UP,
UP, AND AWAY!
Some
dancers love
props.
We've
got four dances that
heavily feature
balloons.
We
know that some
people are afraid of
balloons, so --
seriously --
consider this a
trigger alert if you
are one of those.
But
before we take you
aloft, take a look
at what we have for
you from our website
today:
Donald
O'Connor declares
war on balloons in
this number from
1953's "Call Me
Madam":
The
tricky gimmick to
this Bob
Fosse/Debbie
Reynolds dance
number from the
seldom-seen movie
"Give a Girl a
Break" is that the
dance is shown to
you in reverse from
how it was actually
filmed!
"The
Colgate Comedy Hour"
is a cornucopia of
great comedy
bits. Here are
Nanette
Fabray,
Kaye Ballard, and Edie Adams working
their magic with
balloons from some
time in the
mid-1950's.
And, finally, in
1940's "The Great
Dictator," Charlie
Chaplin skewers
Hitler by making love
to an inflatable
globe.
