The use of screen grabs instead of production stills yields some fresh impressions of familiar scenes. Bravo! One small correction: at 7:58 it's Eleanor Powell in 'New Shoes' from 'The Great Morgan' (1946). The number had been cut from 'Honolulu'.
Very nicely done showing the various talented "dancing ladies"......they sure made the musicals during those years so enjoyable. Thanks for making the past available for us to reflect on it now.
Great video. Thanks! Although she wasn't known as a dancer particularly, Deanna Durbin had a really comical dance sequence doing the "conga" with Charles Laughton (of all people) in "It Started With Eve" from 1941.
Thanks! And that's something I want to see. I'm more familiar with Laughton's work than with Durbin's, but just picturing the two of them together is making me smile.

Thank you for your lovely comment; I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Cyd Charisse..wow.. elegant and gorgeous.
So many of these women were shown repeatedly. I saw only two pictures of my favorite musical star Betty Grable.
Judy Garland..the best.. beautiful and talented all around!💗
When talent was talent..these fine women set the bar for entertainment in general...put me in a time machine..I'm going back!!
Several women were shown repeatedly. Mostly MGM. They weren't the only studio that made musicals.

That was really good to actually see Julie Andrews in there that was a reall good video you should be proud of yourself hun xx good job xxx
I'm glad you got Dorothy Dandridge in there. Except the shoes held her back, I think, she did well with the phenomenal Nicholas Brothers.
Joan McCracken deserves more than credit
Where are Tilly Losch, Jane Powell and Dorothy Dandridge?
Beethoven's glorious 4th Piano Concerto, 3rd Movement.
Judy Garland had so many more great dance scenes .
