I've watched it twice so far, and will probably watch another 100 or so...just AMAZING!

Glad you took a chance !

Seeing cute little Shirley Temple funk dancing to Bruno Mars, is unlikely something you expected to encounter today

funky mashup! I don't feel worthy to use the word...but in this case....

The sound of glass breaking just as the 3 jumped from high heights doing the splits is hilarious!

If you go to you tube someone lists all the movies from which the clips were taken.

I have to admit I'm a TCM addict and the "old" movies just make me feel good. They didn't have to use foul language to get a laugh, or take their clothes off ~ they actually had to have talent to be in a movie. I guess as one gets older, one tends to forget the horrors that were actually going on in the "old days". I thank you for bringing a smile to my face during this most depressing time in my 72 years.

It should be kept with the original music. Here's one of the best dance numbers in American history, with the music that goes with it. Keep your eyes on the feet, particularly the heel actions, and body movements. No hiding the feet, and no cgi here. It was done all in one take. The clackety sounds are really theirs...heels and forefeet taps.
