Confirmed, I’m 100% smitten
Robert Taylor.
The bartender and dancer of minute 2.15 is Nick Long Jr. (1907-1949), a child star in early silent film, who was later a well-known dancer and actor on Broadway stages and very successful in London for a few years. He incorporated more elements of gymnastics into his choreographies and was not a representative of ballroom dancing like Fred Astaire.
Sad that he died so young. He was amazing!
One of the most elegant dance films of the 30s and thus of the entire film history.
This era is just magical. Like a dream. The way people dressed, the way they talked, the music and vocals. What I time it would've been to be alive.
@jyes cyes Yep!
@Carl Ferrigno my parents seemed to think it wasn't what they say it is, because its been turned into something insane and big, but the great depression was not as large as people seem to believe it was. Might I add, this is 1936, the depression is done by then you imbecile.
@@artdecotimes2942 your parents are not a well resources to be taken solely, while there are many scientific, historic records.Maybe the effect of depression is exaggerated on middle-upper class but in general those were some tough times. By 1936 the depression was not done , only got lighter but US was never like in the 20s until 50s. 30s were a great decade for arts like theatre, music, cinema, paintings and literature but some tough, tough times.
@@muzafferelbeyli2756 the idea of the great depression was finished through by 1934, by December people were now going higher instead of lower in wellfare and banks were finally starting up again. My parents were in their 40s by the 1930s, my mother a journalist who reviewed people poor as dirt, to rich as honey, and has pages and pages of descriptions from the days. The best thing people could have chosen, was to live on a farm, made your own food, got a large portion of money for providing to cities necessary food options in grocery, and if it wasn't a dreadful winter, enjoyed life outside were it almost felt clear and un-deprised. The dust bowl in the west changed that for folks over there... it was mexico, Las Vegas, Hollywood, or up north in Seattle area or San Francisco if you wanted to get away from the danger of the crop killer. Its always funny when people scoff and talk down 1950 and 1940 for its smog issue in Los Angeles and such (judgemental assholes you weren't there at the time to even know what it was like), and all I can think is..a war is brewing, and we went through a dist bowl and white death winter in 1949, and they think we care if smog is in the air of a city. Which they can't even tell, because they are looking at black and white pictures making weak opinionative guesses because that's all these folks do in modern day.
@Carl Ferrigno The economy had rallied under the initial stimulus of the New Deal measures. Many Americans were doing OK but had not forgotten the crash and slump. This blend of optimism and skepticism spices up the mid-Thirties musicals. 'My Forgotten Man' is not a blanket protest about the Depression but a reminder about those left behind in the recovery. 'We're in the Money' is an ironic exaggeration warning audiences not to count chickens.
MGM was less keen on lacing entertainment with social comment than Warners, but the national mood of wary confidence seeped in symbolically. Here we have a struggling showman trying to milk a rich merry widow. The mock-smoochy dialogue leads into a song not about eternal amour but the risk of mutual deception and betrayal: a theme which persists in the movie until the 'reveal' of Benny's plot to make a dope out of Taylor. Likewise America flickered between hope and fear.
If only today's Hollywood grasped that preaching to the audience while asking it for money and short-changing it on talent and craft is no way to create art that lasts. Back then movies tried to read the national temper and articulate it through stories which allegorized it. Now too many film-makers can only shout slogans about how the public ought to feel and think.
Apart from being painfully handsome and suave, I realize that Robert Taylor was a really good but underrated actor. His expressions, especially with his eyes he engages fully with his partner and the situation, he is the one that closes the distance and makes them become compact.
Love the 1930s music, orchestras, dances, clothes, cars, songs!!!!
tommy nevils But remember: in real life, at the time this film was being made, Nazi had already began its persecution of Jews, gypsies and homosexuals in Europe and lynching and other atrocities were still being done to colored people in the U.S....
