Really Impressed With the Tap Dance Sequence on Rewatch

The first time I saw it the planetarium sequence was what really stood out to me as the best sequence and the kind of thing that demonstrates why movies need to always be shown theatrically. I feel the same way about the tap dance sequence on the road after seeing it for the second time today. The first time I think I paid too much attention to the dancing but this time I looked at the whole frame and really saw hoe beautiful it was.

Did you notice that their tap dance duet was done in a single take? Long single takes are rare enough, but when it is a dance number by two actors who are not professional dancers, that's impressive.

Noticed it in the second viewing. Yeah, for actors who are not professional dancers, they were really quite incredible.
