verdon & Jack Cole dance together in ensemble number 'Happy Ending' for On the riviera finale
Before meeting Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon has been the muse and collaborator for another legendary choreographer, Jack Cole. In On the riviera finale (1951), Happy Ending with Danny Kaye, Jack Cole who choreographed the movie with Verdon as main dancer, makes a cameo performing. A rare moment in which is possible to see them dancing together onscreen in an ensemble number. It needs a bit of an effort to find him, here's a little guide:
- Verdon arrives majestically at 00:14 at the center of the girls trio
- Cole appears at 1:18 on the main platform near the girls, when Verdon is on the floor.
- at 01:36 Cole is the guy at the far left
- in her fantastic solo, at 01:37, Verdon doesn't dance with Cole but with George Martin
- Cole is right behind Danny Kaye at 02:18 and seems also to look at Verdon, who's right in front of the actor. He stays on screen till the end, reappearing clearly at 02:43 right behind Kaye, and closes the number at Kaye's side (on the other side there's Verdon)

To think only one of these amazing ladies is still with us! So sad!
Maravillosa bailarina!!!
xxxoxoxoxo GWEN, WE LOVE YOU!
Yikes. some uncomfortable and creepy shit. Bone chilling
I feel like I was just forced to watch my niece's elementary school play all over again. Egads. I never liked the 60's much - they tried way too hard to be "different" and just ended up being dumb.
Love Danny Kaye!
Hoorayyyyyyyy!!!
Terrific number of course and thanks for the details in the notes! Unfortunately the aspect ratio is is stretched and makes everyone look as wide as a hippo. This one is closer to the original: ua-cam.com/video/tlVTqg3o_J8/v-deo.htmlsi=eav7lju0ykAcRPrK
Paula wiped the floor with all of them !! 👏👏🙏
She was amazing!
are we suppose to know who gwen verdon is?...i dont
A mothers love expressed in the best way she knew how.
Are Jack and Gwen the two who have a little part of the dance that is just them?
Is her little girl around now and did she ever comment on this performance done especially for her?
Perfection ❤
Great Slut up nursery rhymes ... Blecch
soo Gwen just gave birth?!
Wonderful !
Magic.
That was really wonderful!!!!!
OMG. Always loved Helen Gallagher as Maeve Ryan. Never knew this side of her. LOVE.
What a talent this woman!
Danny Kaye pronounces Gwen’s daughter, Nicole(‘s), name as “Neecole.” I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the name Nicole that way.
2:57 Ha Ha
All she does is shake her hips and run in place!
I'm sorry you didn't like this clip. Unfortunately though (for you), your comment only shows your ignorance of dance. First of all, even if it was true that "All she does is shake her hips and run in place", you have no idea how difficult it is for a performer to do those things with such musicality, precision, grace, style and ease. Secondly I guess you didn't notice all the battements (kicks), pirouettes (turns), attitudes and arabesques (positions of the legs), elegant port de bras (arm movements) that she expertly did.
that is impressive as hell legwork there
that is art
Someone, ANYONE.... please HURRY and tell BEYONCE to WATCH this VIDEO....will TOTALLY go GREAT with her "country" (as real as her blonde hair) "music".....🤥🤥🤥....🤠
Ya know.. watching these three figures in black against a spare background reminds of Beyonce and All the Single Ladies. ua-cam.com/video/4m1EFMoRFvY/v-deo.html
Bizarre .. lol.
She did this 6 months post-birth. That's amazing by any standards, you know.
Bending over and looking through the legs at the camera isn't so nice dancewise.
Geesh…six months postpartum and she looks like that! Amazing dancer.
Fabulos
Nicole was in the movie A Chorus Line. Bob Fosse is her dad 🥹 What a legendary family!
Love this... just want to mention Danny Kaye's family was from Ukraine. I don't know where Gwen's family is from but she was so talented also!
The artistry of Gwen Verdon is awe-inspiring.
SHOW OFF!!! YEAH!!! YOU GO MAMA!
Wait....what? No twerking!?!?
I hope Nicole has been able to share this with her children. What a family treasure.
Truly timless and absolutely beautiful! In 1963, I was 2 years old. It is now 2024, and I am 62 years old. It is still extraordinary!!
Right there with you girlfriend.
Verdon is the perfect Fosse dancer. The dancers with her are very good but not Fosse-trained.
Imagine being a professional dancer.
What is wrong with her hips? Her waist is cinched in so weirdly just above giving a square shape to her hips. 3:21 Looks extremely uncomfortable
How Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰 What a Blessed little girl to whom was going to receive this video.
Oh my, saying this today would make some heads explode.
Not bad for a woman who had ricketts as a tiny child & spent her early years in calipers. ❤️ Dance classes were/are so important. 💙
I agree. I think swimming lessons are a top priority, because that can save a child's life. But dance classes are a close second. Dance is a life skill!
That’s amazing!
So talented and charming. When I was young in the ‘60’s I saw her in Sweet Charity in NYC.
So jealous!
So playful and talented.
YOWZA!!!
That must have been amazing!
SMOOTH! 🤗
Nicole Fosse grew up to be an actress and a dancer.
