She has always been an Excellent Dancer. They don't make em like Ann anymore!

[hrhpaula]

I think unless you have taken tap lessons, its difficult to imagine the amount of crazy talent here!

[DEFinitivelyHis]

This number stands up to the test of time every single time. Ann Miller was phenomenal.

[louisebayer]

I can't believe they cut away form her feet.

[weswolever]

I saw her in1980 in “Sugar Babies”.... she would have been about 57+/- and still had the HOT!!!

[McGravity]

She had the temperament to play Kate, instead of the wishy-washy Katharine Grayson.

1'07" "Her lovely doggie" ??

My grandma always hated that they never showed her feet at 3:00. She said at her live performances she was known for moving her feet that fast and moving slowly and willowy above the waist at the same time, and it was a shame they didn't do a full body shot of that there!

I mean. Jesus. I have watched this movie a million times, but this is my favorite part. She is a BEAST.

[r.scougal]

This film - "Kiss Me, Kate" - is terrific fun from start to finish, but this is my favorite part. If you haven't seen it, you should! Really a great classic musical comedy.

All of the great leggy dames of MGM were wonderful, each in their own way- Debbie, Eleanor, Cyd... but ANNIE was calves and ankles above them all... Just my personal POV... Where are the great musical composers and choreographers like Cole Porter and Bob Fosse today? UGH... I'm 58, and I can't stand how debased Broadway has become... Sorry if I sound like an old geezer.

Ann Miller is one hot dancer. Call the firefighters.

[skivvyyo]

Ann Miller at her absolute finest; all throughout the move.

[TokyoSpike]

I love how this scene starts off with Lili and Cole thinking she's just some chorus girl with minimal / no talent and then she blows them away. Even Lili admits she's great.

[amfanmagician]

She totally stole this film. Doesn't matter if she wasn't top billed. For talent and sexiness in this film, she was unmatched.

[freak]

One of the greatest dancers of the 20th century and what legs.

[misss]

qué magnífica bailarina....en América sí que eran showomen, lo hacían todo y todo bien, o mejor dicho todo excelente; actriz, cantante y arte!!!. ahora ya no se ve, ....ya no!

[colemcleod]

Her spinning and navigation of the small space cluttered with furniture to knock over, the coffee table and narrow ledge and arm of the couch she balances and hot-foots across -puts to shame any modern-day 'star' performer who can still find a way to wipe out, step off the ledge of a vast wide stage space - or trip on stairs - this puts 'em all to shame.
The talent of this golden era makes ours look pathetic.

This was actually filmed in 3D. Not that cheesy red-green 3D like Bwana-Devil, but polarization separation, like in the film "Gravity". You cannot get that on (most) TVs. The bit where Ann is dancing on the coffee table in front of three mirrors has to be seen in 3D to be appreciated. Also, where she throws a garter directly at the camera. The whole film is full of bits, like fire breathers and jugglers, that need to be seen in 3D to be appreciated.

Because it was filmed using polarization separation, either reel, left or right, makes a perfectly good 2D reel.

This is Ann at her absolute best but her dancing was always so carefree  :)
