| The taps for "Singin' in the Rain" were dubbed by Gwen Verdon (Jack Cole's assistant) and Carol Haney (who was Kelly's assistant), to be completely correct. Most tap sounds were recorded later in musical films. I mean there are times in some films where folks are dancing and halfway through the number taps are heard, and the dancers haven't even had time to change their shoes to tap shoes! Anyway, I'm talking about the movement and the quality of the dancing in the clip I linked. I highly doubt that Nelson would have concocted such highly difficult number for Day -- or an even more fiendishly difficult one on the steps in the title song of the film of the same name "Lullaby of Broadway" had he not felt that she could execute them well. |
