FW: The Forgotten Dancers
For those who remember.
Two of the greatest hoofers that ever came down the pike. Eleanor Powell was just too good. Fred Astaire never elected to be paired with her again. Frank Sinatra said we will not see the likes of this again.
They are not rolling around on the floor. Eleanor Powell is fully clothed with a dress below her knees, and in high heels, sadly a bygone era of civility and grace.
1. The year: 1940 (68 years ago)
2. The narrator is Frank Sinatra
3. It was filmed in ONE unedited camera shot