@@damianrhea8875 Yes, and those persecutions were horrible and unfair. About a year before my mother died, we were discussing the beautiful music from the 1930s and she began sobbing telling me the early 1930s was a dreadful time for her and my father who could not find steady employment. 1931 and 1932, they were on what was called "relief" no unions at Ford Plant, no unemployment, no nothing. If you were wealthy or had help from well-to-do relatives, you were fortunate indeed. My mother also told me the class distinction during that time was humiliating and unfair. I went through plenty of bullying, persecution, and humiliation growing up. I would never want to live through that again. BUT I still love the great songs and composers Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, George Gershwin and many others from the 1920s and 1930s. The great standards. They just don't write music like that anymore. As far as the beautiful clothes and snazzy cars, it's nice to dream.
@@damianrhea8875 Unfortunately I have to agree with you and you didn't even mention the depression.
pure class!
I wanted this fashion to come back, especially the hair styles
start by yourself, as I do! I'm consciously dressing up well and taking inspirations from great decades, I do it in a balanced and appropriate way and people appreciate, and get influenced by it!After I started wearing blazers over sweaters and shirts I have seen a change in the way people dress around me. Basically if we do it in a good and educated way we can bring back the good elements of clothing and style
I love that wonderful 'silver-light' that some of these old-time movies were glowing with...magical!
Yes true
That’s the silver nitrate right on the film that gives it a shimmering look.
Finally... the full thing ... a masterpiece....
YEAH!
Hmmm, pure bliss! Makes me whistle along to it and, sort of, dance along to it. Music that fills our hearts with joy!
Robert Taylor was impossibly handsome.
I'm glad that several people mentioned the wonderful Nick Long Jr. He danced in just two other movies that I know of, most notably "The King of Burlesque". I have also seen a couple of shorts here on RUclips in which he was featured, but they have since been removed. He should definitely be listed among the great dancers of Hollywood.
I agree with all the accolades here in the comments! What a beautiful, dreamy production of the late thirties.☺️😍🤗
The people of the 30's sure were good looking...pure elegance, poise, intelligence.
Take a page from your own book Warner Brothers, this is what true cinema is. Then again, we can never hope for this quality of entertainment and grace from today’s stock of people. Especially the “celebrities”
You hit the problem. The 1930's and 1940's was full of talented, beautiful people who made these movies what they were. Then again there were moviemakers running around who were so good at it, they became legendary. They set an impossible to equal standard for musicals. There simply aren't that many tap dancers, ballet dancers, 1930's style singers out there in 2021 as there were in 1936.
Actors hired back then were instructed in diction, dancing, etc. Not sure what, if any, instruction they're given today.
⚘
But this wasn’t Warner Bros. It was MGM.
One of the differences in how the movies were made then was their goal was to please the viewers so much that they would see the movies again and again and again. They took a lot more time to make movies back then on smaller budgets and stayed in a theater for very long periods compared to now. Some movies played for years and years at a theater. Now you can watch it at home two weeks after release so the goal is quantity of movies as fast as possible that are focused on retail sales of what the movie is pushing over a handful of absolutely amazing movies made a year that nearly a hundred years later still leave people mesmerized and thrilled and wanting to watch it again. You would think that someone in Hollywood could make that observation and take a stab at making movies like they use to. Movies now days are definitely not worth anyone hard earned money. I haven't wasted my money on disappointment at a theater since 2005.
True movie magic from a era which showcased wonderful dancing, beautiful people and costumes, happiness abounds, like a dream ☺
Yes true they don't call it hollywood Golden age for nothing
@@seanohare5488 Golden Age of Hollywood, so true
Glad Nick Long's solo is included.
June Knight certainly knew how to work that dress.
YES! Fabulous!
I don't understand why they are not credited in the video information.
Her hair. What in the world. That had to take time.
These clips are so enjoyable. All that hoofing is so amazing. A world long since departed.
Real life was so hard for most people that for a nickle they could go and be in another world of glamour and wealth, if only for 60 or 90 minutes.
I agree, it is a masterpiece. Show us the heart, class and feelings of an era. Perhaps I am wrong, but have the idea that the thirties were, possible, the most influential years for popular music for the rest of the XX century: I.Berlin, C.Porter, Kern, Richard Rodgers, Larry Hart, S.Cahn and many, but many others.
I've never seen this before. It makes you really appreciate the producers/composers/choreographers/directors/costumers/lightiing-set guys/performers who made this work.
