I’m not a fan of Ginger Rogers’s singing, but Fred Astaire’s dancing afterwards is just great.

Begin The Beguine: Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell
Three minutes of heaven as Eleanor Powell, in heels, gives Fred Astaire a run for his money.
The clip above is from the film Broadway Melody of 1940. Powell was probably Astaire’s most accomplished tap partner. Astaire reportedly claimed he would never work with Powell again because Astaire (himself a notorious perfectionist) never wanted to work as hard again.

Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly: One Time Only
The one time Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly danced together on the big screen (except for the That’s Entertainment series) was in the 1946 film The Ziegfield Follies. Just sublime. Take a look at this utterly delightful clip.
