Please don't monkey with Broadway!

How appropriate!

...and wonderful. Love them, love the movie.

That made me smile, Mamie!

Here's another wonderful clip from the same movie.

By the way, the movie overall isn't all that fantastic, but it has some of the best B&W musical numbers you'll ever see!

And this is my all-time favorite tap duet ever put on film. As Frank Sinatra says in "That's Entertainment" (about this number), "You can wait around and hope, but you'll never see the likes of this again!"

Begin the Beguine:

Seriously, it just doesn't get any better than this.

Isn't that the BEST, PJ?

It's so simple and classy! The black floor, the off-white costumes and lights against it. The orchestra in the background, and all the reflections.

Wonderful art direction.

And these two jaw-droppingly talented stars doin' their thing out in front.

Pure magic.
