To think how difficult and technical this tap routine would have been done to perform. So many opportunities for a misstep. Truly a talented pair, doing the routine effortlessly.

Her critics called her a triple threat - somebody who could neither sing nor dance nor act, but what she may have lacked in these departments she more than made up in her boundless enthusiasm and the way in which she gave 110% to every role she played. Nobody else, to my mind, better captures the myth of Hollywood, the way it is meant to be - 'Look at me, I made it, I'm having a ball.' The people loved you, Ruby, and we still love you to this day.
What a treat! And Ruby's dance partner is Lee Dixon who would go on to star in the original Broadway cast of Oklahoma! in 1943 as Will Parker ("Everything's up to date in Kansas City....") Sadly, he died very young.
Reminds me of James Cagney's tap dance routine near the beginning of "Something to Sing About," also from 1937. The 30's were an incredible decade for movies. And yes, I agree Ruby Keeler was adorable.

Had Warners been smart, they could have rebranded Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon as a comedy duo. Lee Dixon and Paul Draper really brought out the best in Ruby's dancing.
They are taping dancing on the keys - But this is Hollywood - the sound of the taps were most likely added later by a sound man. It doesn’t take away from their amazing abilities .
After the advent of sound cinema the musical genre was the most accepted by the public cinema of joy of inventive good songs at a time when depression reached everyone and where uncertain socio-political moments were present these musicals of the Warner Bros of the 1930s along with the musicals of the RKO with the couple Asterix Rogers were without a doubt the best musicals of Lada sound first cinematographic epoch and here we have a creative example in stelne this directed by Busby Berkeley this film by the great but anyway it has its cool cool spirit real cool that I most wanted in some current movies was well

Thanks lol. I was about to re re watch it and see what they typed. Yes I remember my first typing lesson.
ASDF ;LKJ lol
With those legs I don’t care if she is dyslexic.
More impressive than most modern effects.
Wow....the dancers, the choreography, the set ....Amazing!
What a unique clever dance number.......they made it work by their well done talented tap dancing. Just an amazing routine!!! Great video!
This is actually crazy! Bring back the old sets and hoofers!
Bring back the Black entertainers these acts were stolen from in the first place.
Can you imagine how painful it would be to miss one of those "key" platforms? Ouch!!!! They pulled off an absolutely amazing routine! 🏆
The way I absolutely adore this!
The craftsmanship, detail and attention is phenomenal! This is the epitome of creativity.

Incredible Dexterity that dancing great to see and great to hear Thanks for posting
I can’t believe how beautiful this set is!
Whew! That typewriter set must've cost the studio plenty!
Ruby is adorable!

just stunning,
those practical set designs are incredible

I think I was born 30 years to late - to listen to every individulal step.

wow! just amazing!! love it
Lee Dixon is simply beautiful to watch!
Terrific choreography

I was focused on the legs on paper the whole time. Lol
Magical
I believe taps where recorded live
Tapwriter...
Marvelous, without any digital effects or such, just built up in real, big size!
too cool!
too cool

You could try having Bruno Mars and Beyonce dance on a giant iPhone, but they'd probably slip on the glass.
You don’t need to put down other people to celebrate this amazing clip. But you did anyway.
Wow.....even if I practiced, I'm afraid I'll slip up and miss a step....crazy!!
the set designer.. "spare no expense!!"
Amazing. How many takes, I wonder.
Gorgeous!
dangerous... doubt they'd do that today~ ruin your career with one misstep... but adorable~
What a creativity and humor was possible in the US while at the same time in a country like Germany was only "marching darkness".
They just don't make typewriters like that any more.....
Is this Busby Berkeley?
Nope. An obvious pastiche, though. Bobby Connolly. He also choreographed the Follow the Yellow Brick Road bit in The Wizard of Oz.
génial
😊😊
The taps are a bit loud but the visuals are brilliant.
😎
Beautiful clip! Only question, what kind of typewriter is that?!
Underfoot?
A very sturdy one. It had to be, so as not to break below Keeler's dancing.
Does Tom Hanks know about this ?
0:22-2:06 tap dance break
