Someone To Watch Over Me - Marge and Gower Champion
Ойын-сауық
This number from the 1955 movie "Three For The Show", choreographed by Jack Cole, is pretty much forgotten but for my money is one of the great celluloid dance numbers and absolutely epitomises how it feels to fall in love.

Absolutely adored both of them and their dancing was incredible, what a husband and wife team ❤️.....Absolutely amazing 👏 ❤️
I think this was their best work, especially after the dialogue when they just dance.
Wow! I can't believe I've never seen this. Rivals Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse Dancing in the Dark!
They make it look so effortless when it's actually extremely difficult.
Such a perfectly matched dancing pair in so many ways.....this number is absolutely breathtaking.
I'm a ballroom dancer and this is how we all dream that we could move!
We never saw enough of this talented married couple…..lovely…🌹💝
I’m a harpist. They don’t write music like this anymore. Beautiful music is a thing of the past.

When I was studying Composition while at University my Composition Professor always complained " It Sounds like a Musical". Well, I grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing the "Songbooks", not Hindemith!?! So? It's not that they don't write songs like this, it's more like "they won't teach us", but We try anyway. I'm still studying Gershwin and have Ideas for Musicals, but it's very difficult to do all on your own.

@@jackwilloughby239 Not sure if you’ve heard of Jennifer Higdon. She is a Pulitzer Prize winning composer. One of her biggest influences was the Beatles. She said she listened to her Beatles records for hours growing up.

I have heard of her through Hillary Hahn. I once bought a copy of "the Complete Scores". I don't see how anyone could grow up in the 60's and 70's without being influenced by Lennon and McCartney. Reading through "Tunesmith" by Jimmy Web (Wichita Lineman) Jim says Paul is the greatest songwriter who ever lived. Hard to disagree with that! Cheers,@@fd9987
Thought I’d seen everything but this is completely new to me. Amazing.🌹
Love her dress, fantastic dancers
Not a step out of place. The specificity of this routine. Astounding.
Wow, I've not even seen this movie before. What a perfect transition of mood.
A different, classier time.
What a beautiful performance including the exquisite dancing, a wonderful Gershwin song and their charming patter. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you .... America needs ROMANCE... having this fabulous film brings ROMANCE.
Complex routine and great chemistry .
It's like a dance version of the bench scene in "Carousel."
How have I lived fifty-one years and watched so many movie musicals and never heard of these people? This number is just spectacular.

Somehow they always landed in less popular musicals. But they were paired with Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson twice - Showboat and Lovely to Look At
Perfection
I'm so pleased people are responding to this!

T'he film is "Lovely to look at"
What kind of champagne should I order? Depends on what you're launching. Great line. I have never seen this scene before. It is right up there with the best. Good acting too. I can't walk down a flight of stairs with confidence without staying in contact with the handrail. He goes down backwards, gracefully, carrying her over his head. Wow.
This is Pure PERFECTION ❤❤❤
Never seen this. Just lovely
Beautiful dance duet!
Wow, just when I thought I'd seen it all, here comes an AMAZING number right out of left field. Thanks for posting. Absolutely spellbinding. I need to see the full movie! :)
Knew one another over lifetimes, mayhaps; met up in our lifetimes for devoted dancing, to put it mildly. Never this saw this, either, Thanks!
Truly breathtaking. Thank you for giving us this no longer forgotten masterpiece.
Such a great dance! Like you said, this dance shows a couple falling in love. It actually reminds me of a famous moment from the 1943 comedy The More the Merrier. Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea play two people who are increasingly attracted to each other despite her engagement to another man. They are walking home together one evening. Their conversation is casual but their gestures and body language as they walk clearly show they are dying to get close. It's a well-choreographed scene in its own way, just like this dance is. Thank you for posting it!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this beautiful and brilliant clip ❣️
This is beautiful art on so many levels - beautiful music, beautiful dancing, beautiful storytelling, beautiful choreography, beautiful acting, and just a beautiful love story. Hard to believe this is so unknown, but it's a classic - thanks for shining a light on this!
Wow this is amazing
Just the Best! Thanks.
Have been in love with this couple for many years ❤
Glorious dance routine!
Beautiful! It is everything you say say in the description.
boy could they dance!
This was absolutely lovely!! Thank you for sharing this!
This is a terrific dance. I must say though that it wasn't really choreographed by Jack Cole, although he may have overseen it and contributed ideas to it. It's fully vintage Champion and features many of the steps, lifts and combinations that you'll see in other of his dances.
Amazing piece of poetry in motion. Thank you posting. A gem.
Wow! That as a great jump onto his shoulder by the stairway. @2:53
Wonderful dancing!
When I was a kid I was always happy when Marge and Gower were on a TV show. Such elegance and style.

I think the movie I first saw them in was “Abba Dabba Honeymoon”. Or maybe that was the title of their dance? It was beautiful and great fun.

Two of the greatest. Thanks for posting!
perfection---2 of the greatest everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
LOVE IT! I'd never seen it before, either.
Wow! Fantastic scene and amazing quality of the video, considering it is from 1955.
'Maybe I would wear my _pink_ dress ...'
I thought she was Vera Ellen. Never heard of this couple. They’re great!
Perfection ! Up there with Fred and Gene.
Watch him carry her down the stairs...backwards!
Stunning! Thanks so much for posting this.
Shaun what about John Lunn's score for Like father like son (2005). It's nowhere to be found😢
Qué buena química entre ellos! Fantásticamente bailado!
This is dancing
I would love to know who the Choreographer is? Her dress is like a 3rd character in 5his piece. I'm very unfamiliar with these two dancers, unfortunately! I've certainly heard their names but haven't seen their performances.
