When this video opens, it appears to be all ballet (It isn't. )-- continue watching, as many dancers from over the years appear in this video. What a treat to watch. Whoever put this together has a wonderful sense of music.. Puts a smile on your face!

Just watched this.....................great.

James Cagney started off as a hoofer, so good to see him in something else rather than Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Was that the Clark Brothers tap dancing? Anyone know?

Hello Hayley,

No that is not me! I did not marry in a hat. I had the full shamozzle, white dress, tiara and veil. lol

That is Theda Bara again, she is far prettier than I.
