| | | | | Fred Astaire: Encyclopedia II - Musical film - Musicals of the classical sound era The 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s are often considered the golden age of the musical, when the genre's popularity was at its height.
Musical film - Busby Berkeley.
During the 1930s, director Busby Berkeley began to enhance the traditional dance number with ideas drawn from the drill precision he had experienced as a soldier during the First World War. In films such as 42nd Street (1933), Berkeley choreographed a number of films in his unique style. Berkeley's numbers typically begin on a stage but gradual ...

| | | | | Fred Astaire: Encyclopedia II - Rita Hayworth - Personal life Naturally shy and reclusive, Hayworth was the antithesis of the characters she played.

| | | | | Fred Astaire: Encyclopedia II - Vaudeville - History
Vaudeville - Origin.
Though often confused with variety, its generically distinct predecessor (c. 1860s-1881), mature vaudeville distinguished itself from the earlier form by its mixed-gender audience, usually alcohol-free halls, and often slavish devotion to inculcating favor among members of the emerging middle class. Its popularity grew in step with the rise of industry and the growth of North American cities during this period, and declined with the introduction of sound films and radio. The origin of the ter ...

| | | | | Fred Astaire: Encyclopedia II - Tap dance - Steps in Tap Dancing The simplest step is the toe tap, using the ball of your foot to make a sound. The same sound can come from the heel, although often it is not as loud or pronounced. These steps can be combined to make a cramp roll which produces a rolling sound like a horse gallop. It is done by stepping on your right toe, then left, then placing your right heel down, then the left or it is started with the left toe. By slighty jumping into the step and doing it continually, the proper sound is made. The next step in tap dancing is the shuffle. Standing on ...

| | | | | Fred Astaire: Encyclopedia II - The Green Mile film - Plot Summary The Green Mile is a story told in "flashback" by an elderly Paul Edgecomb in a nursing home. He tells a friend about the summer of 1935 when he was a prison guard in charge of death row inmates. His domain was called "The Green Mile" because the linoleum floor was green. The star of the cellblock was "Old Sparky", the electric chair, sitting peacefully, waiting for its next victim.
One day, a new inmate arrives. He is seven-foot-tall John Coffey, a black man (wrongly) convicted of raping and killing two young white girls. Coffey immed ...
