Ginger was 49 here and, apparently taking very good care of herself as she is clearly in great shape. It was fun seeing her do more modern stuff after her years of basically ballroom dancing in her movies with Fred Astaire.
That was all quite enjoyable. I realized the dance number with the balls was inspired by the Harlem Globetrotters, since “Sweet Georgia Brown” was their theme song. The part with Ginger and one dancer silhouetted against the background of small lights was striking. Television technology had progressed by then to allow such effects.
I thought the writers came up with some pretty clever stuff: IMDb credits: Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall, Episode #13.6. Writers: John Aylesworth and Frank Peppiatt. The Hugh Lambert Dancers. Filmed in NYC.
I have yet to see a dance number of hers without Fred that isn't painful to watch. No wonder she was so defensive and angry (at times) when asked about their partnership...
"Bachelor Mother" has a greater lift than any she ever did with Astaire; "In Person" has a dance that is equal to any of the fast dances with Astaire; "Roxie Hart" has a performance on the stairs equal to any she did with Astaire. Rogers was defensive because she was a bigger box office star without Astaire than she was with him.
Never understood why her career stopped until I saw this clip. Short legs and the fashion changed after the war. She always wore long gowns with Fred. Could never compete with Cyd Charisse or Rita Hayworth .
Lol 😂 your totally missed the point , Ginger was not a dancer never had the training of a dancer as opposed to those you mentioned, as a famous reporter put it she was an actress who was dancing pretty amazing hue ! She was not a professional dancer at all !and that’s why all over the world it still Fred and Ginger even known by young generations while the others are sadly totally forgotten and btw Anne Miller said once Ginger was the perfect partner for Fred, and on top of that her career stopped not because of dancing the last dancing movie she made was the Barclays of Broadway in 1949 which was a huge success , she stopped because now that she was getting older they were offering her roles of women who were aging badly and other negative roles of older women, i live and work in Hollywood and they don’t like women getting older in this business but since she was a women proud of her gender she kept refusing and the male producers of hypocritical Hollywood didn’t like that ! But she continued her career on stage and btw Rita and Cyd didn’t make dancing movies as they we’re getting older either so your comment really shows ignorance
@@felixsebaoun8266 She was a professional dancer until she wasn't? Ginger trained as a dancer with Eddie Cantor, danced for a living for years in Vaudeville, had the triple threat starring role in the Gershwin musical "Girl Crazy" (which was a bigger hit than all but two of Astaire's Broadway shows) and was requested by Fred for their films because she was one of the greatest dancers in America. Rita was a fine dancer but Cyd isn't in Ginger's class. Cyd didn't have a big range... had a great dancing vamp persona, but not much else. Ginger is the greatest talent to emerge from the Golden Age of Hollywood - able to do ANYthing.
I am glad you liked it. I enjoy Ginger's television appearances because I can see more of her personality.
IMPERDÍVEL e SIMPLESMENTE GENIAL.... . Adoro-te Perry Como, com a companhia da Lindíssima Ginger..... Obrigada e Sempre em Meu Coração....
Ginger Rogers was 49 years old when she appeared in this TV show. Amazing.

What a figure for a 49-year old!

This was all very cute :) I'd never seen Mr. C's show but I bet having Ginger Rogers on made it even better!
Ginger spiced up everything in which she appeared!
I keep saying it but wow! Ginger aged wonderfully and looked superb during the 1960s and 70s in particular.
Uh, she's only 49 here.
@@dannybex Yes but compare her to say Bette Davis around this time - only 4 years older than Ginger.
Remember Perry Como was a barber I would have hug Ginger Rogers!!!

She did win an Oscar in 1940. She blended a career as a dramatic actress with that as a musical star as well as anyone.
