Broadway Melody of 1940 was on TCM the other night, and we turned it on just as my favorite dance scene was starting – the “Italian Cafe Routine”. It’s not as jaw dropping as the “Begin the Beguine” finale, but I love how this routine is natural and playful. And it doesn’t hurt how great their outfits are – Chris and I would wear clothes like this every day if we could!  (He’s just crazy for that little bolero – they show off his small waist. 😉

Here’s a picture of Fred and Eleanor rehearsing for this movie- I love that Eleanor was a trousers gal.
