"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 :-)

You may very well be right. 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.)
