I’m no expert on film musicals. My favorites are The Band Wagon and Singin’ in the Rain.

This sequence from Broadway Melody of 1940 featuring Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell is great. I love the mirrors and stars in the background.

Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell in "Broadway Melody of 1940", directed by Norman Taurog, 21 September, 1939.

Astaire was reportedly slightly intimidated by Powell, as she was considered one of the few female dancers capable of out-performing Astaire.
