Song & Tap Dance 1936 (George Murphy & Virginia Grey)

 

From the short: VIOLETS IN SPRING 1936 George Murphy was one of the best song and dance men of the 1930's and early 40's. But he may have been the most important song and dance man in Hollywood history for another reason. It is claimed by some that he was the guy who convinced Ronald Reagan to enter politics. For this reason many today would like to have seen him either canonized or hung. Virginia Grey was mostly a Hollywood and TV actress who's career extended from the late 1920's all the way to the mid 1970's. But she was also a very good dancer and like George Murphy and Ronald Reagan a diehard conservative Republican. My how Hollywood has changed. I've included the entire number including the opening vocals and I think the dance scene which begins at about the 1:50 mark has a kind of nice easy flow to it.
