I was watching the Fred Astaire number, Steppin' Out With My Baby, in Easter Parade. He has three different female dance partners in the number, all are very good.
As a curiosity, I looked them up. All three ladies worked on multiple musicals, usually uncredited. Singing in the Rain, Brigadoon, etc.
Just think...The old studio system produced stars, but it took a lot of little people to make those movies. Talented, uncredited, little people ...

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Slightly off-topic - I always loved the Tony Bennet version.
The Ralph Sharon intro (When They Begin...Fascinating Rhythm...) and then Bennet brings it.

Ok...
There is something iconic about that Astaire number ... One of the first films to feature slo-mo and regular speed dancers in the same number....

Yeah, that was pretty cool. And his handling of the cane in normal speed was impressive, but in slo-mo...wow.

BTW, because of illness (IIRC), Ann Miller was a last minute substitution in that movie, which helped launch her MGM career.
