I didn't know Goddard had danced with Astaire, though. It was a pleasant surprise to see them together. Astaire is certainly the most elegant and graceful dancer I have seen. He makes dancing seem so effortless. YouTube, I agree, has revived all sorts of delightful memories.Prashant C.

I have mixed feelings about dance shows like DANCING WITH THE STARS currently running here.Prashant C.

I think they are good equally good but I'd rate Astaire a few notches higher.Prashant C.

Actually it was my wife who got me interested in Fred Astaire-Gene Kelly musicals that our local cable television operators used to show in early 1990s. Some we watched on VCR.Prashant C.
