I love after their night out is over they continue to dance in the hotel corridor!! And when the obvious moment comes for them to kiss, they don't. Such is the difference from a 1955 film. Beautiful.
I always loved listening to Fred Astaire's singing - he introduced many songs which later became true standards. He was forever critical of his own singing abilities in many interviews. I recall a funny story which Mel Torme wrote about: He, as musical writer, of the Judy Garland Show, mentioned to Judy that he had once recorded a record album called, "Mel Torme Sings Fred Astaire." Mel explained that (before the recording) he talked to his friend Fred, who (while feeling complimented) wondered why Mel even thought that he (Astaire) was any kind of a singer. Of course, Mr. Astaire was wonderful in all he did. P.S. Judy (who had her own insecurities) turned to Mel and asked WHEN he was going to do "Mel Torme Sings Judy Garland." A funny lady!
THIS WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE....PEOPLE, IT'S TIME TO BRING ROMANCE AND LOVE TO OUR MOVIES AND OUR LIVES, STOP THE MADNESS, THE RAP AND ALL THE UGLYNESS THAT WE ARE INVOLVE AND SEEING EV'RYDAY IN OUR IN OUR DAYLY LIVES, BESIDES THE MUSIC WAS INCREDIBLE BEAUTIFUL AND MEANNINGFUL.
Don't forget, Fred Astaire's long time wife died, at the very beginning of the making of this movie. It's a tribute to his commitment to his craft that he continued with the production, and acted, and performed so well
I have never, and will never, get "tired" of watching clips like this. It's pure talent, and perfectly executed. Fred Astaire, and Leslie Caron, and Cyd Charisse, and Ginger Rogers FOREVER.
Worth watching over and over and over...and I have! I think It was 1957 when I first fell in love with this movie. Each time I watch it, it takes me back to simpler, wonderful times.
Another illustration of what a good singer Astaire actually was. Not a "great" voice, not a wide vocal range, but a so very melodious voice. He always sang accurately, precisely on the note, along with possessing an innate sense of vocal timing and phrasing. Class all the way...
Watched this movie with my sisters when I was 8, we got in trouble for sitting thru it twice, and not letting anyone know , and were late getting home. Loved it then and now.
Pardon my language... dancing today, guys fuck a woman. And they give it right back, which is ok with me, that's cool. But Astaire made love to women, and they reciprocated in kind. (And I'm a guy ;) )
This is one of my favorite Astaire movies. How wonderful of someone to put the entire film on youtube. Thanks. Here's hoping that many who are new to the film watch it here
F.Astaire - resterà nella storia del cinema - una star inarrivabile - non solo per la sua eleganza - per stile e genio assoluto - ma la generosità verso le sue partners - che mai ne oscurava i primi piani - ma le rendeva visibili e meravigliose !!
Fred Astaire's wife died during the making of this film, and for a moment he reportedly considered dropping the whole project. Leslie Caron has had some criticism for the stiffness of her dancing--and I think it shows in this number (much as I like her). Love the humor of the final moments when Astaire is alone in the hallway!
great song, charming number, and Fred's last really good musical. Caron worked very well with him. Audrey Hepburn, one musical later, definitely did not. as Fred would perhaps agree. but this one is SO surprisingly good. way to go out, Fred, but you may not have known it then.
Why is there such a stigma on age difference it's a film it's not real.... and anyway age is just a number it's about liking and loving a person for who they are not because of what society dictates....
@@Michelle-pn9xt it's just a film and it's not even real also her character was 18 and any romantic relationship came about 2 years later during the film when she tells him at the apartment.. so no she wasn't a child.
Great to see Leslie Caron in her prime, even if Fred was getting on a bit. She was always at he best when dancing with a super-star like Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. Didn't like her so much in "Lili". Cheryl was spot on about Fred.
Astaire was initially reluctant to commit to this film in the aftermath of the sudden death of his wife from cancer. It turned out to be one of his more memorable films of the 50's together with The Band Wagon and Funny Face. Interesting to note that Leslie Caron worked with Gene Kelly in his prime in An American In Paris and Astaire in Daddy Long Legs, also at his peak.
Fred Astaire had a number of excellent dance partners. The musicals in that period were idyllic feel good movies. Finding anything bad in that seems ridiculous. Today we have nothing remotely as good. Every Hollywood production features a Black Man or woman in a relationship with a white person. I find that disgusting and not remotely typical.
i cant get enough of her dress

