I have increasingly become an admirer of ballet, and this one is amazing! How professional ballerinas, at the top of their game, can purposely make mistakes: I'll never know.

What a well-done bit of "knockabout comedy" - and I wouldn't have suspected that Preston was capable of such. (Although in The Music Man he did have some moments.)

I found movie to be extremely funny. Preston and Andrews were a fantastic team.

I thought something in the audio of the video referenced 1954, which would place it nearer Music Man.  I'm not well-versed in choreography, but I love work like this!  I did love Dick Van Dyke and Buddy Ebson for their dancing, but they pretty much gave that up for straight acting.
