yup. don’t forget “Dangerous”

This is a masterpiece at every level. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone alive today who could dance like the background cast in this sequence let alone like Astaire and Charisse. The dialogue, music, art direction, costuming, and performances are all breathtaking. Charisse has pure animal magnetism combined with utter class, she is sensual and erotic in the artistic sense, not the commercial sense. She charges Astaire’s performance with sexuality and glamour on a nuclear scale.

Cyd Charisse in my opinion was one of Hollywoods most under rated dancer/actress. I never get tired of watching her movies.

The cycle of nostalgia is fascinating. 80s nostalgia is hot right now, which is what brought some of us to Smooth Criminal. In the 80s, the hot deal was 50s nostalgia (think Happy Days, Back to the Future, and SMOOTH CRIMINAL). Now we're here, the 50s. But look closely. This video is a nostalgic love letter to the 1920s with speakeasies, prohibition gangsters and hardboiled noir detectives.

Mr Astaire was the greatest dancer - An utter perfectionist who would only dance with the best, and all of his wonderful partners qualified. However, I think Ms Charisse was the only one who was his equal, not only in talent, but in sheer magnetism. Either together, or as individuals, they were the definition of class and elegance, just pure magic.

Arguably the best musical ever, even over singin’ in the rain.

The bit about the rag, the bone, and the hank of hair being the clue is priceless -- it is a quote from a Kipling poem about a woman unworthy of her lover's true devotion. In other words, the "guy was trying to tell me something" was a warning about the femme fatale (both blonde and brunette) portrayed by Cyd Charisse.

Cyd Charisse she was so underrated as an actress and as a dancer. Cyd was an incredible talent. So much of the focus in dance scenes is put on Gene Kelly and Fred Astair when they have danced with Cyd. Kind of annoys me really because all eyes on Cyd Charisse. I can tell you for a fact when my family have watched the dance scenes in many of her films, the guys and the girls are commenting on, and watching Cyd not her male dance partners in the scenes. She was beautiful, talented, she had a great figure, and boy oh boy what a set of legs she had on her. Rest in Peace Miss Cyd Charisse, you were beyond fantastic. Thank you for this video clip.

It was not stealing, he literally dedicated it to Fred Astaire - the book Moonwalk literally starts with a dedicated tribute to Fred Astaire lol... Michael did this because Fred Astaire was his idol and because Fred Astaire literally called him up after the Motown 25 performance when Michael was crying because he thought it was awful. Fred said he could die happy knowing Michael Jackson lived, he said Michael was the best dancer he had ever seen. Michael was no thief, this was a tribute.
