I am so blessed to have known, and been friends with this incredible woman ! Not only a great movie star 🌟, but also one of the finest ladies I've ever had the pleasure of knowing .

No matter how down I’m feeling, I watch this and I’m back in a happy mood again. Boy, she was beautiful

Best female tap dancer of all time incredible footwork.

[Vejur]

The greatest tap dancer of all time, was taught by a legend. A super athlete, with percussion skills off the charts.

I read that not only did she do all her own choreography, but she trained her little dog here too. Eleanor Powell just brings joy to all. What a talent! 💗

[stephaniestanley]

brilliant and joyous...what a talent and beauty she was, simply perfection!

[esmeephillips]

The beauty of this sequence is that she has trained the dog to respond not to words of command but to taps and arm gestures. The dance therefore becomes a further integration of her art- to include another living creature.

WOW! THIS IS STELLAR! She is my favorite dancer and that dog is the MOST! LOVE her outfit- those palazzo pants! UNMATCHED talent! Kimberly

I'm writing a WW2 story about my parents and I was researching when I found this.

[marshhen]

Wow what a great scene. I will take this over her dancing with the stiff Fred Astaire anytime. Brilliant

[troyc]

She was damn beautiful and talented...hard to believe she is was way older than my mother even. RIP fine lady

[dudley]

Talk about had it all. She is fantastic, acrobatic and a joy to watch with that great smile!

[BmakinFilm]
