    Couldn't really stand this show decades ago, but watching this years later I realize it was great.

    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

    I'm watching this Elderly man, shy and somewhat mumbling, with Cavett doing everything he can to make him comfortable; then he starts to sing and its a Perfect performance, the voice virtually identical to 1935, and in fact visually almost identical : What a wonderful Talent ! 😺😺😺

    It can’t get any better! It doesn’t matter it is at the end of his profession.

    Fred was as fundamental to my early youth as Bennie Hill and He Haw.

    You can see Fred is nervous, he barely looks at Dick thr whole interview

    • @esmeephillips5888

      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

  • @mindslaw4961
    @mindslaw4961 9 місяців тому +4

    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.

      Well to be fair, this aired over 50 yrs ago! Put it this way, if you were around then like I was, 50 yrs back from that yr was the 1920s. I knew very little about the stars of that era. Did you?

      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.

    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
