Of course how could this writer even compare Berkeley's staging to Fred's. Berkeley's staging of "dancing" when it isn't really dancing. It's staging as you...
I see one Berkeley parallel with Astaire. Although most of Berkeley's depiction of women are highly voyaristic,(See "Footlight Parade"), some of Berkeley's...
You're right Patty, he did win that Oscar in 1937. Thanks for catching that. The award category for Best Dance Direction only lasted 3 years, and he won the...
1)Here's an interesting question. If you could live inside any movie, which would you choose and why? A poll of Cape Cod residents included this answer: Mindy...
If I could drop into a movie world for a short period of time, I would be in "Jacob Have I Loved". I would be Louise (played by Bridget Fonda). Through a...

Well, I made it now through the 120th and last episode of "Dream On" and have to report that Fred did not make an appearance. For those of you unfamiliar with...

seems to have been the Queen of the B-movie, at least according to the book "B-movies" by Don Miller. Her name pops up numerous times. Can't say I liked her a...
Hi, Michael,  I just landed at a computer, or I would have responded before Mon, 9:15. I'm completely astonished by Fred's response. I have a copy of the...
I have enjoyed Ward McBurney's poems and have left comments. I just use another name for web comments. It's not surprising to me that FA did not particularly...
"The Band Wagon" is hard for me to watch because it reminds me of Fred Astaire's mortality--and thus my own mortality. The scene that really brings this point...
Upon listening to Ava speak about her Father (Fred Astaire), I felt the great love and affection that she had for him. She said he (Fred) was a wonderful...