Astaire was simply incapable of making an inelegant move. Pure magic.
Even the word ‘inelegant’ has elegant in it.

Dang these two lead actors are so talented! Sing, dance, acting...you name it. I love them don't care even if I'm half a century late 😳
Love this movie. First watched when I was 20 and single wishing I had a "Guardian." Always loved the idea of falling in love with an older man.
Old rich man yes
Worth watching over and over and over...and I have! I think It was 1957 when I first fell in love with this movie. Each time I watch it, it takes me back to simpler, wonderful times.
This is when the word 'professional' and 'talent' meant something - not X factor !
It doesn't get any better than the incomparable Fred Astaire. Leslie Caron pairs very well with him. The dress is stunning and so is she.

He sure had rhythm.

I love this part so much, the way he sings is so charming! And they're both so beautiful!
Forget the dress, movie, and talent... they don't make MEN like that anymore!!!! :)
So True!

Ooooh... i never thought Astaire could be SO hot!
Fred Astaire was truly "One of a kind". Too bad today's generation is oblivious to his many great talents.
But look at the women who were with him in all of his films-the best of the best-singers, dancers and actors all.
I say who cares about age? As long as both parties are happy, go for it!
i LOVE that dress
One if my favorites..Leslie and Fred,what a beautiful pair...Favorrite song too...
Favola a lieto fine con una splendida canzone (something's got to give)
she learned to dance really well at that orphanage
I LOVE this dance number! Merci!
they don't make movies like this anymore...to bad. Thank you so much for putting this up.
昔からフレッド･アステアのダンスシ―ンが大好き💕です❗👏
あんなに軽やかに素晴らしいダンスができるのが羨ましいです❗
What a mercy that I can to be
seen upon it.
Beautiful scene. Marvellous dancers! Thank you for uploading this movie !
So GRAND!, Wonderful scene..

However, he was a great tap dancer and had TALENT !
THANKYOU!

Skip Martin's super orchestration
@pdcushing actually, they're bringing that style back. A lot of designers are remaking these kids of dresses.
Astaire always ' played down ' his talents. It shows me a modesty that has disappeared from hollywood
I REALLY LIKE IT !!! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE IN SPANISH AND I COULN´T FIND. THANKS A LOT.
Now this is the way to romance a woman
Me fascina. Soy alma vieja .
They don't make talent like that anymore.
linda musica!!
Exactly!!!!
He had it
What about CinemaScope TechniColor scales?
Why is there such a stigma on age difference it's a film it's not real.... and anyway age is just a number it's about liking and loving a person for who they are not because of what society dictates....
Why is there a stigma??? It is disgusting when a man decides to date the child that he is taking care of. What type of parents did you have?
@@Michelle-pn9xt it's just a film and it's not even real also her character was 18 and any romantic relationship came about 2 years later during the film when she tells him at the apartment.. so no she wasn't a child.
@@kirstinecombe3204 He was too old for her.
@@Michelle-pn9xt I respect your opinion
1:09 - the song.
you're welcome.

How can she dance with those shoes
@pdcushing yeah they do

Que idade tinha Mr Astaire quand fez esse filme????
Tinha 56 anos. Mas no livro o Jervie só tinha 31 anos.
This was not Astaire's peak. It was about 15 years earlier when he was a younger man
.
@pdcushing: Well, that's not quite true. Look at this segment from Dancing With The Stars: ua-cam.com/video/2tvfUBEnoSg/v-deo.html
