- Tea For Two (1950) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TeaForTwo
Doris Day and Gordon MacRae star as a 1920s heiress who aspires to stardom and the attorney who falls in love with her. Nanette Carter's (Day) wealthy uncle agrees to finance a Broadway musical starring Nanette--on the condition that for 24 hours she answer "No" to any question. This one little stipulation leads to a whole host of romantic complications in this jazz-age musical. Loosely based re-working of the Broadway hit "No, No, Nanette"
Directed By David Butler
Starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Gene Nelson

It is amazing to think that this is seventy years old.
Great music is always young -
Hec so what I am too
Hey! Lighten up. I'm seventy years old.
jthepickle7 You're only a babe compared to all the people in this film, all of them dead and buried.
Seems older.
How do they manage to make these dances look so classy. It was a different era back then.
Yes, I'm always so surprised that something could be so sexy and so classy at the same time.
That's because the dances were truly classy. In Rock around the clock, there were many dancers and dance couples, who, at times, were wild. But for the neatest stepping ever [you can call that CLASS] there's no one to touch the gorgeous , LISA GAYE and choreographer, Earl Barton.
Gene Nelson is as great as a dancer like Fred Astaire. - 1950 was a highlight for his talent.
I wonder if he is as well known as Fred Astaire.
Had no idea Patrice Wymore was this amazingly talented, gorgeous and what a bod. I had only seen her in bit dramatic parts. She sure got short changed!
She was not a great dancer - no way. Not even close. If she had been we would have seen her dance in other movies. But she was very pretty.
How I wish this is still taught on dance classes til now on 2020 😍😭😭
While 'Rock around the clock' is my top-most favorite musical film, 'Tea for Two' is easily the second best. The film is a joy with a neat plot, songs and dances galore with some very intricate and neat footwork by Mr. Twinkle Toes, Gene Nelson with singing by Doris Day, showing that she is no mean dancer in synchronized stepping with Mr. Nelson. Gordon MacRae entertains with his handsomeness and great singing. There's a Charleston dance sequence that's a real standout.Boy, that's what dancing is all about. Here shown dancing is Patrice Wymore, who was once Errol Flynn's wife in real-life for a while.
Now that’s what I call dancing! That was fantastical! I adore this video music and all! Pure loveliness.🥰
Wow! So colourful. So much talent.
It is something, these actors from the early years into the 50 were so much more talented than the actors of today, the studios gave long contracts and then taught them everything, of course a lot of them were already knowledgeable from their vaudeville days.
What a great number!!!! The initial part of it is the best where Patrice Wymore sings & dances on her own - although the singing was probably dubbed in by another artist. Fantastic intro with her dance number! Love this movie.
Incredible,,,,fantastic performance,,,,great rhythm and talent 💃💃💃🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻💃🕺🏻💃🕺🏻🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎷🎺🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵👌👌👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
Gene Nelson is so underappreciated as a dancer! I've always felt he deserves to be thought of the way Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly are when people think of film dancers. Possibly working at Warners, where the musicals didn't have the prestige of the MGM musicals, keeps him in the shadows. But I always thought he combined the best of Astaire's grace and rhythm with Kelly's athleticism. He seems to have been able to do anything needed in dance. Plus, he got his start as an professional ice skater, so his talent was just enormous. Fred is my top favorite, but I think Nelson beats Kelly for my second favorite dance legend.
N AMJ8 He has a nicer body. Gene Kelley had a funny looking hip area. Feminine
Kellys dances oozed character and he was a genius choreographer. A brilliant film maker. Gene Nelson was a top dancer but none of Kelly's star quality and visionary directing skills
No star quality? Really? No visionary directing skills? Maybe that's because Nelson never had the chance to direct or choreograph a film like say, An American in Paris. That Singin in the Rain number from the film by the same name? That one is iconic because the dance was done in the rain. Watch "So This is Paris" sometime and see Nelson dancing down a Paris street in one number. It's a masterpiece of dancing skill, athletics, and timing. Nelson is my favorite of all of them. He had it all; grace, athleticism, rhythm, musicality, ballet training, gymnastics training, ice skating training...and it all showed. Kelly is my second favorite, but even he doesn't have quite what Nelson had. Nelson started ice skating in films with Sonia Henie, but he was never a competition figure skater. His father gave him his first gymnastics training. When Nelson decided he needed ballet training, he found a good teacher. I think the ballet and ice skating training gave him that elegance and grace that nobody could quite match. In fact he was a wonderful all around athlete...and what a dancer!
