At the end when Vera Ellen trips on Danny Kayes left foot when he is kneeling it priceless, as she recovers so perfectly you don't notice it unless you have seen this movie 100 times like I have.
In addition to the dancing and costuming, I love the close harmony chorus that comes in from nowhere as they continue to dance. We don’t really remember Danny Kaye as a dancer, more as a comic actor, but he’s up there with the best, elevated here, it course, by Vera-Ellen’s superlative dancing in her perfect pink dress.
I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t actually get the joke. I’ve always laughed when watching with loved ones because everyone else did, but I’m not sure what she’s referring to. Would anyone enlighten me?
WHITE CHRISTMAS is my favourite film of all time. And this scene with Danny Kaye and Vera Allen is my favourite dance scene ever. The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing is perfection 💖💖💖
For someone who is not the "traditional" dancer, I think that Danny Kaye did a great job in this number, but Vera Ellen is so bloody good she could make a three legged stool look like the next Ballroom Champion. she is never less than sensational.
wonderful scene, if you look closely near the end she trips over dannys foot while hes kneeling, 99.9% of people never noticed this so they left it in the shot.
You have to admit the Star power in this film is in the stratosphere. Danny Kaye and Vera Allen are exceptional. The music in this movie is very catchy and melodic as well. However the “Sisters” number got old very quickly.
Очень красивое ,по- настоящему праздничное действо. Замечательные, талантливейшие артисты, работают без сучка и задоринки . Музыка, костюмы, вся атрибутика просто чудо!!!❤
This is a fabulous dance routine! I’m watching this on youtube 12/ 2022. It’s magical and elegant. Danny Kaye is gentle, the perfect lead,a gifted comedian, and all around great talent! Vera-Ellen, I’ll have to google her. She is so graceful, I keep studying her moves. Love the layers of chiffon and moment of the dress and Danny’s super snazzy grey shoes and socks. Who did the choreography for this number? The stars combine so many fantastic dance moves. Love the scenery, using the pole and hand glider for props. Brilliant!! Thank you for posting!! 🌹
Какое великолепие ,шикарная постановка. Какие были замечательные времена за платья и костюмы это вообще отдельная история,просто космос сверх-элегантность👍👍👍
Vera Ellen at this time had what would become a serious eating disorder. She was so thin that the costume department had to redesign all her costumes to cover her neck and arms. Watch the film and she's covered almost all the time - except for her legs. She was wonderful, but this was a problem. I love the way Danny Kaye is keeping up with her here! He wasn't really a dancer but he could move!!
Vera Ellen being anorexic has never been proven, and there are multiple sources out there that show her neck within a year before and a year after White Christmas came out in 1954, showing her neck to be perfectly fine, and not having been rapidly aged by anorexia. A close friend of Vera Ellen, Bill Dennington, who knew her for 20 years stated that he had seen her neck many times and it was lovely, and that most of her life she had worn something around her neck, it was her “trademark”. He had also stated that her neck was similar to that of Audrey Hepburns, he had even taken photos of Vera in the 60s and 70s and those also showed her neck being in a fine shape. A person with the level of anorexia that people believed Vera had would have quite low energy and would not be able to perform to the level that she did, she was a dancer and always was a dancer even up until her death at 61, she was also an avid swimmer. She even taught her niece, Ileana, how to swim. This niece also stated that she had no such disorder, and had always maintained her slim figure through being active with dance and swim.
We artist dancers really get involved with staying light and lith. Actually its very healthy to fast. But this is so lovely of them together and Danny is really on que. Beautifully. They look good together. Seems like Costuming did a terrific job.
According to "Gone With The Wind", Scarlett O'Hara had a seventeen-inch waist. Vera-Ellen just possibly may have had her beat. Not to mention: LEGS! LEGS! LEGS!
@@maryricketts7337 Utter falsehood!! She had danced all her life --- that is why she was slim. NO ONE with an eating disorder could have rehearsed the 4 routines for that movie hours on end. The costume design as to show case her face and her legs (even the swirling skirts draw attention) THis has been thoroughly rebutted bu photos of her before and after WC and by her longtime friends and relations
Vera Ellen was a superb dancer, she can match Danny Kaye step for step, only she is doing it in heels ! The female dancers of that time never seem to get the recognition they deserved, apart from Ginger Rogers, that is.
They compare the new movies to the old because it they did`nt, and they let the public make their own mind up, without being brainwashed, no one would ever go to see the rubbish that they call musicals today
Hu!! There is always "someone who knows someone" who heard it from a friend, and even though he has never produced ANY evidence of his claim, he goes ahead and spreads the MISinformation.

