FRED ASTAIRE in SMOOTH CRIMINALStarring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie CaronChoreographed by Michael Kidd'Smooth Criminal' by Michael JacksonVideo edited by CFJI love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this. The video features scenes from the Girl Hunt ballet in The Band Wagon (1953) starring Astaire and Cyd Charisse (those supreme legs!! The most perfect body a woman could have. So sensual, so elegant), to which MJ gave homage in his Smooth Criminal vid (also in a performance of Get Happy on the Jacksons show in the 70s as well as You Rock My World in 2001), and, as an intro, a sequence from Daddy Long Legs (1955) featuring Leslie Caron (in motion pictures, you mustn't put a coin into a jukebox in an ordinary way!).My initial idea was using also Yolanda And The Thief (1945) where Astaire appeared with the same costume, a white suit, hat and a blue shirt, but I eventually omitted it.Michael Kidd worked with Janet in the Alright vid in 1990, featuring Cyd Charisse (in the red dress!), the Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway.If you want to see Astaire at the top of his game, watch his 30s and early 40s films (Ginger Rogers was not the best DANCE partner for him though. She was a great comedienne. The pair was more than just dance partners).My other Astaire and MJ related videos:Origins of the Moonwalk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

you are right...Michael and Fred are great in their own styles, but Jackson's routine is just perfection.

Friggin' awesome editing. So often something like this isn't done well and the dance moves don't match the music. This was done brilliantly!