Loved Gene since I saw him in the musical Oklahoma . Fabulous dancer and actor .
He was terrific, and a charming actor too - but he was ordinary, and there were others with more charisma. He was terrific in the original Follies on Broadway, but Gene Kelly for all his phony, smirking self importance was much more exciting to watch. He just looked better dancing. More compact.
The color in this has really held up well I'm amazed
Technicolor. Three strip dye transfer. It's never been better than this process. The Americans sold it to the Japanese. Go figure.
Que piernaslas de laseñora,,que voz,que espectacular figura!!,en esa epoca no había Lycra,no había botox, no tampoco foto shop,,que maravilla puro arte
Ver Trío Ladies 💙💚💛
すごいダンス！見るだけで元気になれちゃう！
Oh man. I know that this is much earlier, but when he jumped off of that drum, all I could see was Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.
Get your eyes examined, or titrate your meds, love.
@JessicaTryingToFarm Here's Swayze in that scene in Dirty Dancing. Note that not only does he do the leap off the stage, but also the final spin and drop to one knee that Nelson does around 3:54 in the Crazy Rhythm video. Start watching Swayze around 3:42. I think it highly likely that Nelson was an influence on Swayze. They both also had ballet training. czcams.com/video/CQ2lUog6jZ0/video.html
The guy in white doing the solo...waow!
Gene Nelson. If you like that you might like czcams.com/video/266TsW1QWCE/video.html and czcams.com/video/VRuoaXDRFMU/video.html He later suffered a fractured pelvis in 1957 when a horse fell on him while on film location in Tennessee. after that he went more into directing and producing.
Patrice Wymore was very talented. A “triple threat” as they call it. She could dance, sing, act. What gorgeous gams she had.
Alluring, elegant, intelligent, what a mover.
Thanks, I wondered who the amazing dancers were.
Yeah...Gene Nelson was no slouch, either.
@@Appleita he was wonderful!
@@MrRichiekaye I always had 5 favorite male dancers (not including the ballet stars.) They are Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Gene Nelson, Gower Champion and the incredible Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! I don't care who else was in the movie...if one of them was in it I couldn't get enough of them! (sigh) And now they're all gone.
0:32 - 1:46 - female dancer in high heels - simply unbelievable she did these moves in stiletto heels.
2:22 - Check out how the male dancer leaps up using the top of his feet to do that. Stunning!
3:17 - the male dancer is incredible! This is Olympic level gymnastics. Check out his turns in slow motion (set your speed to .25) and watch how he leaps in a twisting flip over each woman on the floor. Dead accuracy and the most amazing mid air twists! Spectacular.
Scene
Between 1:05 and 1:06 we can see the change to tapshoes with a strap across the foot. Still heels but significantly lower than the stilettos.
Gene Nelson always got second lead roles--like to Gordon MacCrae. czcams.com/video/VRuoaXDRFMU/video.html
@@rogerpropes7129 Thanks, I wondered who the amazing dancers were.
@Lass-in Angeles I just commented also on Gene Nelson leaping up using the tops of his feet. I cannot imagine having feet that flexible and being able to support my body weight on the tops of my feet. He started learning gymnastics when he was a kid (Check out the dance routine he did in a gymnasium. It's on CZcams). He was also a trained ballet dancer and ice skater. Those twisting flips you mentioned are ice skating moves. The tour en l'air (spin with both feet off the ground) is a move that ballet dancers do. Here's a ballet dancer executing the same move, but without the drop to the ground. /watch?v=ldNowhtB09E Nelson never got the recognition that Astaire and Kelly got, but I've always thought he was a better dancer than either one of them.
