Another occasion when the mischievous Fred is dressed up like a gentleman but behaving like a schoolboy is in Shall We Dance when he convinces Jeffery Baird...
Have any of u ever seen Fred play any role other than a charming, mischievous and lovestruck boy? I think the closest Ive ever seen to him being unpleasant is ...
I think his character in Sky's the Limit is a bit more than charming and mischievous, albeit lovestruck, but certainly a man and not a boy in that picture. ...
Yes! In Holliday Inn. I would hate to be Bing's character, having Fred always swoop in and sweep the girl he was courting of her feet..... Also in Yolanda,...
Have just heard that Jennifer Lopez is shooting a movie called 'Shall We Dance' in Canada at the mo. Hopefully there is no connection............... Ali ...

Fred played the ultimate "bad guy" in "Mr. Lucifer" (Alcoa Premier, November 1962). He and his assistant, Elizabeth Montgomery, tried to talk people into...

I LOVE Fred as Mr. Lucifer. And he and Miss Hecate, Elizabeth Montgomery, have some firey chemistry. I hope you get to see this one someday, Alessandra - at...
I heard they are doing a remake of the Japaned "shall we dance." I'm not sure if there is a difference between the Japanese one and the American one with Fread...
No, they are definitely not the same. The recent Japanese film is about an uptight businessman who takes ballroom dancing lessons in secret and it changes his...

Last night in Beverly Hills they paid homage to Vincente Minnelli, on his Centennial, as we did four years ago this time of year, to our Fred. There were many...
Yeah redemption in the end still means he was good on the inside - still not a bad guy in essence. I havent actually seen Yolanda but in "You were never...
I am very relieved that J-lo is not attempting to play ginger. A pop star impersonating a classic musical star? As Jeffrey Baird would say "Sacrilege, I forbid...

Before I start on this, I wish to register my bemusement over references to me over the past several days on this very site. Frankly, I am hopelessly confused...
Fred was not a fan of Michael Jackson's or of the newer musicals such as Grease or Saturday Night Fever. But to be diplomatic, he would say as little as...
I believe that Maureen is right on the nose with this one. Fred was an unlikely fan of Jackson...however, he did express his enthusiasm for Jackson, be it...
Maureen: Thanks so much for the report about the Minnelli tribute. Of course, I, too, would vote for The Bandwagon, as much as I also love Singin' in the...

Dont be too harsh on the "youngish" being 18 myself i must confess to being one of them. Furthermore I've never heard of the Hindenburg disaster or LBJ, and ...
