I truly do not understand why we can't have this kind of TV show today. We have so many great performers still working. They could tell their stories, sing and dance. It doesn't have to look like the old times.
Because culture is dominated by Marxism (please see the meaning of Cultural Marxism), their goal is always to lower the standards: grades, culture/knowledge, education/manners, speech, ethics, values, etc. Marxists don't want the person's improvement but the contrary, so they can rule.

Why read a newspaper when you can get the news in a quick flash? Why read at all? Why listen when you are self-absorbed and already have 650 friends at facebook?

@@carloshugogeib7961 lol, Okay, just checking. Not long ago, I told someone I would be HEARTbroken when Jimmy Stewart passed away. Then I looked it up and found out he died like...twenty something years ago. LOL oof!
Shame they never made a musical together! Many years ago my father was watching The Sound of Music’ and during ‘The Hills are Alive’ he said,” She’s got a voice like a bell.” He didn’t give compliments out easily!
She was the Doris Day of my generation. Her singing was so sweet, her diction so good, her manners so civil, and her beauty great. Which girl in the 60s and 70s did not want to be like Julie Andrews? I love her so much!
I was a child when she made The Sound of music and.my dream.was to.sing with her and be one of the Von Trapp children in the movie Of course this dream didnt happen. But two of my Dreams about Julie came true to see her in.person and to have seen.the places in Salzbourg where the film was made.

Julie Andrews is a living showbiz legend, she has worked with so many wonderful people from the past, she even lent her voice in recent animated films, What a full career. BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ive never seen this before, Julie Andrews and Gene Kelly truly talented performers, this is what my mom told me heaven was like, all the old movie stars singing and dancing ………the good old days.
When true talent and goodness were the staples of the entertainment world, I was growing up. I am grateful these beautiful video clips are here to remind me of those happy days. 🎶
A few years ago I had a very mild stroke. Although it put my in the hospital, the Barrow Neurological Institute to be specific, during my recovery I would tease my treatment staff by asking them if I would ever be able to tap dance again. They would react quizzically and say "Well...". I would quickly relieve their consternation and smile and say "Well I wasn't able to tap dance before."😀
That reminds of my Grandad after he had his knee replaced. He complained to the surgeon he wasn't able to move it from side to side. The surgeon told no one was able to do that!
"Ms. Andrews is truly beautiful... an angel and a gift. And Mr. Kelly, he's a strapp'n tapp'n compliment... and gentleman extraordinaire. Both a joy - I am grateful - for having shared their amazing zeal and appeal."
My gran knew Julie's parents when Julie sang with them when she was a child. They used to perform at the Kings Theatre in Southsea, Portsmouth, UK where I come from.
With all the credentials she possesses - breathtaking beautiful face to behold, angelic voice, humility, generosity, extra ordinary talent in singing, acting, dancing, kindness, pure, class and elegance, great mother, great wife, great human being to others and the cut-glass accent of her British-ness is very pleasant to listen to - she is a complete package! She is indeed one of the greatest human-being ever stepped in the history of our humanity and probably the last of the great broads. There will be no one ever who will take after her footstep. Do you know one? Tell me who? It’s like half of the 20th century was her domination. Even up to the first 1st part of the 21st century she was still active. She has set the bar with that very high and class standard that no one can ever dare to challenge, the scale quite hard for us to follow. She is the best. Dame Julie Andrews was born for Mary Poppins and SOM, no one else. They're destined for her. She is full of life.
Whenever I watch tap dancing, I find myself with the most ridiculous grin on my face the whole time. It's just so wonderful to watch someone tap around a stage.
Watching both Gene Kelly & Julie is so fun to see, Blake was a close friend with Gene. Thank you Gene for including tap dance in the musical landscape.
Two of the most beloved people of my childhood. Made me cry hearing Andrew sing Auld Lang Syne, such innocence and beauty. I've always wondered what the words are to that!
At the very end of this, when Julie said Goodbye, I saw the same look we saw so often from Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. Perhaps Diana’s resemblance to Julie Andrew’s, without realizing it, is what endeared her to so many. Ask any women who grew up seeing Julie Andrews as Maria in The Sound of Music. We all loved her and wanted her to be our mother!
It’s not until I watch something so simple and purely lovely that I remember how exhausted I am of Facebook scrolling. I hope someday our culture will relearn what really entertainment looks like.
Adorable. Fun. Sweet! A time sadly gone by… Every 1950’s and 60’s kids wish to dance with Gene Kelly or be with Mary Poppins - dreams are made of this. 💕
I learned to tap later in life and you can tell by the articulation of her feet (flexible ankles) and the lightness with which she dances that she has probably tapped for years and years.
Where Astaire strivedvfor perfection, Kelly had a natural fluidity. As for Mlss Andrews just an amazing talent. We were lucky to have recordings of there work.
Gene was just as much a perfectionist as Fred if not way more so. He drove every co-star to the brink. Poor Debbie Reynolds who was crying with bleeding blisters pracroxinf for hours and hours while he browbeat her even though she was only 19 ans had never tapped and was thrown into the deep end my dancing with the world's greatest and a seriously talented dancer in Donald O'Connor who could pretty much hold his own against Gene but you can definitely see the lack snd polish abd control in Donald's technique vs the perfect Gene. Cid Charisse said her husband knew whether she was dancing with Gene or Fred as Gene would leave her in bruises. And Gene was so particular that he would re dub all tap numbers they did and filmed in a movie and go in a small box or small stage and re-dance/tap all the numbers over again--and even tap and dub whathe deemed weaker performances of co-stars...that's how much of s perfectionist he was!!!
Какие замечательные артисты, светлые красивые лица, супер талантливые! С удовольствием пересматривала чудесный старый фильм о Мэрри Поппинс и по-детски радовалась этой весёлой бессмыслице "суперкеллифраджелистикэкспиалидошес".
At the time, Jack Warner didn’t think Julie Andrews was famous enough to star in the film version of My Fair Lady. He wanted, and got, Audrey Hepburn. Warner also asked Cary Grant to play Henry Higgins, but he refused, saying that Rex Harrison _was_ Henry Higgins and no one else could play the part. 😎🎹
So beautiful! Makes me think of my dad, who absolutely loved, Julie Andrews! Miss watching him listening to her albums, in our living room. Such good memories!
This is something I never knew I needed on my recommendation, but I am so glad it did. This made my day watching this, watching two legends being with each other and dancing too is great.
How can we even separate what to be impressed by here? Is it how fit and agile Gene Kelly still is? Is it how Julie Andrews can keep step with him? Perhaps its just that- however many years later it is today.. it is still just a wow moment of two outstanding performers.
her voice is so pristine. her expressions, and facial control is perfect. she dances so well too. Shes just perfect.
And nobody else quite has the same accent
She did sing for King George VI when she was only thirteen.
We all know she can sing, but I did not know she could tap dance. Endless talent.
Practically perfect in every way

I concur!
She had a tremendous range, and it all seemed effortless, from top to bottom.
A 5 octave range. @@freespirit5680
Dancing with Gene Kelly had to be quite intimidating! But Julie did it beautifully.
The good old days. They didn't need showy stage props. Their talent shined through.
No one showed us their body parts barely covered by thin translucent fabrics.
Part of the beauty of good old days was the fact that you needed actual talent and personality to be a star...
The two most charming people ever together. What a class act they both were/are.

A humble entertainer. It's been a long time since we've seen much of that.

have u seen Mary Poppins? she danced amazingly in that!