Editing Magic!

A "goby" is a fish. I'd rather write it in two separate words joined by a hyphen, i. e., "go-by". On the contrary, "handout" should be written separately, since it is not a noun, but a verb, to be precise, a phrasal verb. "Stand out", however, functions here as a noun and thus, it should be written "standout" or "stand-out". Well, in my opinion.
Deco everywhere....most expressive style ever created.
This is so romantic and gorgeous. For me it’s a classic!
Yes true they don't call it hollywood Golden age for nothing
I am sure that was the only time Robert Taylor sang in a movie. Around 1936 people thought the depression was over but it made a roaring comeback. Sad time for many people but movies like this made you feel much better.
They make me feel better NOW!
@@carlfrano6384 that is very true
He sang in Her Cardboard Lover (1942), and another film during the 50's actually.
I really love that beautiful dress
I these old movies and the songs was fantastic 👏
Sensationally delightful and brilliant. Such a magic and beautiful time. That type of music and those songs were the penthouse. Nothing needed to develop after that. Things were perfect. A style of class and euphoria that should have lasted one hundred years and not a decade or two..
@z.h.a.t 💋
beautiful …classic dreamy world… he looks so dandy!
That is how a movie should be made, just wonderful!
I miss this special time
At 3:30 Nick Long does a series of barrel jumps. Yet another instance of Gene Kelly getting credit for what others had done on screen years earlier.
The costumes the way they looked was 😍

Talent. Talent. Talent.
Thanks for the thumbs up! I got to watch this amazing number again!
This was Robert Taylor's big chance as an MGM contract player, after appearing in several small films. He was still on less than $40 a week, whereas Eleanor Powell got thirty times as much from the getgo.
Bob filmed a romantic dance with June Knight as well as singing, but it was cut after previews. Production stills survive.
Wonderful. Total Class! Amazing acrobatic dancing.
FABULOUS editig and dancing.
Her dress is to die for 🥰🥰🥰
Love the special effects & dancing.What great talent.
Excellent song and performances throughout.
If you ever do anything in your life it should be to see this film
Where can I see it for free?
@@aba1791 Once in awhile TCM shows it.
@joelvanwambeke3736 Thanks. I don't have cable😫
Absolutely incredible! Movie making was an art form then. Bravo 👏!
Yes true they don't call it hollywood Golden age for nothing
This is phenomenal! I love how the dresses move and the set was so cool !
"Make it big, make it right, and give it class!"-Louis B. Mayer the M-G-M motto!
A fan of Vintage Jazz, Ive always liked this minor Standard. So thanks for posting. Not exactly Astaire and Rogers but lots of fun ! June Knight reminds me of Ann Sothern !
2:29 no idea how they achieved the effect with the stools popping up.
edit: slowed it down and can see it was simply a practical effect done on set. Love it.
Sensacional 🤗🤗🤗
Música muy elegante y con clase.
This must be one of the longest musical numbers every filmed, and yet it was all too short. I wanted it to go on forever. :)
BTW, I enjoyed reading the comments below; they all added to the luster of this number.
Choreographed by Dave Gould, who had made his name marshaling squadrons for 'The Carioca' and 'The Continental' in early Astaire-Rogers flicks. He had an eye for patterns like Berkeley and for precision like John Tiller, but he let the dancing flow more easily.
He said that in this number he tried to integrate tap steps with ballroom: both styles came easily to Long and Knight, who were seasoned pros. It shows how belatedly Powell was promoted in the production that the first big nunber, as lavish as any in BM36, does not involve her.
Fantastic !!!
Gawd! Imagine the editing production lock and synch to picture to pull off those "magical" objects! Way b4 digital editing.
Nick Long's wonderful dance
Enjoyed the movie from beginning to end ,good music and good plot, loved this number especially
I did some investigating and found out the woman singing with Robert Taylor is June Knight. I found her listed on Wikipedia
Great era of you had plenty of cash, New York.was vibrant city for art, shows, musicals in cinémas, great restaurants....
