- Cyd dances and Eileen sings for her in this great Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart song. I believe Dee Turnell sings for herself. In the film, the ballet is danced to "This Can't Be Love" - but I believe it was filmed to this track.
Remember the youth 'mid snow and ice
Who bore the banner with the strange device: "Excelsior!"
This motto applies to folks who dwell in
Richmond Hill or New Rochelle, in Chelsea or
In Sutton Place. You've got to reach the heights to win the race.
See the pretty apple, top of the tree,
The higher up, the sweeter it grows.
Picking fruit you've got to be
Up on your toes!
See the pretty penthouse, top of the roof,
The higher up, the higher rent goes.
Get that dough, don't be a goof;
Up on your toes!
They climb the clouds
To come through with airmail.
The dancing crowds
Look up to some rare male
Like that Astaire male.
See the pretty lady, top of the crop.
You want to know the way the wind blows?
Then, my boy, you'd better hop
Up on your toes!
Up on your toes!
Classic and Modern dance mix together to make a Work of Art
Words and Music is amazing. When I was a kid, I was stunned at how inventive these lyrics were! The whole film is a true MGM showcase.
Hooray for Hollywood and Cyd. Thank you.
FABULOUS!
This is such a fine TREAT! I've been watching this video over and over and today, while going through the movie to take screencaps for my social media post ("Words and Music" turns 70 tomorrow!!), realized how right Allan was. Cyd, Dee and the chorus dance to "This Can't Be Love" in the final movie and, although that track suits the number fine, I definitely think the full-length pre-recording of "On Your Toes" matches up both the choreography and timing very well.
I ad to do some work to make them synch. I think the film was re-edited after they changed the music.
I respectfully disagree Art. There's a reason why turkeys like this didn't end up in any of the That's Entertainment series...
This film is now--are you ready--75 years old.
Time when people were classy.. straight.. pure.. everything was beautiful..
Jumana Maher LIKEWISE!!! Those times are insanely yearned for by those who unfortunately didn’t even get the chance to experience them!!!!😢😢

Funny how Lorenz Hart, the lyricist of this song, was not straight. Nor was Cole Porter or Noel Coward, also song writers. Not too mention stars of the era like Clifton Webb, Montgomery Clift, Director George Cukor, screenwriter Dorothy Arzner, probably Greta Garbo, heartthrob Ramon Navarro, and many more behind the scenes of Hollywood and Broadway productions. It’s been that way since Ancient Greece.
But the class and beauty - absolutely agree. Which is wonderful that we have their films to enjoy today.
@@MikeShiv literally Gen Z and i couldn't agree more with the OP. Instead i got ghetto manerisms and vocabulary
The more I explore these films, recording and numbers, I realize that, yes, what you say is entirely possible.
It matched up so well that it seems like it was filmed to this track and then replaced later.
No guns or violence. When movies were entertaining.
Dee Turnell was dubbed both in this film and in Brigadoon.
yes Cyd could not sing She could do everything else 👍👍
@Michael Canestraro . It already says so in the video description (Eileen Wilson sings for Cyd Charisse) so I was just adding that Dee Turnell was dubbed as well.
@@CineKarine who dubbed Dee Turnell in this movie?
Robert Alton !
Dee turell is still alive??? Damn...
Why do you say that?