@@tamolyn5141 Agree with you 100%. Astaire never did such bold astonishing moves. He kept both feet on the ground and did tap routines. This was unbelievable!
Grandes, hermosas y profesionales producciones. Excelentes y talentosos actores. Lástima que ya se ha perdido ese bello género. Gracias por el vídeo.
gene nelson was a hell of a dancer. they don't make 'em like that anymore.
That’s the most beautiful peacock I’ve ever seen.
That was wonderful watching once again of this I saw in my younger days. Nothing like these now. Thanks. Blessings
I can only imagine how many hours a day they all worked
Just syncing all those drummers with the male dancer... it had to be perfect, and it was!
Muito criativos os musicais do passado !
Os dançarinos arrasavam ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌠🌷🍃
Very interesting remarks to Ethnic,I never thought of it,just enjoyed the talent.Until I read the remarks😳
Yes, Day and McCrae star in the movie. But it would have been nice if you'd credited the two solists in this video, namely Gene Nelson and Patrice Wymore.
C'était la perfection, 10/10,
Pas comme aujourd'hui, j ai passé des moments merveilleux à regarder ces films autrefois.👍👍👍👍🎩🎩🎩🎩
Vraiment merveilleux!
Gene Nelson is the male dancer who leaps up.
Gene Nelson? Was he part of The Nelson Brothers singing group?
@@trhansen3244 Assuming you're not making a joke, Gene Nelson was simply the best of all of the male Hollywood dancers. He came along a bit later than Kelly and Astaire, but he was every bit as good, and in my opinion, even better. He was more versatile, more athletic, more graceful, more elegant. He never got the recognition he deserved, but oh could he dance like nobody else. He was so light on his feet that sometimes you'd swear there were wires holding him up, but of course there weren't. Brilliant dancer! Also an actor, director, singer, choreographer, and scriptwriter.
I wish there was a full version of her singing the opening song.
YES! Me too!! I play it until she concludes and the music departs into this jungle theme - which is where I cut if off. Patrice is fantastic in her opening of this number.
Doesn't anyone remember Gene Nelson? He was very good, much better than Patrice, but surprisingly not mentioned in any of these previous comments. Doris wanted him to choreograph APRIL IN PARIS, but Warners wouldn't let him. He should not be forgotten.
He was mentioned by several people. It is sad he didn't get the respect and fame he deserved he was an amazing and athletic dancer. He used to ice skate and you see the move he does leaping over the ladies on the stage. It is so sad several of the very good dancers were never given the fame they deserved if you watch a lot of the movies from the 40s and 50s you will see some fantastic dance numbers that some never even received recognition for them. I'm glad you mentioned Gene Nelson.
@@suzannejensen275 I think Gene Nelson was the best of the best, a spectacular dancer. That number in a gym from She's Working Her Way Through College is incredible, a blurring of the line between dance and gymnastics. The dance in a Paris street and then in an apartment in So This is Paris is pretty incredible too, among others. He had Astaire's grace and Kelly's athleticism and ballet training, and for my money, danced better than either one of them or any of the others for that matter. I wish he had gotten the respect and the fame that he truly deserved.
Amazing ! Just perfection💫
You can forget ever seeing anything like this on film again.
The Ethnic Themes ALONE would start riots.
As they rightfully should. Cultural misappropriation, racial sterotyping, and women ruining their feet dancing in stiletto heels. But nothing detracts from the talent on stage. Superb!
@@lass-inangeles7564 No they SHOULD NOT!!
All Cultures....ALL CULTURES ARE SHARED! The only test For someone or something that uses other cultures Material is whether on not RESPECT IS PROPERLY SHOWN by the user.
That is it.
Do you Know how Similar the Traditional cultural dress of Hungarian woman and Yemeni Jewish people are?! and how Similar THEY are to Traditional Indian Cultural clothing?
I'm stretching a bit here i know but the point stands. I will not be Denied the right to wear a Fundoshi DAMMIT!
.......................wait...........What mean is...NEVERMIND.
