3:11 and that my friends is why I was such a hopeless romantic in highschool. I watched waaaay to many of these classic musicals and fell in love with all the guys. Lol😜
This song is NOT about the United States of America. It’s a love song. It is completely a play on words, referring to the FUTURE MARRIAGE of the 2 characters!! “Our (him and her) united (united in bonds of matrimony) state ( state of being).” And such a clever and cute way to talk about and plan for marriage! Ira Gershwin was great!!
WOW!! Debbie Reynolds got to dance with the great "BOB FOSSE""...one of the best choreographers EVER!!! Bob Fosse his wife Gwen Verdon were a power team...they RULED BROADWAY!!
Great number from a classic MGM movie that deserves to be better known. Great orchestrations and music direction by Andre Previn with assistance from Saul Chaplin and the legendary Conrad Salinger. Warner Archive VOD Service is fabulous--a must have for all classic musical lovers!
He did dance occasionally. "The Little Prince" is a good example. There were people back in the day who said he was going to be the next Fred Astaire. But I think he was better as a teacher.
“We’ll make the alter / strong as Gibraltar.” “Hurry, let’s name the date ... Darling, for our united state.” If only planning a wedding was this fun! 😍 👰 🎩 💒 And guys were this excited about it! 🤣
@@adriansullivan7629 Me three!! lol I once went at her academy in LA and there was a spot with her name on right in front, sadly her car was not there. So, no way I would find her in her own stablishment...oh well! I wish I could have met her though...
Winston Bribach I agree. Bob Fosse was a good dancer, but was neither a great singer nor a great actor. Whatever happened to him after he stopped performing in movies at MGM?
@@tombennett3827 Is that a rhetorical question? Fosse's a Broadway legend due to his directing and choreography. He won numerous Tony Awards and an Oscar for directing Cabaret.
Bob Was married to Joan when he made this and Debbie looks a little like her here .. he later stated Joan hid the fact she was about 12 years older than he was...
The fabulous dancing doesn't make more palatable the implied xenophobia of the lyrics: "Never will know any foreign entanglements;/Outsiders will not rate/In our united state."
He is not bashing true foreigners. But saying he will be faithful to her, no affairs. This song is NOT about the United States of America. It’s a love song.

Ira Gershwin was great!! Listen to the lyrics again and I think you will see.
@@liorsmith I don't think you did understand the metaphor. Or you didn't grasp that it is a metaphor. They're not singing about politics or world affairs. "Never will know any foreign entanglement./ Outsiders will not rate/ In our united state" means "I won't be having any affairs outside of the marriage, and neither will you." Nothing more and nothing else. There is no implied xenophobia anywhere in sight--or within hearing.

Mr. Fosse. Foss. "Fred Astaire mispronounced my name." His Idol. Ms. Reynolds. Eddie Fisher. And... Read her autobiography. Floss? All That Jazz. Joan. Gwen. Ann. Ms. Mascot. Not Shampoo. His sister...Debbie said Sinatra begged her not to marry a singer...like a father to her...teenager.
Bob Fosse himself confessed that he realized that he could never reach the level of Fred Astaire (who was his idol) and that is why he decided to be "the best choreographer in history." He probably succeeded, but he himself recognized that Kelly and Astaire were way above him (as much as he tried to imitate them).

I like his singing too..just natural. I wish more men would sing!

A charming and lovely musical
Bob was such a cutie. No wonder so many women fell for him.
Two great talents come together to do such a skillful and enjoyable production number.......Bob Fosse and Debbie Reynolds so well paired. Great video!
Great number from a classic MGM movie that deserves to be better known. Great orchestrations and music direction by Andre Previn with assistance from Saul Chaplin and the legendary Conrad Salinger. Warner Archive VOD Service is fabulous--a must have for all classic musical lovers!
The problem with this number is the limited male dancer. I know is Bob Fosse, but it’s true.
I always love watching Fosse dance.
I guess this was on of the inspirations of LA LA Land coreography.
What a sweet number!
This is just FANTASTIC
Bob Fosse was a great dance an singer, that's too bad that he didn't go on doing this in movies...
He did dance occasionally. "The Little Prince" is a good example. There were people back in the day who said he was going to be the next Fred Astaire. But I think he was better as a teacher.

Фильмы красивые и даже где-то наивны.
Сейчас так не делают и талантов таких единицы.
A favorite movie of mine...
Thanks to Hollywood History, merci beaucoup from FRANCE in Technicolor print. Best ever!Best ever sound! Emmanuel
waaaaaaaa!!! amooo tooodoss los videooooos *-* y a Debbie Reynoldss!!!
1:12 - Yup. That's how I'd also react if Debbie Reynolds kissed me.
Don Gato couldn't agree more!!!!!!
@@adriansullivan7629 Me three!! lol I once went at her academy in LA and there was a spot with her name on right in front, sadly her car was not there. So, no way I would find her in her own stablishment...oh well! I wish I could have met her though...
I asked the receptionist and he said the spot was always empty...such a bait!! hahahaha
I'm reading Fosse's biography by Sam Wasson at the moment. It talks about had thin voice but i kind of like it.
Oh Wow! What a girl's kiss can do to you...
Rip Debbie
There just HAD to be a hat ! :D
WGNJMNFAS Look at Bob Fosse with Debbie Reynolds. ❤❤❤❤
🎼🎼🍻✨🌅 music 🎼
Is there an instrumental version of this song? Like other than the balloon dance? I can't find one and I'd love to have a copy of it
2:08 is that a king and i reference?
It's a nice number, but this should have been a duet. Debbie Reynolds is a better singer than Bob Fosse.
Winston Bribach I agree. Bob Fosse was a good dancer, but was neither a great singer nor a great actor. Whatever happened to him after he stopped performing in movies at MGM?

I like Fosse ' s singing.
@@WinstonBribach Yeah. He won the Best Director over Coppola's "The Godfather"!
Wouldnt it be grest if Bob's dancing partners did a recollection of him here? Actors were triple threats then!
Unfortunately, most of his dance partners are no longer living. But there are several clips here of actors who danced FOR him.
Bob Was married to Joan when he made this and Debbie looks a little like her here .. he later stated Joan hid the fact she was about 12 years older than he was...

I think it should be 'United State' - singular
You're correct, as in a state of being.
Huh ?
Julian Blackwell 50 states. Plural.
No, singular as in a state of union - a marriage union.

Is this Debbie Reynolds? I thought she was a blonde.
Yes she was a real natural blonde just like I am...sometimes the light is so dark it makes us look brunettes.

"Moving Around will be unconstitutional" ? huh? 2020 here and we have some investigations
No, it’s “Fooling around will be the unconstitutional” As in “when we get married, we’re faithful.”

@@tamarasdance Gershwin was a genius and so was his younger brother George!! Love all of the songs they composed together...
Is she wearing 2 skirt's?
A regular skirt and a petticoat, which they kind of used as a fashionable slip

Debbie was enchanting, but that dancer was a lousy imitator of Gene Kelly...
Laura Streeter He was everything you say, but as a dancer, he was just average.
Bob Fosse himself confessed that he realized that he could never reach the level of Fred Astaire (who was his idol) and that is why he decided to be "the best choreographer in history." He probably succeeded, but he himself recognized that Kelly and Astaire were way above him (as much as he tried to imitate them).
He won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony all in the same year!
@@yosefdemby8792 I know. But he was better as a choreographer than as a dancer. Here you can see that.
@@gabrielcoronado6395 Fair enough.
He never did anything for me mphoney as hell
