Tea For Two (1950) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TeaForTwo

Doris Day and Gordon MacRae star as a 1920s heiress who aspires to stardom and the attorney who falls in love with her. Nanette Carter's (Day) wealthy uncle agrees to finance a Broadway musical starring Nanette--on the condition that for 24 hours she answer "No" to any question. This one little stipulation leads to a whole host of romantic complications in this jazz-age musical. Loosely based re-working of the Broadway hit "No, No, Nanette"

Directed By David Butler
Starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Gene Nelson

It is amazing to think that this is seventy years old.

[treasurebehold]

How do they manage to make these dances look so classy. It was a different era back then.

Had no idea Patrice Wymore was this amazingly talented, gorgeous and what a bod. I had only seen her in bit dramatic parts. She sure got short changed!

[barbaramccroy]

Now that’s what I call dancing! That was fantastical! I adore this video music and all! Pure loveliness.🥰

[joek]

What a great number!!!! The initial part of it is the best where Patrice Wymore sings & dances on her own - although the singing was probably dubbed in by another artist. Fantastic intro with her dance number! Love this movie.

Gene Nelson is as great as a dancer like Fred Astaire. - 1950 was a highlight for his talent.

Gene Nelson is so underappreciated as a dancer! I've always felt he deserves to be thought of the way Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly are when people think of film dancers. Possibly working at Warners, where the musicals didn't have the prestige of the MGM musicals, keeps him in the shadows. But I always thought he combined the best of Astaire's grace and rhythm with Kelly's athleticism. He seems to have been able to do anything needed in dance. Plus, he got his start as an professional ice skater, so his talent was just enormous. Fred is my top favorite, but I think Nelson beats Kelly for my second favorite dance legend.

0:32 - 1:46 - female dancer in high heels - simply unbelievable she did these moves in stiletto heels.
2:22 - Check out how the male dancer leaps up using the top of his feet to do that. Stunning!
3:17 - the male dancer is incredible! This is Olympic level gymnastics. Check out his turns in slow motion (set your speed to .25) and watch how he leaps in a twisting flip over each woman on the floor. Dead accuracy and the most amazing mid air twists! Spectacular.

While 'Rock around the clock' is my top-most favorite musical film, 'Tea for Two' is easily the second best. The film is a joy with a neat plot, songs and dances galore with some very intricate and neat footwork by Mr. Twinkle Toes, Gene Nelson with singing by Doris Day, showing that she is no mean dancer in synchronized stepping with Mr. Nelson. Gordon MacRae entertains with his handsomeness and great singing. There's a Charleston dance sequence that's a real standout.Boy, that's what dancing is all about. Here shown dancing is Patrice Wymore, who was once Errol Flynn's wife in real-life for a while.

Patrice Wymore was very talented. A “triple threat” as they call it. She could dance, sing, act. What gorgeous gams she had.

[Itsdaniiieel]

How I wish this is still taught on dance classes til now on 2020 😍😭😭

[eogg]

It is something, these actors from the early years into the 50 were so much more talented than the actors of today, the studios gave long contracts and then taught them everything, of course a lot of them were already knowledgeable from their vaudeville days.

[ivormendes]

That was wonderful watching once again of this I saw in my younger days. Nothing like these now. Thanks. Blessings

[conejitacarreno]

Grandes, hermosas y profesionales producciones. Excelentes y talentosos actores. Lástima que ya se ha perdido ese bello género. Gracias por el vídeo.

[incutheta]

Oh man. I know that this is much earlier, but when he jumped off of that drum, all I could see was Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

[larryshaver]

The color in this has really held up well I'm amazed

[martach]
