| (By the way, Mr. Gemignani offered his opinion of the ‘50s movie version: “Don’t see it.”) The 1953 movie version has a lot wrong with it, but if you miss it you will also miss THE greatest small-group dance number in the history of movie musicals: "From This Moment On," danced by Ann Miller, Tommy Rall, Carol Haney, Bob Fosse, Jeanne Coyne, and Bobby Van. Five minutes of the sublimest bliss that movies can provide. |

Agreed, and there are several other excellent moments in the film as well, including "Tom, Dick or Harry," which is maybe the second-greatest small-group dance number in the history of movie musicals :-) |

I've never done a ranking of the whole "top ten," but I did decide some time ago that "From This Moment On" was my favorite movie musical dance number for more than two people and fewer than, say, a dozen. (For a big group, my favorite would be the big shebang for the brides, the brothers, and the town boys in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.) |

| Seeing it in 3-D is a hoot. They keep throwing things out to the audience. | |

| Ooh, how's that for clickbait? But that's my fave 3D moment. Laura |

| Yeah, the whole picture is kind of fun in a klunky way, but that one dance number I mentioned really is sublime. It's like, the one place where the Broadway champagne hasn't been turned into beer for the mass audience. | |
