Hey, people, be sure to notice the comments by Ian Catchpole and the others below that this is Ginger Rogers dancing with Judith's lovely face whimsically superimposed using clever but old technology. I love Judith Durham very very much and have watched her actual videos hundreds of times. This video is just for fun -- reimagining the beautiful gift from God we know as Judith Durham in a mythical dance with the incredible Fred Astaire.
The lovely Judith Durham was such a stunningly beautiful woman and (as well as being one of the best singers ever) a really great mover, too. Was there no end to this amazing woman's talents?
This is not beyond the realm of possibility. Judith has a natural drive to succeed and strive for perfection regardless of the endeavour. Had she been so inclined, chances are she would have thrilled us with dance. Of course, it's the remarkable talent that drew me to her, but it's the warm beautiful person inside that captured my heart forever. Judith will always be special even when the physical beauty and talent have become diminished, that sweet smile and engaging warmth will remain. jtk🍁
This is Fantastic! Who would think that this young woman, who was primarily a singer, could keep up and do such a good job with the World's Finest dancer! Thank you, thank you for making this available.
The original dancer was Ginger Rogers whose head has, by the magic of modern science, been transformed into Judith Durhams'. Judith was not even a twinkle in her fathers' eye when Ginger danced this with Fred Astaire in 1935. Sadly, Ginger and Fred did not get along off stage. You wouldn't think so judging the way they dance together. Ginger was drop dead gorgeous in her day. She died in 1995, a much loved shriveled up old lady in a wheelchair.
GREAT! They were a match,elegant and charming and that some guy dancer,actor, world class dancer and a great humanitarian gave the great Judith Durmam the final touch.
....THE WONDER.....GREAT....FED ASTAIRE......NO ONE LIKE HIM.....ANY ONE THAT DANCES WITH HIM, CAN NOT EVEN DO IT LIKE HIM.......HE´S ELEGANT, EXCELENT, BRILLIANT.....WONDERFUL.......
Now if you can only magically bring Judith to sing in my home town of Sacramento, California... and by the way could you give Ginger Judith's voice in a few of the Astaire Rogers films now?
Surprised that Fred was able to keep his mind on what he was doin' holding our very own delightful Judith Durham in his paws! I am sure that some smoke must have been getting into his eyes...with his heart on fire and all!!!
It's astonishing what can be done! BTW, I love your other posts - the Banjos and Voices of Spring are ace. And of course the Ten Thousand Years Ago with the Olde Worlde English and how the songs would have been in 1792. Absolutely brilliant. If I had a hat I'd take it off to you. Which version of Abrosoft FantaMorph do you use? Have you sent these to Judith? If not, you really should! (Her 'Whistling Rufus' performance gives me the distinct impression that she'd appreciate your efforts.)
Not sure what happened to him, but I think he narrated an animated version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." I saw it as a kid, 50 years ago. I guess it was his 15 minutes of fame. :)
For the record, I LOVE Judith's dancing. The nitwits at Q are a bunch of self appointed elitists... Oh BTW, this is another delicious bit of nuttiness from makeitreel. Bravo!
It is a fake, the actual description states it's a "virtual" spin on the dance floor, but it was very cleverly done and quite entertaining. Both are legends in their own right.
I think the jury's still out on whether Judith Durham could dance or not since it's only her head pasted here, but Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire certainly could. :-)
Nice photo shop. JD wasn't born when Fre&Ginger did this in 1935. Clever though. Fooled some boomers i see. Get some dvds and catch up on your pre Beatles American pop culture. Ha Ha.
J. Bruce Fox Accept it's not Judith dancing--it is Ginger Rogers dancing; someone has manipulated the image to make it look like Judith is dancing. But she isn't, it is still Ginger Rogers.
It gets pretty obvious after a while and especially with the dips and such. Looks like her neck is twice as long as it should be and things just don't fit right. Still a pretty good job and interesting.

Why has this gotten only 179k views? It should be in the millions! So graceful and oh so lovely.

Amazing!! The greatest dancer of all time with Judith. So memorable.
