Fred Astaire the perfectionist

I Wanna Be A Dancin’ Man 1952 That’s Entertainment! 1974 Fred Astaire in The Belle of New York, narrated by Ann Miller: Fred had to redo the dance because they didn’t think his original barbershop costume fit his debonair screen appearance. These near mirror images really show how well he knew all of his dances! (It’s recorded that Mr. Astaire would rehearse his dance numbers dozens of times to get them perfect 😱)
