Sorry everyone was not able to view the Bing Crosby Ecard I made for their website this year. I sent it to the Astairegroups, but it didn't go through. When...
My print edition of the New York Times had an obituary. The photograph was of OSJ with Fred in the "Heat Wave" number. Oddly, I can't find it on the NYT...
Boy, did she dance with him in "Heat Wave"! Her seductiveness combined with his single minded pursuit of her (with NO love involved) was quite "hot" and very...
This is Mike Clark's USA Today review of the Holiday Inn Collector's Set DVD, and I happen to agree with it... No disagreement. Paramount should have filmed...
Thank you for all the useful information re: "Holiday Inn" colour version. Although I do have USA DVDs, I think that I might miss this one out ....why ? If...

I read (in his autobio?) that he was given skates in his teens or early 20s and used to skate up and down the sidewalks of NY. His mother used to get upset for...
But I think that he would need to refine his technique in order to use his skill to perform to the choreography that we see in SWD. I wonder where he...
Unless, being the dancer that he was, he tried dance moves on skates. And being the perfectionist he was, did them over and over and over and......... Patty ...
That's part of it. But maybe there's an interesting story about WHERE he practiced or under what circumstances. There are Ideally suited surfaces for...
Since we got on the topic of noticing peculiar details. There is another one that has got me wondering. In RICH, right before the "Wedding Cake Walk" dance,...