The original dancer was Ginger Rogers whose head has, by the magic of modern science, been transformed into Judith Durhams'.

Simply divine. Just as good as Ginger & Fred! This really fooled me lol. That looks exactly like Judith albeit with Ginger's figure.
What cannot Judith Durham do: she plays a mean piano, she sings like an angel and she dances well with Fred!
What a description...
I wish your comment was completely accurate, but it’s not Judith here. Read the comments.
SIr, that is simply superb! Must have taken a lot of effort so applause all round is deserved!
All I can say is WOW. That girl was pure talent.
some guy? Thats Fred Astaire. Judith is one of my all time favorite singers. She is beautiful and dances beautifully as well. Wonderful to see this.
NebukedNezzer I don't know whether to take you serious?
GREAT! They were a match,elegant and charming and that some guy dancer,actor, world class dancer and a great humanitarian gave the great Judith Durmam the final touch.
Genius! Mate, you're a bloody genius!!! Loved every second of it!
Was it Gingers, or what great female dancers with Fred head they replaced Judith's with?? Fantastic.
Please read the above comments... But yes, it was Ginger 😊
She is amazing!
....THE WONDER.....GREAT....FED ASTAIRE......NO ONE LIKE HIM.....ANY ONE THAT DANCES WITH HIM, CAN NOT EVEN DO IT LIKE HIM.......HE´S ELEGANT, EXCELENT, BRILLIANT.....WONDERFUL.......
Excellent, Judith's dancing, with an excellent partner! BRAVIIIIII !!!.....
How fickin awesome is this footage 😍
Love that "Some guy." :P
Judith,
If you ever read this comment...that was magnificant!
There is no mistaking the one & only Fred Astaire. He worked hours and hours to make it look easy. He was truly a perfectionist, and it shows !
her head attached to a dancer, cleverly done. You can see flaws when they move.
This is "SOME" trick as the footage is from the 40s, Judith wasn't around until the 60's. Very good job at imposing her face on the co-dancer though.
Really? I was wondering how this happened as Fred looked young
Fred Astaire with Ginger Rodgers... 1935 😉🥰
that "some guy", is none other then Fred Astaire.. a world renowned dancer...
Roger Beauregard
Chuckles...
One of the best
Judith image superimposed upon the original dancer Ginger Rogers - from the musical Roberta!
Very impressive indeed! What is/are the name of the morphing and video editing software that you used? Thanks.
Now if you can only magically bring Judith to sing in my home town of Sacramento, California... and by the way could you give Ginger Judith's voice in a few of the Astaire Rogers films now?
Awesome!!
I don't know whether to be amazed or horrified. LOL. That's...really something.
I am totally speechless... all I can say or think is WTF LOL
WTG Judith!
What the.... this is amazing work!
There is nothing Judith can't do to perfection.
Could you tell me please what is the name of that movie?
Surprised that Fred was able to keep his mind on what he was doin' holding our very own delightful Judith Durham in his paws! I am sure that some smoke must have been getting into his eyes...with his heart on fire and all!!!
I want my two minutes back.
Thanks! Seriously, how long did this take you?
Judith: the most talented, classy, and beautiful woman in history.
True, although it isn’t her in the video. Read the comments.
I wish I was Fred right there!
This should prove Q magazine wrong when they wrote that Judith dances like a baby elephant.:)
WOW amazing what we can do with computers, That would have been totally bought into probably until the first Star Wars came out.
Ha! ha! That's Ginger Rogers with Judith Durham's head video-edited on.
Notice how "Judith's" hair length varies during the performance.
@capratube of course it's not her. roberta is an american film from 1935. judith durham was born in australia in 1942
1943
@@krechenklein4453 1942
I could watch Freddie Stair all night
It's astonishing what can be done!

Fantastic
How did day do this?
I don't know why this was done but I love the people and the song!
very cool.
very clever. at first view I was trying to figure out ages
Of course it is- none other but the master.
now put her with Bill Robinson...and she'll probably dance the stairs with him like they were so many stars!
awesome
I wonder if that guy ever had a career? He danced rather well!
I doubt it.. This is what was said at his screen test (allegedly) "Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little".
