Today TCM was featuring Fred Astaire as part of their month-long "Summer Under the Stars" programming. We just got finished watching a 1991 program about Fred Astaire as a singer. Which was great, w/ lots of clips from the movies plus some rare footage, like a rehearsal from Shall We Dance, an alternate take of "I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man," and some kinescopes of Astaire on Oscar Levant's TV show from the 50s. Absent any concerns about rights and clearances and whatever, Astaire had a long career full of brilliant work, so it was inevitable that they wouldn't be able to fit everything into 1 hour.
Here's one thing that got missed -- a bit of Astaire and Crosby from Holiday Inn