@@pacershark452 I think we are actually on the same page Sharkey. I agree with you that all cultures are shared. And we enjoy dipping into other cultures and enjoying their food, clothing, religions, habits, mannerisms, literature, dance and the arts, science discoveries, etc. We are one human race.
Having lived in LA, however, and having seen Hollywood manufacture movies where they desecrate other cultures in trivially disrespecting or seriously damaging perceptions of that culture I make my earlier point. In the opera Lakme, Lily Pons is shown wearing a Balinese dancer's hat. She is supposed to be a South Indian Brahmin priests daughter. Indians don't wear those hats and any woman wearing such an item would not be Indian or horse whipped, esp in that era in India. This was disrespectful to Indians, and Balinese people but still a trivial issue. A deeper issue was the portrayal of Native Americans in Westerns, always the bad guys, the ones who were dumb and were children to be supervised and led. Imagine how you would feel as a Native American to be portrayed like that.
No self respecting museum would condone the mish mash of costume styles, and no historian would forgive the melding of different cultural dance and behavior that is shown in this movie clip. Not to mention that only whites were hired for most non-white roles in movies historically and even in the present age.
Wear a Fundoshi or Sari, or Toga, or Sarong, or Salwar Kameez by all means. But if you wear what is supposed to be a Salwar Kameez, a modest Indian outfit, to an Indian music festival, attended by a majority of Indians, and you make it look like a sexy provocative outfit with no leggings, long slits up the thighs, deep neckline revealing too much, etc, expect the Indians to feel insulted. Ditto if you take this outfit that is quintessentially Indian, reinvent it to be very revealing and put it in a fashion show, as was the case recently in the news. You cannot offend the people who 'own' that outfit. That is my point.
@@lass-inangeles7564 I agree with everything you have said.
I'm sure we can ALL agree that we DO NOT ever need to see Johnny depp attempt to portray an Ethnic group of ANY kind ever again............Not even southern Italians.
@@pacershark452 Ha, ha,ha! Agreed, Sharkey!
Patrice's costume is a knock out!
Oh beautiful, clasick dance💃, I always love to watch 👌👏👍🇮🇳
Me encanta, el baile o la coregrafía me fascinaron
this was hilarious,An then had the nerve to call it rhythm 😂
It's beautiful, isn't it? Love this period in America. People who had real talent.
And on THAT note: Happy (actual) COLUMBUS DAY - Oct. 12 ~~~!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
fantastico y emocinante y bello.............
Enchanting!
The origin of modern dance. Beats any break dancing done today. It was terrific how he did cartwheels over the women without hands!
Thats literally a move bboys do tho...
@@TahtahmesDiary It's also an ice skating move. Nelson was a trained ice skater.
Carol Haney and other MGM dancers were in this movie too.
Великолепно!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like old dancer
maravilloso...............................esto es arte totallllllllllllllllllllllllll
Love it.
That git-up though...bunny rabbit-ish...strangeness lol
02:59 - that's really interesting, I've never seen that prior t around 2000.
It's partly an ice skating move. Nelson was also an ice skater.
Nice pins !
After Astaire and Kelly there was not much place for others....o,Connor...Nelson...bobby van..bob fosse. Very underated
What about Eleanor Powell? I have yet to see a better female dancer. I think she outdanced Astaire in the one movie they did together.
Gene Nelson choreographed his scene with Miriam Nelson, first of his five wives. You can see influence of Jack Cole in his athletic moves and stunts such as landing on his knees; also note Wymore's fluttering 'jazz hands' early in the number. I feel Bob Fosse was given too much credit for stylistic changes in the 1950s which were already seeping into musicals.
The main dance directors on 'Tea for Two', though, were the seldom-inspired brothers, Eddie and LeRoy Prinz, who had been around for 20 years- Eddie helped out on Fred Astaire's risible first screen cameo in 'Dancing Lady'.
