Haven't seen that since I was a kid. I remember even then thinking Fred Astair was "gross" as far as being a romantic interest for the much younger Judy Garland. My opinion of that hasn't changed much! What was new to me was how this song was like a gender-role reversal. She is both objectifying and gently mocking Astair, and is the aggressor in the physical space.

And not necessarily in musicals. I could see them doing a great father-daughter drama.

Thanks for posting!
