Eleanor Powell and Buddy Rich: An Amazing Tap Dance Routine

This clip from the 1942 movie, Ship Ahoy, is an excellent illustration of talent squared. While both Powell and Rich are extremely talented stars in their own right, this skit is an awesome demonstration of pure rhythm. Not only is Powell a tap dance phenomenon, her acrobatic skill is pretty amazing as well. Although the plot of the movie is a bit contrived, the dance scenes alone make it worth watching.