This number can be compared with Fred's and Jane Powell's contemporaneous 'I Left My Hat in Haiti' from 'Royal Wedding'. Both could be called examples of the post-Miranda school. Enjoyable romps, but for class and style neither compares with Fred's 'Coffee Time' in 'Yolanda and the Thief'.
People here are bracketing Nelson as underrated and up there with Kelly. But he had none of Kelly's star quality and character in a dance, while Kelly was fairly a genius of filmed choreography, and sometimes even of film making (with Donen).
@@bryanleigh6497 I reckon that Nelson could have turned out fine musicals if he had been born a few years earlier, in time to catch the high tide. He later demonstrated that he was an efficient director.
@@bryanleigh6497 Gene Nelson never really had a chance to show what he could do as he came along just before musicals were being phased out. Also, he didn't get to work with really great choreographers like Jack Cole and Hermes Pan, who were not at Warner's, where Nelson was under contract. Kelly was at MGM, which poured a lot more money into musicals and did bigger production numbers. I've always thought that Nelson was a better dancer than Kelly. He was more versatile, more elegant, and when he danced he was so graceful and light on his feet that you'd sometimes think you should look for wires holding him up...but of course there were none. Kelly was always firmly planted on the ground and you could see the effort he put into his dancing. Nelson made it all look effortless.
She makes the number.............................
Super!!!
THATS PATRICE WYMORE DOING HER OWN SINGING AND DANCING...NEXT TO LAST MRS. EROLL FLYNN
Patrice Whymore and Gene Nelson.Right.Hate it when u do not give cred for the artists, when u pic up a clip.
Gene Nelson was the best! Sadly he always played second string to the male singers who always got the girls.
Awesome! 💕💖
Damn. What IS it with dancers named Gene?!!
Magnifique elle est en plus belle
PATRICE WYMORE NEVER RECEIVED ANY PRAISE BUT SHE COULD SING...DANCE AND ACT...SAD...SHE WAS ERROL FLYN'S WIFE FOR A FEW TOUGH YEARS...BET THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE...
Seems odd anyone would MARRY Flynn! I mean what could possibly go wrong? 😃
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
L'actrice et danseuse se nomme: Patrice Wymore.
All those beautiful women. All those cozy casting couches.
who is the singer/dancer. She is very good.
Patrice Wymore
@Botch No wonder she's so flexible....
Watch how her shoes magically change when the 4 guys come in. Unnecessary. She could have worn the same shoes for the opening of the number.
they do
@@califdad4 When she opens the number she is wearing shoes with the sides cut out. Betty Grable always wore these insisting that they made her legs look longer.
@@echocheck Wow good eye! Who knows why they chose to change, maybe she has something else to do. She's right the first pair make her legs look longer for sure!
@@TahtahmesDiary I was a theatrical costume designer for 40 years and one of my jobs was to watch the show in dress rehearsals to make sure everything was perfect. Those shoes stood out a mile for me.
Who's the male dancer in white? He's extraordinary.
Nordisk Katt I believe it’s Gene Nelson.
Gene Nelson didn't get the respect and fame he deserved. He was an amazing dancer and very athletic that was a ice skater and you see the way he goes over the top of the ladies on the stage is a move used by skaters. The jump off the drum was repeated by Patrick Swayze in the movie "Dirty Dancing". There sure was a mix of multiple different dancing in that number.
@@suzannejensen275 Nelson has always been my favorite of all of the movie dancers of the time period from the 1930s up into the 1950s. He could do it all.
@@suzannejensen275 Not only the jump off the drum, but that final standing spin (tour en l'air and drop to one knee). Swayze did all of this in the final Time of My Life dance routine with Jennifer Grey. I'm pretty sure Nelson was one of Swayze's influences. Interestingly, both Nelson and Swayze had ballet training.
Nice!
How on Earth does he get back up from kneeling...rising up on the tops of his feet? (at 2:30 to 2:31)? Feet just don't bend like that.
Wires...maybe? Or it was magic🤷♀️
@@kunoichihawaii146 No wires or other cinematic magic. You can see him literally lift himself up on the tops of his feet. Wires would have lifted him straight up.
