Sandy Duncan and Tommy Tune tap their way through "He Loves and She Loves" from "My One and Only". This was part of a regional TV special, "Stars of Texas" - Sandy being from Tyler, and Tommy from Wichita Falls.
Adele Astaire and Allen Kearn sang and danced this in the Broadway show Funny Face. It was then in the movie by the same name and performed by Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn. Miss Duncan and Mr Tune do all those artists proud. They are remarkable together and such an honor to observe. I’m just a slacker because I can’t stop watching this extraordinary and charming number. We could certainly use more of this now. Just an opinion from a 73 year old wannabe!
He’s so tall and she’s so average, I think it must be very hard to choreograph the routine in such a way that they wind up anywhere near each other. That, added to their obvious skill, just adds another layer of complexity to it.
I never ‘bought’ Tommy as a straight male lead and I write this as a gay man myself. His arms, or more so his hands, when he dances here… as a little bit too decorative.
