What a fun piece of choreography.... a chorus line and en pointe? who would think of that! I love it. Fred Astaire said about Cyd Charisse that when she danced with you you stayed danced with! She could walk across the room in slacks and a top and I would think it was art! Thanks for posting!
It's always fun to watch the early time capsules of the future stars. This was Ms. Charisse in her 'dance specialty' days, while the studio continued to groom her for bigger things, without not knowing exactly how to use her. Later in the same film she would have one line of dialogue and then be given a gorgeous dance solo in white opposite Perry Como singing "Blue Room." Great clip!!
Сид Чарисс красавица! Лучшая танцовщица Голливуда. Другой такой нет и не будет по сумме качеств. Не просто так кинокомпания застраховала её ножки на 5 млн. долларов каждую ножку. И это в 52-м году. Сейчас это было бы 50 млн.долл.
ooh,,lalala,,,just love this.. a gr8 scenic pic and dance of yesteryears......Cyd Charisse is truly a marvellous dancer.....
I think the film is "Words and Music" (1948).

Cyd reminds me of prima ballerina Yulia Makhalina... Stunning beauty and remarkable dancer.. She proved to be a talented actress as well later on...
BEAUTIFUL BALLET DANCE.
