    My very old father told me about her awhile back and I bought a couple of old classic films with her in it. As previously mentioned one with Fred Astaire. She seriously upstaged him with her dance and that's a lot to be said. Hence the reason why he wouldn't make another film with her. Not speaking poorly of Ginger Rogers but she couldn't hold a candle to Eleanor Powell. God Bless her soul.

    Eleanor was a better dancer than Fred, as Fred once told Peter Ford. Eleanor wanted to make another film with Fred, but he wouldn't do it.

    At 4:35, Eleanor shared a dance floor with Mr Fred ASStaire dancing to "Begin the BaGWEEN".
    I admire good 'nunciation. I am not against 'nunciation. Rather, I am always PRO'nunciation. For now, at least, AI can never replace humanoids when it cums to proper 'nunciation.

      I had to stop listening as well because of the serious mispronunciation. These words and names are common knowledge. And when words end in “-ing-“ the g should be pronounced. Getting these things corrected will definitely make you sound more professional, Mr narrator.