The singer is Patrice Wymore
Thank you, John, for the information. It's very ashaming the Warner doesn't give her the credit. It should be in public domain every piece of art which the owners, that don't dance, don't sing and probably didn't watch this film, don't have any respect for the artist who made it. It belongs to everyone who cares about who are the artists and what have they done.
Third wife of Errol Flynn! 🐨
Wow🤩
🤣🤣🤣
Le danseur aussi est superbe son nom mystère
Son nom est Gene Nelson.
Que energia hem?
Le danseur est aussi extra
Happy to see the Reds enjoying their self again! Yes, hope gives wings!you were right all along! Get away of these bottles and go out enjoy the sun again.Nothing to worry about inchallah, no matter what, it will be all RIGHT😊
Who are the leading dancers in Crazy Rythm
Patrice Wymore and Gene Nelson
I can see where Jessica Rabbit came from..
LOL. I'm not bad I'm just drawn that way. 🐰😁
Ver trío LADIES 💙💚💛
А через 6 лет в СССР сняли Карнавальную ночь. По превьюшке показалось, что это она.
Who's that handsome great dancer in white?
Gene Nelson who didn't get the respect and recognition he deserved. He was a very talented and athletic dancer. He was an ice skater an you can see that in the leap he used over the ladies on the stage. He was injured during filming with a horse and it fell on him and injured him to where he could no longer dance. He ended up becoming a director.
@@suzannejensen275 Thank you for your comment. I didn't know that. He was indeed an amazing dancer, very handsome and virile.
@@suzannejensen275 I've read that he said that it wasn't the horse falling on him that caused him to turn to directing, but rather that movie musicals were coming to an end by the 1960s. Also, the injury I believe took place around 1957-58. There's a video of him dancing with ballerina, Allegra Kent, in 1962, and he obviously could still dance and was still quite athletic. In addition, he danced in the Broadway show, "Follies", in 1971. He could still do that incredible move he did in this video, leaping over the ladies. It's a move you see ice skaters doing, and he did that in "Follies", following it with dropping down onto one knee...not something you can do well unless you're a very good dancer in really good shape.
@@suzannejensen275 Thank you! Finally someone else who recognizes that the leaps over the ladies on the stage comes from ice skating. I recognized the origin of that move the first time I saw Nelson do it. Incidentally, Tam Olyn below is right. There are numerous clips of Nelson dancing after the 1957 horseback riding accident. The clip of "The Right Girl" from Follies wears me out just watching it because he still had such incredible energy. He was 51 at the time.
i would call this New Age
Anyone find the teabags ?
❤
😍😍
Naturally beautiful and none of them was fat
So where's the teapot?
Merci d avoir mis le nom de la danseuse
Great dancers. Who are the leads?
Patrice Wymore and Gene Nelson.
What a shame they didn't shoot it properly, in long takes. Cut to bits. Learnt nothing from a dozen Fred & Ginger movies, Gene Kelly, ...
Might be due to the small stage but I have seen Fred Astaire dancing in a smaller area.
It's not particularly small, and anyway why would a small stage force you to cut it? It's just director-itis.
Well...well...
Pity Patrice Wymore capsized her career by marrying Flynn. But she kept his memory green, tended his beloved estate in Jamaica, earned a living in stock and lived to be 87. She deserved the afterglow of his success more than the jailbait he was running around with when he died,
Patrice Wymore’s singing voice sounds very different here to her soprano voice in “King’s Rhapsody”.Was either of them dubbed ?
Wow, gorgeous legs!
Who is the actress dancing and singing?
Patrice Wymore, she was married to Errol Flynn -- his last wife.
@@arcturianstarport8949 thank you!!!
What a glorious woman!! Nothing like her today; all plastic surgery, implants and tattoos.
Why don't they make movies, music, and women like this anymore?
Short answer? Liberals.

Que es eso? Mambo cruzado con ballet swing y tap? Jaja🤣
歌無かったら、バンザイしそうな曲w
are there any people with figures and moves like this anymore?....male or female? nearly everyone is over weight and sluggish.
