WHʘ?! spirals down the celestial firepole on wings of slack, seizes the wheel of the cosmic bus, and embarks upin a bewilderness adventure of higher nondoodling? Who, haloed be his gnome, loiters on the threshold of the transdimensional doorway, looking for handouts from Petey? Who, with his doppelsläcker and snideprick, Cousin Dupree, wields the pliers and blowtorch of fine insultainment for the ridicure of assouls? Who is the gentleman loaffeur who yoinks the sword from the stoned philosopher and shoves it in the breadbasket of metaphysical ignorance and tenure? Whose New Testavus for the Restavus blows the locked doors of the empyrean off their rusty old hinges and sheds a beam of intense darkness on the world enigma? Who is the Biggest Fakir of the Vertical Church of God Knows What, channeling the roaring torrent of 〇 into the feeble stream of cyberspace? Who is the masked pandit who lobs the first water balloon out the motel window at the annual Raccoon convention? Shut your mouth! But I'm talkin' about bʘb! Then we can dig it!

Hah, syncoonicity strikes again...I think I saw George Clooney do that same exact dance at a club in Hollywood last night! His date eyed him suspiciously as well....;)
wv: bhtce it's true I can be that way sometimes!
Funny, I don't remember Cary Grant being a French.
Not that there's anything wrong with it.
That was surprising and initially, disorienting. Interesting to see how TheyGrant & Kerr, came through their actions without their voices. The dance reminded me of (probably a little sacriligous to compare, but...) of the dance scene in the movie 'A Knights Tale' with Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany. There the hero is set up by the bad guy, who intending to embarass him as a complete hick, asks him to show everybody a dance from his homeland. He's initially gawky, but his lady comes to his rescue, and the music, as anachronistic as your clip, in the medieval hall is David Bowie's 'Golden Years' - but sort of accomplishes the same thing as this - the archetypes persist, through, and perhaps in spite of, whatever the current fashion may be.
It does, that is, assuming that the individuals involved are Men and Women... try the same thing with KFed and Brittaninny and... well... contents may settle during shipping.
that was just gaye...
Shut up, Napoleon. You're just jealous 'cause he picked up so many babes.
Um, that's Ingrid Bergman.
Just sayin
Perfectly understandable. He's obviously confusing it with A Gaye Affair to Remember.
Doh! Yes I was thinking of 'An Affair to... uh... to...Remember!' All the frenchie talk... that threw me off... yeah, that's the ticket... it's the French's Fault! It's always their fault!
(sheesh)
Van
I thought it was the fault of the French youts,oh wait that would be now not then, never mind.
Heh.
On the topic of dancing, you REALLY need to check out Chris Walken in this clip: Weapon Of Choice
Seriously. Don't miss it.
Ben had a lot of 'splainin' to do, and he finally has done it.
yeah, right Kip! I could pick up a million chicks if i wanted to! Gosh!
Greatest.Film.Dance.Ever.

Napoleon, chicks only dig guys with skills -- num chucking skills, bow hunting skills, blogging skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
I can dance like this.
>> . . . there was a time when American movies reflected the eternal archetypes of the soul. Emphasis on the soul<<
Yup, and that's when actresses were really distinct, really vivid in their feminine power.
Hepburn, Davis, Russel(Rosalind), Stanwyck, etc.
Contrast and compare with today's colorless array of female impersonators.
Will said "Contrast and compare with today's colorless array of female impersonators."
Not nearly as bad as the male impersonators.
About the Dance... Although, O'Connor was no slouch, along those lines, I gotta go with Fred Astaire dancing up the walls and ceiling, or the one (shows up in the scroll list below the above link)'show jumps, where he makes a mop look good!
Smoov,
Walken's a contender... although one senses that his leap across the lobby may have benefited from some... eh... special effects.
But this feeling isn't purely mental
Van, Not only could our man sing and dance - he could play the piano.
MizzE,
And I dooo like that piano - is that Jazz or Ragtime? Dunno, don't care, Liiike it.
A shame that the world those movies sprung from is gone. I'm not a nostalgist, or a doom and gloomer, I don't think we can or should go back to that world, but I do hope we manage to pass through the spiritual doldrums we're mired in now, and achieve something worthy of looking that time in the eye.
The cheap, infantile cynicism paraded about as a personal point of view, as a mark of 'Personality' by the likes of Clooney, etc, with the deliberately 'bed head' hair styles, etc, - would have been vaporized in the face of a Fred Astaire.
Sigh. Sorry for straying into the Donny Downer mode - the sight of such joyus exuberance, properly termed as Gay (I brutally hate the lefties for destroying that and other such words) on my PC, while some despicable drec flips by on the TV behind it as kids shows! as humor! It's depressing...
Aeschylus's observation that "There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief" is so true.
I'm now posting about my conversion experiences and religious questions on the blog I started for the Modern Military Heroes project (now dormant until I have half a minute to think straight.)
Please visit whenever you like. I'll try to post every Sunday.
Thanks!

Oh, yeah, dance Sunday!
