    Fascinating choreography with a lot of emphasis on the arms and legs doing fast and tight maneuvers close to the body with a lot of side snapping with the head..I really don't know how they do it ! Incredible number, orchestration, and shot composition. And that series of brassy chords at the end from about 7:20 is so bad ass and in your face !! A real show stopper

    Top five “most entertaining scene in a movie musical”. Rest In Peace Bobby Rydell.

    The choreographer should have won an Oscar for this scene alone.
  • @JackiesStuff
    This scene still blows me away all these years later!!!

    I was lucky as a kid to met Ann Margaret at the Fox Warfield Theater. She was there to promote the movie. My mom took me there. She was very sweet and pretty.

    Is anyone here noticing Bobby Rydell's parter, in light blue? That's Lorene Yarnell, who later became famous in the mime team Shields and Yarnell. A great all-around performer.

    I love how expressive Ann's face is when she sings!

    What an incredible dance scene!!! I can't imagine how much planning, rehearsal, and work went into it!!!

    I can't get enough of this scene. It's always a killer on so many levels. So much talent packed into one really cool dance scene. Ann and Bobby nail it. All this plus Paul Lynde, Dick Van Dyke and Ed Sullivan? You betcha.

    This scene and dance routine is epic. And that Conrad Birdie is a hoot.
  • @billywhippet
    I only came here for Ann margret, but that dancing was great
  • @pattygoody
    One of the best choreographed scenes put down on film. I saw BBB when in the movie theater when I was eight years old!
  • @utahaztec
    I can watch this scene a thousand times and not get tired of watching it.
  • When Ann-Margaret dances she enters into a sphere were if you do not follow her, you will be left behind! That is the awesomness of this dancer! To know that you are in your own element of your gifting, yet invite everyone else into the party! Ann-Margaret is truly an awesome, magifincent, outstanding dancer!

    When I was younger, I said that I was going to learn this routine. Never did. But it's never too late
  • @ronnieway1
    Ann Margret was beyond talented! I could watch her dance everday & it would never get old...unlike me!

    Bobby's my favorite. He's got a great voice. He's not nearly appreciated enough. Dancing, singing, looks. Gosh Hugo...

    Still feeling the grief of Bobby Rydell's passing. His songs were part of my teenage years growing-up. Times were so much simpler back then. RIP Bobby.
