Fred Astaire + Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal [short film]
FRED ASTAIRE in SMOOTH CRIMINAL
Starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron
Choreographed by Michael Kidd
'Smooth Criminal' by Michael Jackson
Video edited by CFJ
I love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this. The video features scenes from the Girl Hunt ballet in The Band Wagon (1953) starring Astaire and Cyd Charisse (those supreme legs!! The most perfect body a woman could have. So sensual, so elegant), to which MJ gave homage in his Smooth Criminal vid (also in a performance of Get Happy on the Jacksons show in the 70s as well as You Rock My World in 2001), and, as an intro, a sequence from Daddy Long Legs (1955) featuring Leslie Caron (in motion pictures, you mustn't put a coin into a jukebox in an ordinary way!).
My initial idea was using also Yolanda And The Thief (1945) where Astaire appeared with the same costume, a white suit, hat and a blue shirt, but I eventually omitted it.
Michael Kidd worked with Janet in the Alright vid in 1990, featuring Cyd Charisse (in the red dress!), the Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway.
If you want to see Astaire at the top of his game, watch his 30s and early 40s films (Ginger Rogers was not the best DANCE partner for him though. She was a great comedienne. The pair was more than just dance partners).

Bing Crosby & Fred Astaire - "I'll Capture Your Heart"
From "Holiday Inn."
Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Virginia Dale.
"I'll Capture Your Heart."
[FRED:] Here she comes, down the street
[BING:] My, oh my, ain't she sweet?
[FRED:] Why, here comes my hot toddy
[BING:] Over my dead body
[BING:] I'll capture her heart singing
[FRED:] Just wait until she gets a load of my dancing
[BING:] Just wait till I start singing
[FRED:] I'll take her strolling down the road with my dancing
[BING:]
I can't go wrong, a tender song and she'll discover my charms
[FRED:]
Some fancy taps and she'll collapse and fall right into my arms
[BING:] I'll capture her heart singing
[FRED:] Oh no, you haven't a chance when I go into my dance
[BING:] I'll take you through life singing
[FRED:] I'll make you my wife dancing
[DALE:]
If you could dance instead of sing
I'd learn to love you somehow
If you could sing instead of dance
I'd take you home with me now
The way you sing don't mean a thing
You'd better stick to your dance
And as for you, your dance won't do
You'll have to sing for romance
[BING:] I'll capture her heart...
[FRED:] I'll capture her heart...
[BING:] Singing!
[FRED:] Dancing!

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - I Won't Dance
A fun song from from Roberta, with Ginger looking lovely in one of her own gowns. Really, though, the main reason I uploaded it is the sexiness of Astaire playing the piano at the beginning. Oh my.
