Betty once said that there was only two reasons she was in movies and she was standing on both of them !
She certainly was gorgeous
Everbody loved Grable -- men and women alike!
Those were the days when a "Star" really was a "STAR" and none of them shone brighter than Betty Grable.
Way before my time. But I absolutely love Betty Grable
Maravilloso la gran época de la comedia musical❤😂🎉
Betty was the original blonde bombshell.
How i admire her!! she has such class
Betty meets Jack Cole! Perfection!
I believe this was Grables last film for 20th. What a way to go out! Jack Cole/Gwen Verdon HELLO..............
@@charlesrussell5458 Betty Grable's last film for 20th was 1955's How to be very, very popular with Sheree North and it was lousy. This was the film Marilyn refused to make and walked out on Fox and went to New York to study at the actor's studio.
she was beautiful
Betty Grable Got Better Reviews Than Marilyn It's Been Said That Miss Grable Said I've Had Mine Mow It's Your Turn Also Grable Was #1 At The Box Office 3 Times & In Top 10 Money Making Stars 10 Years Straight Which No Other Star Can Say
Good Dancer
If I ever win a 160 million pounds on the euro lottery, I will open new clubs in major cities all over the world and re-create scenes like these with the best drag queens known to man ;-)
Only 1 Condos here: Steve Condos, on the right. His matching male on our left of BG is credited as Jerry Brandow (aka Dick Brandon in other efforts). www.imdb.com/title/tt0043795/
What happened to the Rochester vaudeville number from Mother Wore Tights?
btw, does anyone know where I can find this movie?
Oh boy, the older I get the more I like these light-heartedly witty little numbers. I'll take ten minutes of this over two hours of Sondheim any day. But I guess this clip will soon be deleted after complaints from the #MeToo mob that it trivialises sexual harassment.
The intelligentsia that drooled over Marilyn Monroe (because of her self-dramatising, neurotic unprofessionalism and childish character) despised smart, hard-working Betty. I know which I prefer.
They must have ransacked homes for retired vaudevillians to assemble that chorus of stage door Johnnies!
the world has also seemed to have forgotten the Condos brothers, as righteous representatives of the uniquely American art of Tap - the unlikely step child of black dance and Celtic dance.
It's according to which end of history you're looking at!
I worked for the choreographer who made grable and Monroe,,,,,jack Cole...Monroe was a better people...grable did not want to work too hard...they were both marvellous. Made by Cole choreography...
Cole's jazzy inclinations can be seen in those disembodied hands and the rather jerky feel of the piece. Fosse followed him. You can see Cole's influence in 'From This Moment On' a couple of years later with Fosse and Carol Haney, whom Cole had trained at Columbia.
He was able to coax quite fair performances out of amateurs such as Monroe and Jane Russell, and lazy stars such as Grable.
Whoever designed the opening of that number must have been watching 'King Kong'.
@@esmeephillips5888 and Cole was trained at Denishawn, where dancers learned the "decomposition" of hands, and the symbolism of a wide range of movements, including velocities and directions in space, expansions, contractions, and so on. Denishawn dancers went on to create shier own unique styles from the broad vocabulary learned there.
@vizdi14 I also think Betty was a better actress than marilyn. But that's just my opinion. I'm just not fond of marilyn's comedy movies. But she improved went she made the transition from comedy to drama. I absolutely adore her dramatic movies. Marilyn was sexy and cute and had that childlike aspect to her which people loved and adored. But it's that same cuteness and childish-ness that doesn't translate well on screen for me with marilyn.
In our age of concern over pedophilia, Monroe's 'ickle-gurly' obtusity looks positively sick. And she did not improve when she started pretending to be an egghead.
She represents the 'Feminine Mystique' period of reaction against the rise of women in society following the Great War. Instead of potent, independent figures such as Davis, Crawford, Stanwyck, Rogers, Colbert... we got this simpering, lisping dumb blonde, a high-rent equivalent of Mamie van Doren, Anita Ekberg or Jayne Mansfield.
Most overrated star of her time. Kim Novak had more going for her.