@@Gynra I remember reading that somewhere before. I'm still laughing hysterically over it!
Not sure what happened to him, but I think he narrated an animated version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." I saw it as a kid, 50 years ago. I guess it was his 15 minutes of fame. :)
Fred had an amazing career.....
So fun!
that 'some guy' is Fred Astaire lol .. this is sooo cool!
For the record, I LOVE Judith's dancing. The nitwits at Q are a bunch of self appointed elitists... Oh BTW, this is another delicious bit of nuttiness from makeitreel. Bravo!
That was cute!
Isso sim é dançar e essa música é linda demais.
perfect montage....
;-)
....
but really, Judith ist die Traumfrau schlechthin, we tell in Germany...
...
Nice as it says virtual something to laugh at he danced back in 1940s but fun to watch
Nice.
that guy was the Best in the world the One And Only Fred Astaire
What do you mean some guy? It was Fred Astarie.
well, she can't go back in time...i take that back!
It is a fake, the actual description states it's a "virtual" spin on the dance floor, but it was very cleverly done and quite entertaining. Both are legends in their own right.
Some guy? Perhaps that's Athol Guy.
This a treasure. Fred I hate you, so suave, you got all the babes.
Nice montage. Judith wasn't born at the time this film was aired, Fred Astaire was a great dancer, not question about that.
photo shop very clever
Judith can dance with the best ... in high heels and backwards. (spoof me again)
I had no idea that "Smoke gets in you eyes" was that old?
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" was written for "Roberta" on Broadway (c.1933) by Jerome Kerne & co. The Platters hit was in 1959.
the beautiful..georgie girl..
Funny that little Judith grew a bunch for this dance with the deceased Fred Astaire.
I wonder how they did that..
Why?
This makes me wonder if Astaire and Durham ever even met. Astaire was about 67 years old when The Seekers recorded "Georgy Girl."
1:26 Her head almost fell off! :0
Well, haven't we all lost our heads over someone at least once?
True, but she did a remarkable job hiding it. Lesser performers would simply let being decapitated ruin a take, but not Ms. Durham. What a pro! 😁
You fooled me, I retract my rating.
I think the jury's still out on whether Judith Durham could dance or not since it's only her head pasted here, but Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire certainly could. :-)
at the present, this film would be a digital work...
I like judith durham very much but this video is a fake.
@siany37 i just noticed that to, almost a good job but she wasn't even born back then.
Nice photo shop. JD wasn't born when Fre&Ginger did this in 1935. Clever though. Fooled some boomers i see. Get some dvds and catch up on your pre Beatles American pop culture. Ha Ha.
... lamentablemente fué Ginger Rogers quien bailó en esta película del año 1935 ...
You want to believe Judith can do anything well!
J. Bruce Fox Accept it's not Judith dancing--it is Ginger Rogers dancing; someone has manipulated the image to make it look like Judith is dancing. But she isn't, it is still Ginger Rogers.
Steven Torrey I know it was Ginger, film simply allows you to to beleive it was Judith . You can fantisize. Peace, Ginger anf Fred were great.
Simply Gorgeous! He is not just some guy! He is one in a 100 billion. She could have 2 left feet and he will bring out the very best anyway. Fact!
Roland Thewes ! 2041
@CanadaguyRudey i think it was said tongue in cheek lol
That's Judith Durham's face on Ginger Rogers! And it's creepy, too!
Judith.
I'm guessing it is actually Ginger Rodgers body with Judith's head??
It gets pretty obvious after a while and especially with the dips and such. Looks like her neck is twice as long as it should be and things just don't fit right. Still a pretty good job and interesting.
That "some guy", is Fred Astaire.
This is an amazing example of technology but I would rather have heard her singing.
and me as well. She can sing far better than he can dance . . .
A graceful dancen?
Does Judith sports hair that long?
How I wish, none-the-less she's a Godess...though I adore Olivia too!
Where's ginger.
Ummm, who is that girl dancing with Fred Astaire? Sure looks like Judith, but she's a little too young for this.
I think she going make the resurrection its all about doing that well and she has just need to forgive one person ....