It’s not Christmas without this movie.
ain't that the truth!!
Real. It’s become a family tradition to put this on while decorating the Yuletree

Danny Kaye was so dreamy and a true renaissance man. They don’t make them like him anymore.
They do. Ukrainian ballroom guys. They’re all unfortunately being shot at by putler
Sweet men, great dancers
He made Bing Crosby look like Tommy Wiseau in this movie.
My absolute favorite dance sequence in the movie!!! Kaye was so good at anything he did!
Thank GOD for an HD version of this! Stunning Technicolor and sound.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is from a Technicolor print, though I would LOVE to see that.
His voice is so cute when it cracks, but then he starts singing so smoothly lol 😅💖✨
He’s not singing
I love how Danny Kaye’s voice cracks in the beginning ❤️ This dance scene is so perfect and I especially love the tap dancing part.
In addition to the dancing and costuming, I love the close harmony chorus that comes in from nowhere as they continue to dance. We don’t really remember Danny Kaye as a dancer, more as a comic actor, but he’s up there with the best, elevated here, it course, by Vera-Ellen’s superlative dancing in her perfect pink dress.
I will be able to see this on the big screen on Sunday!
My husband and I learned parts of this dance.
It’s wonderful on the big screen. Have a great time.
"What's this, the best two outta three?"
Hahaha! A true fan right here. 🤣
I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t actually get the joke. I’ve always laughed when watching with loved ones because everyone else did, but I’m not sure what she’s referring to. Would anyone enlighten me?
@@bfunk51404My guess is that they were trying to out-dance each other until Betty found them and called them out.
@@bfunk51404lol u gotta watch it😂
I didn’t understand the joke as a kid, but I still laughed like nuts, because the delivery is ON POINT.
Does everyone else get butterflies watching this❤❤❤❤ ps you watched this to many times
WHITE CHRISTMAS is my favourite film of all time. And this scene with Danny Kaye and Vera Allen is my favourite dance scene ever. The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing is perfection 💖💖💖
It`s Vera ELLEN, not Allen.
Probably my favorite 4 minutes in film. Absolute perfection!!
Christmas isn't Christmas without this movie. I've loved it since I was younger.
I never get tired of this.
When you are tired of watching the beautiful Vera Ellen it`s a sign that you are tired of life.
Her dancing is amazing! Still the best I’ve ever seen.
Love Danny's grey suede shoes! ❤
And Vera Allen dancing in high heels!! OOOfff!
A beautiful couple dancing to a wonderful tune......and YOU like his shoes???
@@rachelwickart275 It`s Vera ELLEN, not Allan
@@terrywright7470 Yep, born Vera-Ellen Rohe, per the Wikipedia article.
For someone who is not the "traditional" dancer, I think that Danny Kaye did a great job in this number, but Vera Ellen is so bloody good she could make a three legged stool look like the next Ballroom Champion. she is never less than sensational.
This scene made me fall in love with ballroom dancing 💃. When I was a little girl I wanted to live inside this movie, and in some ways I still do 🥹
The way her dress moves is beautiful
Superbly done! Beautiful clothes, truly sublime song, lovely romance and tasteful, perfectly executed and exquisite dancing!
I never grow tired of this film
I just rewatched it for the thousandth time last night and I still love it. ❤
wonderful scene, if you look closely near the end she trips over dannys foot while hes kneeling, 99.9% of people never noticed this so they left it in the shot.
This is one of the best dance scenes from a movie!!!!💃
Kinda cute when Vera-Ellen slips at 3:01 and you see her little expression to Danny haha
and his little eyebrow raise in response! so cute
Good job that Vera was`nt dancing with me, she would have tripped over every 20 seconds with the way that I dance
I've never noticed that before - but, after reading your comment, I watched for it - and it is kinda cute hehe❤
Danny and Vera's footwork during this amazing scene is one the highlights of White Christmas. ❤
The song is so easy to remember, and it flows, like melted butter, so well.😀
You have to admit the Star power in this film is in the stratosphere. Danny Kaye and Vera Allen are exceptional. The music in this movie is very catchy and melodic as well. However the “Sisters” number got old very quickly.
Очень красивое ,по- настоящему праздничное действо. Замечательные, талантливейшие артисты, работают без сучка и задоринки . Музыка, костюмы, вся атрибутика просто чудо!!!❤
The dancing is impressive, the music is beautiful, but I just can't stop myself from staring at her dress the whole time lol

This dance - 😀says it all.
Какое великолепие ,шикарная постановка.
Какие были замечательные времена за платья и костюмы это вообще отдельная история,просто космос сверх-элегантность👍👍👍
Just magic and so glamour 👌
Wow this clip is crisp crisp 👌👏🙌
Remarkably elegant and so refined!
This movie is truly a classic,!

I kept wondering why her legs were so thin despite all the work she's doing. That's heartbreaking.
We artist dancers really get involved with staying light and lith. Actually its very healthy to fast.
But this is so lovely of them together and Danny is really on que. Beautifully.
They look good together.
Seems like Costuming did a terrific job.
Yeah, her bending her body in half many, many times in this movie bugged me. I guess it was the style at the time.
I can see it
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie I watch every year at Christmas 🎄 1 of the best things about Christmas, timeless classic 😊
Love this movie so very much
According to "Gone With The Wind", Scarlett O'Hara had a seventeen-inch waist. Vera-Ellen just possibly may have had her beat. Not to mention: LEGS! LEGS! LEGS!
Yep, she sure had legs. You don't get to be one of the youngest Rockettes in history without it.
Vera Ellen was anorexic
@@maryricketts7337 Yes, we know that, and it's a shame.
@@maryricketts7337 Could you please explain to me what anorexia had to do with her appearance?

Love this so much!
Omg such skilled & beautiful dancers 🤩
My favorite always!
Love this Movie
ze moeten de film uit zenden op tv
A Christmas favorite at the McClary's
Vera Ellen was a superb dancer, she can match Danny Kaye step for step, only she is doing it in heels ! The female dancers of that time never seem to get the recognition they deserved, apart from Ginger Rogers, that is.
Vera ellen kind of reminds me of Michelle williams
And younger folks are comparing LaLa Land to this.
How can it be? Although I have to say that Ryan’s performance was as close to golden era dancing swaveness that I’ve seen in a long time.
Lala Land sucked!😂👎
They compare the new movies to the old because it they did`nt, and they let the public make their own mind up, without being brainwashed, no one would ever go to see the rubbish that they call musicals today
懐かしい。
Paramount Movie Since 1912
Mery Christmas Song 40s / 50s
El Salvador En C,a .
Fun.🥰😍😇
they dont make good movies like them old ones no more
My husband used to say she’s so thin she must just eat lettuce
I know all the songs
Fun fact Vera Ellen her singing parts were done by another woman dubbed over
Hu!! There is always "someone who knows someone" who heard it from a friend, and even though he has never produced ANY evidence of his claim, he goes ahead and spreads the MISinformation.

Best movie ever!
Best Christmas movie for sure.
