Begin the Beguine - Broadway Melody of 1940

Eleanor Powell and Fred Astaire in Beguine the Beguine, the grand finale of Broadway Melody of 1940. Frank Sinatra in That’s Entertainment, 1974 - “ The last of the big black and white production numbers, starring Eleanor Powell and Fred Astaire, Cole Porter’s music, the sets and the camera work, the direction by Norman Taurog, the incredible tap dancing by these two, well it all seemed to come together in Broadway Melody of 1940. You know, you can wait around and hope, but I’ll tell you - you’ll never see the likes of this again.“
