Glad you liked. Try this one which actually seems to foreshadow "West Side Story" and some other later choreography

like "On the Town" and "Slaughter on 10th Avenue", certainly already doing some stuff Gene Kelly seemed to take credit for in the latter two and his later work. It's a fairly long dance on film with action that propels a story. The set, supposedly on a stage, is huge considering the area that Ms. Matthew and Mr. Whiting cover. It's quite well done. It's a real shame that she wasn't allowed by her studio to come to the U.S. to co-star with Fred Astaire in "A Damsel in Distress", but Mr. Whiting was quite a good partner for her here.