Que bello el vestido ..y la luz de la pelicula
GReatest rendering! BRAVO FOR this from Emmanuel from PARIS FRANCE
Wanted to add a note to praise the talents and personality of Nick Long Jr. Don't understand why he didn't become a fixture of the movie musical scene.
I think June Knight was overlooked in the comments---and probably her career--perhaps she did not click with the viewers---I don't understand why--I think she was special
Délicieux
Daría todo lo que tengo, por vivir en esa época!
EEUU estaba en bancarrota y pasando por una gran dificultad economica y financiera. No era como se ve en las pelis, habia mucha hambre !
Nice🧚♀️
Wow
I first heard this song in "Singing in the rain"
0
Same
Es hermoso
What a pity they no longer featured this song in the 2022 re-mark of Death on the Nile
Interesting seeing Robert Taylor light up. He was a chain smoker and died of lung cancer at age 57.
He smoked in many of his movies, sadly.
Lindo
It would only be fair to add June Knight's name to the description (she has been credited below, I now saw that). It is her we see in this wonderful number (and not the genial Eleanor Powell).
How about credit for June Knight, the other singer in the video and the songwriters, Nacio Herb Brown (music) and Arthur Freed (lyrics)?
If you looked at them for a moment at a distance, you'd think they were Astaire and Rogers.
Good lord what type of vertical does this guy have
❤️💚❤️💚
Taylor's got a pretty good voice.
And face !😍
This was in Blue Cat Blues btw...when the white cat was toying with Tom
Hanna and Barbera ran MGM's animation department, so naturally they favored songs to which the studio retained screen rights. The more so when, as here, the lyricist, Arthur Freed, had become Metro's biggest producer by the 1940s as H-B began the Tom and Jerry series.
No Fooling !!!
Dont take me bad, i love this musicals, but is inevitable avoid that the reality is that these musicals. Was for make people forget the terrible reality of the great depression. That these musicals, were for make the people feel less miserable. Like a wonderful world were the utopia of the 1920s continued with out interruption, with out the darkness of a future ww2 or the economic collapse. That sadly only exist on the screen and not in reality.
Who are these people? This movie was either casting or filming ninety years ago. I would like to know more about them.
ANY one know who the woman is singing to Robert Taylor and the male dancer who appears later?
June Knight and Nick Long Jr.
She looks like Taylor Swift on the thumbnail!
All effects done way before CGI editing. A non-CGI editing lock-up editing nightmare! :)
Myrtle Sousé-accent grave over the 'e'!
🌎 1930's America 🍸Nothing- absolutely nothing sold NYC to the World than a Skyscraper with Ebony and Ivory Sophisticates - Dinner & Cocktails and Top of the World American privilege🍸...No where in the world were skyscrapers even constructed.
A time, when men were gentlemen and women were so feminine.
I came here for the eyebrows.
It seems to look like that time was no difference from now.
People were no differences,
speaking ,acting like nowadays...?
I hope the choreographer was paid what he's worth.
That pop-up piano would not pass the health and safety regs these days
1936年にこんなすごい映画を作る国と、日本はこの数年後に戦争を始めたのか。無茶苦茶すぎる。
映画を見るだけで、国力の差を感じる。
でも逆にこういう映画を見て「アメリカ人は軟弱」と思ったのかもしれない。
冷静な判断というのは、いつの時代でも難しいものだ。
Gilroys ...🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ JMNWGN Astaire. Edens.
Robert Taylor was just 23 here
Jessee Riehl so young and yet so mature looking
Such a charming chap
Google Fan Exactly!
No, he was 25 yaers old
He is supposed already to be a rich and famous Broadway producer, five years out of high school in Albany. Meanwhile his sweetheart back then, played by Eleanor Powell, is still trying to get a break on the Great White Way.
Jessee, I think that's correct. Considering that it takes about a year to get a movie into theaters.
The movie could have started production in early 1935.
Who is that limber dancer?
do we have the technology now to make all black and white films into color?
Yes and no
1:40 What's going on here? Why does she wrinkle her nose at him?
"that hokus, pokus from your eyes"- that line was the cause.
Its because she was about to sing the next line, and he overrode her by playing a little solo on the piano just a second before she could get the line out
June Knight had personality in spades
