The Girl’s Got Rhythm

February 7, 2013 – 12:46 am

I’m swamped with work this week, so no time for writing. But as always, I’d hate for you to go away empty-handed — so here’s a fantastic dance scene by the one and only Eleanor Powell, accompanied by a young Buddy Rich.

    I could’ve done without the Cowardly Lion’s multiple orgasms, but otherwise, yes: the girl’s undeniably got rhythm! That was an amazing routine.

    Oh, no: the short, sexually spastic dude in the white beret is Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion. He was part of the cast of “Ship Ahoy,” along with Skelton.

    Thanks, Malcolm, that cheered up a cold, damp, doleful afternoon!

    Sorry, Kevin, my outburst wasn’t aimed at you. I’m just saying that’s Clem Kadiddlehopper in the clip.
