@@MisterBearNaked You and I must be soul-mates ; definitely Jane at her most charming,along with the rest of the cast. Most people choose “7 Brides” but I find it alarmingly sexist these days despite the great score and fun dancing.
RIP Ann Miller (1923-2004, 81 years old) and Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016, 84 years old). Jane Powell (1929-present, 92 years old as of 2021) is the last surviving cast member in this video.
My two favorite movies of all time are You Can't Take It with You and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and I grew up watching Singin' in the Rain over and over. Was NOBODY going to tell me that Ann Miller, Jane Powell, and Debbie Reynolds were in a musical together???? What a treat! This song is laugh out loud funny and not nearly long enough. 😆
I love this kind of understated choreography. The tapping of their feet in unison, the clever cross overs that have them changing positions on the bench, Debbie's extended arm and slight shimmy as she crosses. Sheer delight!
That was adorable! And the women look like.... women. I remember my mom wearing dresses like that. No wonder Dad looked at her with such devotion and affection.
Really? What did you expect? Was Ann supposed to start tapping her way around Jane and Debbie? The number is fine the way it is. Ann got her chance to show off her tapping later in the film.
