The Red Blues (dance excerpt) - Cyd Charisse - “Silk Stockings“ 1957

Another flawless orchestration by Conrad Salinger, this time of a Cole Porter song “The Red Blues“ from 1957’s “Silk Stockings“ (MGM). The fabulous Cyd Charisse gives us another show-stopping routine. And again, notice how her dress is made to flow perfectly with her movements. Those people knew what they were doing! This was the last pairing of Charisse with Fred Astaire, who later called her “beautiful dynamite.“ I don’t think anyone could disagree with that! Buy the Blu-ray here:
