Movie Reviews of That's Dancing!
Movie Review: With many full-length performances! Very entertaining!
Summary: 5 Stars
How enjoyable 1985 That's Dancing is! And the special treat is that you get to see the complete dance performances. You will see the beginning era of dance and several entertainers who comment, Gene Kelly, Baryshnikov, Ray Bolger, Liza Minelli and Sammy Davis Jr.
Genres of Dance
You will see some entertaining black and white performances from the earliest choreographer, Busby Berkeley, and those beautiful, jovial dance numbers in Technicolor. Included are some wonderful tap dancing performances from the legends of the dance, especially a Nicholas Brothers tapdance; it is exuberant. Considered one of the best, a tap dance with Donald O'Connor and Gene Kelly. Plenty of time is given to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers from "Gay Divorcee" and "Swingtime", plus Astaire's various partners. What is new to audiences is a scene that was cut from "The Wizard of Oz", a charming dance number with Ray Bolger. Too bad that was cut because it was so refreshing.
Baryshnikov comments on early ballet clips, and archive footage of Nureyev. From the colorful "Red Shoes" is Isadora Duncan. And not to forget the dance from Broadway which includes James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandee" and more.
The latter part of dancing features that amazing dance from Flashdance, where the actual dancer, Marine Jahan, danced for Jennifer Beals. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and John Travolta's "Saturday Night Fever" clips.
Special features - Yes...John Travolta was included as ONE of the GREATEST!???? Huh??
This extra includes info on selection process to include such astonishing performances, and how this search was conducted. There was a grand photo of the remaining dance greats that took place, and yes, don't ask me how, but John Travolta was included among the greatest dancers in entertainment. He was so honored, I think he was just wondering how he was ever to be included anyhow!
Enjoyable!!....Rizzo
