      Imagine if they dropped her. She’d land face first on wooden stairs... then tumble all the way down.
      Of course, she’d probably just pop right back up and bust into some insane tap routine because she’s Vera Ellen and that’s the how the Vera Ellen do. #zefrank

      I hate to be the one to inform you, as much as I love this movie, the minstrel show they are talking about in this scene is actually referring to blackface minstrelsy. The green and red dancers represent a watermelon for the stereotype of black people eating watermelons. The tambourines even have faces painted to resemble old minstrel characters. There is nothing light hearted about this scene. Every movie has issues and older ones usually have deeply troubling issues like racism.

    I am Ileana Rothschild, and Vera Ellen was my aunt by marriage. I was born in 1967 and my mother and I went for my first visit to my aunt Vera’s home on Outpost Cove in Hollywood, CA.
    My mother became one of her very close friends, and Aunt Vera gave her many of her baby Victoria’s personal items for me.
    I know for a fact that Vera never stopped taking dance classes and maintained her slim figure always. Vera was an avid swimmer and she took me for my very first swim with her in her beautiful heated pool when I was only one month old.
    My mother and Vera stayed good friends and often had dinner together. At times when having dinner at Vera’s home they were accompanied by Vera’s aged mother.
    At this time Aunt Vera had been recovering from a mild stroke and would use a regimented swimming program as part of her total recovery: but had no eating disorder.
    My aunt Vera Ellen was a fine loving and kind person with a beautifully toned body, which she always maintained.

    John Brascia -dancing opposite Vera Ellen in “White Christmas,” was featured dancer on Broadway and in several Hollywood musicals-one of the most athletic and controlled I have ever seen. He was also an actor in the 1970’s. In this number, towards the end, he dances up the staircase for six and a half steps BACKWARDS. Amazing.

    The first male dancer to enter the frame, Luigi Facciuto, (1925-2015) became a world-renown jazz dance teacher. His method became the world's first standard technique for teaching jazz and musical theater dance.
    I studied with him for 5 years in the late 1980's. I was a klutz. But I always felt welcome in his classes which, in those days, took place in a historic glass-roofed studio atop Carnegie Hall.

    But Vera-Ellen has achieved a unique kind of immortality with White Christmas. It is as iconic to the Holiday as It's a Wonderful Life. the Peanuts Christmas, Rankin-Bass's Rudolph, and Scrooge.

    I watch this every Christmas. I don’t see racism it’s only there if you want it to be. Remember this was made in 1950’s different times Just enjoy instead of finding fault where none was intended. Merry Christmas 2024. ❤❤❤

    I love this movie the more I watch it! It has everything including patriotic song and dance, Hollywood extravaganza numbers, love songs, transgender frolics and seductive lounge acts. That's heavy for a !950's Christmas movie!!....

    I remember watching this movie for years on end and the cut out on the front and the back of her outfit sort of confused me. It was asymmetrical and didn't really make much sense.
    But today it hit me what that cut out is. It's supposed to represent a ponytail along the lines of I Dream of Jeannie. So when you look at her from the front or the back she still has the illusion of a ponytail hanging down. Never understood that until today. Now that I see it, I truly love the outfit.

    You all are judging a thin woman, but god forbid anyone say anything about obese/large women. If this were an overweight person, you would be praising her unhealthy body size. But it’s a thin woman, so you all are insecure and quick to judge something you don’t like or can’t be.

      Vera-Ellen has incredible strength and durability to do what she did. The amount of takes, over and over and over and over...and that's just on the set, not even counting all of the preparation that goes into each number. Her feet must be murder. It's like running a marathon multiple times while shooting a film. She'd be the strangest one of them all.

    I love the implication of these old songs, that nobody ever did it until they got married

      Yet, there are plenty of songs from olden days which are all about doing it, regardless of marriage.

    in the beginning when she's going down the stairs, her pelvis moves so strangely she reminds me of those little brown coffee loving aliens from MIB

      And yet she went down those stairs in those heals without looking down at all.
