It's Friday!

@suearcher @forestfjord That's the one, just found a link to the routine on YouTube!
I'm always astonished by their ability to dance like they weigh nothing (Fred Astaire too). If I even attempted stuff like that, there'd be a hole through the floor.

Also, if anyone fancies checking out the full routine it's here (kicks in around 2 minutes in & is very impressive).
@eclectech Oh! I love that number! The whole movie is amazing.

@suearcher @forestfjord Hahaha! They are very impressive.
Remember being amazed by the one where Fred Astaire dances on the rotating set. The combination of dance skill, nerdery of the rotating set and skill of the filming is astounding. Also nicely silly in places. Hits many buttons.

I just went and watched that again. Amazing.

It's Friday! Woohoo! Feels a little trite to wish everyone a good weekend in the midst of all this, but if at all possible it's important to try & recharge
Been a while since the dancers tried some live action moves, and they're maybe not as adept as Gene Kelly, but they enjoyed giving it a go.
@eclectech Great work everyone. I loved Donald O'Connor in this. Looking forward to spotting the Friends the next time I watch the film
Have a relaxing weekend and be warm and cosy. Thanks for making this such a lovely place to come to.

Have you seen this before? I just came across it.

Watching the original, I realise I thought the room was just constantly slowly turning whereas in reality the transitions are quite fast!

@suearcher @forestfjord Imagine how satisfying that must have been to be involved with. I love it.

Scenes from "Singing in the Rain" only serve to remind me that I will go to my grave crushing on Cyd Charisse.

I can proudly declare that a long time ago I started to learn this routine. Unfortunately I failed before the part when they jumped from the desk. -

We're used to camera trickery now - at the time it must have wowed people.
These days, they'd probably do it with CGI, where's the fun in that!
