Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds - Where did you learn to dance

Bruh.... Why am I slowly getting a crush on Donald?

All that dancing, who knew Donald would have heart issues. So sorry for what Debbie went through with her daughter but glad they are together. So lovely in brown hair. Nowadays if youth have a waist that small, doctors threaten to hospitalize them.

They were the perfect match together. I love them both. Such great dancers. Unforgettable. ❤️❤️❤️

How can there be 139 people who dislike this great dance sequence? Beyond me

Donald O'Connor was an amazing dancer.

Brings me back and reminds me of singing in the rain

I just love these musicals. Would rather watch these than what they have out there now.

It seems like I heard that Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor were basically self taught dancers.

Thanks for posting. I had not seen this before. Very nice number. Too many don't realize how great Donald O'Connor was.

DEBBIE REYNOLDS HAUCHTE DIESEN FILM RICHTIG LEBEN EIN

ANOTHER GREAT ACTER 🌟 DEBBIE RENAULT
DONALD O CONNER BRING BACK ALL THESE FILMS❤ON TV

Really marvellous dancer, donald o connor!

Those two are the best.

Just a baby and small child I'm the 50's but I do enjoy the old movies.

Donald o connor is for me a great dancer..

Younger generations seem to forget history through media like this and many would insist that "white people can't dance". Shame really.

I love Donald O’Conner 😍😭❤️

Debbie was so gorgeous.

Their career is watching tv LOL

Donald O'Connor made sure Gene Kelly, who was a tyrant on set, took most of his anger and outbursts when filming out on him rather than Debbie Reynolds. Wasn't till the 70's, I think, that Reynolds found out. O'Connor was 26-27, while Reynolds was only 19 when filming.

I kept trying to see her shoes. She looks barefoot, but her feet tapped, lol.

If she said Randall Flag I would laugh since it is like the character from The Stand.

"You better take care or the carpet will burn!" 😂

Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds - both great artists. I get in good mood by seeing them

❣️

Jeeeesh.. Debbie was one of the most beautiful, talented ladies in all of the 20th Century..

I want her dress, its so pretty!!

Reminds me of Danny Kaye a bit.

I'm so glad that Donald O'Connor is finally getting some appreciation!

What year was this musical made?

This movie is seriously underrated. Just about every number is sublime and Donald & Debbie have such jubilant chemistry here. They should have become a team.

These two cute together

Added Gene Kelly, it gonna be singin' in the rain

I remember first watching this on tv one afternoon while convalescing from a serious op. I was in my teens and feeling low. This movie cheered me up no end. Thanks Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds wherever you are.

Keep in mind: Debbie Reynolds' first big role was in "Singing In The Rain", only 1 (maybe 2) years before this movie - and she had NO dance experience. So what she did here was amazing.

Donald O'Connor was every inch as good a singer/dancer/actor as Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire but for some reason, Hollywood movie companies liked to bill him less than them. It wasn't fair but it was the system in Hollywood at the time that some would be promoted over others who were equally as good.

Agreed

Por favor que cinturita una muñequita!!Bellisimas esas mujeres de esa epoca y que talento.Un disfrute genial

What movie?

Amazing! Debbie Reynold's shoes are incredible since she looks barefooted

A Common Man dancer and NOTHING Common about him.

👏браво

That's our lovely Debbie Reynolds in a sequence from 'I Love Melvin' with Donald O'Connor. I'ts hard to believe that Debbie wasn't a professional dancer because all her foot-work in film musicals seem seamless. She was also such a lovely wholesome beauty of the great American kind with her auburn hair and green eyes. Yes, to this very day, Debbie remains a perennial family fave.

I can't get over how expressive Debbie Reynolds face is.

She was stunningly cute

Genious..

Debbie Reynolds' training was in gymnastics. She learned how to dance for "Singin' in the Rain." Gene Kelly was actually kind of bugged with her because he had to spend so much time teaching her the steps. He later admitted that he felt bad for being so mean to her during the filming of "Singin' in the Rain." She ended up being an amazingly fast learner.

Whenever I see old clips like this of Donald O'Connor I immediately think of Sean Hayes.

There is an ease and natural feel to this dance. They look like they are having fun. Even though her dances with Gene Kelly and others are perfect, they lack that ease.
