Just watched this movie, saw it about 15 years ago and didn't remember much of it. It was great!! Much better than I rememberd it to be. I LOVED IT!!! And this song....OMG! Not that it has anything to do with this number but I laughed hysterically at his line: "I hear there is a stunning boiler down at the cementfactory!" :-D
Very Special Astaire moments (among so many others): with Eleanor Powell in 'Begin the Beguine' (Broadway Melody of 1940); with Cyd Charisse in 'Dancing in the Dark' (The Band Wagon, 1953) and in 'All of You' (Silk Stockings, 1957); and with Leslie Caron in 'Something's Gotta Give' (Daddy Long Legs, 1955), the last of which reminds one of the Rita Hayworth 'I'm Old Fashioned' number (You Were Never Lovelier, 1943) and of 'Thinking Of You' with Vera Ellen (Three Little Words, 1952).
It's why The Gershwins, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, and other songwriters of the era were eager to write songs for him and his musicals!
Number tells a complete story: Astaire tries, in dance, to break down the reserve of the beautiful-but-glacial Charisse. These film dances were always the most inventive, spectacularly exciting things to see on screen. And Astaire finds perhaps his best match in the ballet-trained Charisse- who could make a sweater-and-proletarian skirt sexy. Who says dancing need only be done on stage in front of an audience?
Yes, it is! "I'd love to make a tour of you: the arms, the eyes, the mouth of you; the east, west, north and the south of you." It could not be more sexy and lovely audacious!
I love Fred Astaire´s singing.
I love Fred and Cyd - Wonderful to watch!
FABULOUS - I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY -
Thank you

Astaire may not have possessed the greatest of voices, yet somehow he could convey the meaning and magic of these great standards as few others could.
Someone said he was there best at that

Thumbs up if The Miles Davis Quintet brought you here.

Is this not one of the sexiest songs you've ever heard? Now if I were Cyd Charisse I would've been up and dancing by 0.32.
Yes, it is! "I'd love to make a tour of you: the arms, the eyes, the mouth of you; the east, west, north and the south of you." It could not be more sexy and lovely audacious!
Gives me goosebumps
