Question for Movie Buffs

Posted: 4/2/12 at 1:56pm

Every Saturday night, PBS Channel 13 shows a classic movie at 9:00 pm. In the opening credits of the show "Reel 13", they show various clips of movies. Does anyone know what movie the clip is from that has the woman dancing and behind her is a man (is he a sailor) dancing?

ETA: I found a clip. It's the woman in the blue dress at 0:15.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

God, that scene looks familiar. I haven't seen Easter Parade for ages and never saw Royal Wedding. But it doesn't look like Jane Powell.

Yes, madbrian, it's Jane Powell in "Royal Wedding" dancing to "I Left My Hat in Haiti." It's a big production number with her and Fred Astaire.

"I knew Besty would know the answer!"

Um, hello! I got it right! I might have even pulled muscle trying to pat myself on the back for getting that one.

Yes, thank you madbrian and best12bars. I'm impressed by your knowledge and how you have the ability to identify a movie from a 3 second very blurry clip.

Sorry guys- didn't mean to offend anyone but when I was reading this thread- Besty was the first one who answered the question with confidence. madbrian- you weren't sure as indicated by the question mark. However, I am also impressed that you knew the answer too. That's what I get for reading the thread so fast. I am constantly amazed by all of you movie and theatre buffs and you are all greatly appreciated! Please accept my sincere apologies! :) Oh- and I hope everyone has a Happy Easter or Passover!
