Thread Name: Top musical number in film
Subject: Top musical number in film
'Fred Astaire, whatever his virtues, was hardly a top singer [tho a most attractive one at that]; but 'A Couple Of Swells' from 'Easter Parade', his duet with Judy Garland, would probably be my choice of best-ever musical number in a film: even more than the two brilliant ones from 'Singing In The Rain', 'Make Em Laugh' & the title number.'
I wrote this on another thread, but decided the topic needs a thread of its own — so this is it.
Pausing simply to add 'Kiss Me Kate's' 'Brush Up Your Shakespeare' as a further candidate, I hereby throw this debate open to the floor...
