If Fred Astaire Is The Cary Grant

In The 1930s There Was This Tendency In Hollywood To Portray Everyone As Rich. Even If They Were Doing A Poor Man's Dance, They Were All So Nicely Clothed, Gowned, Coiffured. That's Why I Decided To Wear White Socks, Loafers, T-shirts, And Blue Jeans. I Had A Sociopolitical Context In Front Of Me: I Was A Child Of The Depression Who Danced In A Way That Would Represent The Common Man.

The Way I Look At A Musical, You Are Commenting On The Human Condition No Matter What You Do. A Musical May Be Light And Frivolous, But By Its Very Nature, It Makes Some Kind Of Social Comment.

Things Danced On The Screen Do Not Look The Way They Do On The Stage. On The Stage, Dancing Is Three-dimensional, But A Motion Picture Is Two-dimensional.

I Got Started Dancing Because I Knew It Was One Way To Meet Girls.
