The man was a genius and working with Hermes pan I hope we never stop watching his films on UA-cam TV or anywhere else these days I have a few of his films myself and their pure gold he once said in an interview the best answering ever worked with😮😮😮😮
Night and Day..My favorite song of all time.
It’s quite amazing to watch how he transformed from a slightly out of place gentlemen and then totally owns the stage once he starts performing.
Yes, I love it how Fred Astaire -- in performance and in person -- does move from shy and modest to entertaining and charming. 🥰
I loved anything Fred Astaire did, only reason I'm viewing Dick Cavett is because Mr. Fred Astaire❤ is the guest
Couldn't really stand this show decades ago, but watching this years later I realize it was great.
Just pure gold!
Fred had such beautiful phrasing, Kay ❤😊
Good point. ☝️
This is why Dick Cavett is such a good interviewee - he can take someone you've never heard of like Fred Astaire and make him sound interesting just by asking him about his friends and hobbies
How could you list Fred Astaire as someone "you never heard of"? You would have to live under a rock to not know about Fred Astaire.
I hope your being sarcastic and trying to be funny because if not ……😂
Only a culturally ignorant person has never heard of Astaire. Pathetic.😮
?!
You never heard of him??? I’m not going to insult you
Fred Astaire had class and swave man ♂️ who believes to be the best dancer of our time
Wonderful! Thank you. I would love to see full episodes.
Fred was as fundamental to my early youth as Bennie Hill and He Haw.
It can’t get any better! It doesn’t matter it is at the end of his profession.
You can see Fred is nervous, he barely looks at Dick thr whole interview
He was not a natural interviewee as 'himself', but as we can see here he could happily slip into performance in a heartbeat, without even standing or being counted in. He was more relaxed with Michael Parkinson, though.
How one would have loved to see Adele reminiscing about their vaudeville and Broadway days. She was totally uninhibited.
Dick Cavett has a rep to embarrassing his guests, maybe was waiting for embarrassing question from Cavett
👏👏👏
What about Leslie Caron?
Dick, you left out Eleanor Powell!
My personal favorite
The best!
She was not Fred's favorite, but the test of going to MGM (sans Pan and Hal Borne) and keeping up with her did wonders for his career. It broadened his repertoire, bc she was a ballerina and so he had to master a style he had derided in 'Shall We Dance'. That put him in contention with Kelly and fitted him to dance with Freed's ballet talents: Charisse, Vera-Ellen, Caron.
'Broadway Melody of 1940' heralded the third act in his nonpareil career- and there was a fourth to follow, with Barrie Chase on TV.

Thank you for delineating these phases.
Too think hip hops and tap has replaced this.
He left out Rita, too!
Hermes Pan was his shadow
Why's he talking about some lady nobody knows?
Did he get her fired or something?
Sounds like Fred was using her as a stand in to complain about method acting in general
😉👏
