In Broadway Melody of 1940, the incomparable Fred Astaire teamed up with powerhouse tap sensation Eleanor Powell — and what followed was pure cinematic brilliance. Astaire was already considered the smoothest dancer in Hollywood. But even he later admitted that Eleanor Powell was one of the only dancers who truly challenged him on screen. Their legendary “Begin the Beguine” finale isn’t just a dance number — it’s a duel of elegance and precision.

Fred Astaire brings in the New Year with his “drunk” dance in the 1942 musical “Holiday Inn”. His very patient partner is Marjorie Reynolds. Astaire wrote about shooting this scene in his autobiography, saying: “I had to look plenty drunk in that bit and figured there was only one good way to do it. Yes, you’re right. I took two stiff hookers of bourbon before the first take and one before each succeeding take. I had to fall down on my face and be carried out for the finish. It was hot on that stage, too! All in all we did it seven times. The last one was the best.”

Fred Astaire used to get ideas for his dance numbers while being awake at 4 in the morning. The cane being used has a gun in this scene in "Top Hat" (1935) was one such idea. While he was filming the scene, James Cagney visited the set. Cagney had expressed enthusiasm about Astaire's work and had sent him several telegrams to that effect which Astaire prized greatly. But when he turned up on the set, Astaire got nervous. Cagney liked what Astaire was doing and told him so. Astaire had to ad lib one part of the scene to get the spontaneous effect he wanted. Cagney watched and whispered to Astaire after the third take, “Don’t shoot it again, kid—you got it on the second take. You’ll never top that one.” Astaire insisted on one more take, but after seeing the rushes the next day, he understood Cagney was right and the second take was the perfect one. ("Steps in Time", Fred Astaire, 1981) P.S: On this day, 91 years ago, "Top Hat" (1935) premiered in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Debbie Reynolds on how Fred Astaire helped her when she thought of giving up during the filming of "Singin' in the Rain" (1952): "I’ve never worked so hard. I was dancing for eight hours a day. Making 'Singin’ in the Rain' (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I’ve ever done. The movie was actually harder, because it hurt me everywhere, most of all my brain and my feet. My father had raised me never to start a job unless I planned on finishing it, and I was determined to do my damnedest. The word quit was not in my vocabulary. Still, Daddy had never been in a musical film. One day I crumpled in a heap under the rehearsal piano, crying. Fred Astaire came to my rescue. He asked me why I was crying, and I told him the dancing was so hard, I thought I was going to die. “You’re not going to die,” he said. “That’s what it’s like to learn to dance. If you’re not sweating, you’re not doing it right.” He took me to the studio where he was rehearsing with Hermes Pan, another great MGM choreographer. I watched in awe as Fred worked on his routines to the point of frustration and anger. I realized that if it was hard for Fred Astaire, dancing was hard for everyone. No one ever made it look easier. His kind gesture helped me a great deal." ("Unsinkable: A Memoir", Debbie Reynolds and Dorian Hannaway, 2012) P.S: On this day, 74 years ago, "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) premiered in Miami, Florida, USA.
