the clip is from the 1938 Musical Comedy film Radio City Revels by RKO Radio Pictures.
Directed by Benjamin Stoloff and screen play by Eddie Davis, Matt Brooks, Anthony Veiller and Mortimer Offner.
The film stars were Bob Burns, Jack Oakie, Kenny Baker, Milton Berle and young Ann Miller (15 years old)
Ann Miller stared in some forty motion pictures and Broadway shows, plus national tours and innumerable television appearances, Miller started tap dancing in her early childhood years. At the age of 13 Miller was hired as a dancer at theĀ Black Cat Club in San Francisco – claiming she was18.
Lucille Ball and talent scout/comic Benny Rubin discovered her at that club. This led Miller in 1936 to be given a contract with RKO at the age of 13 – Also claiming she was 18 – and she remained with RKO until 1940. Miller was offered a contract at Columbia Pictures in 1941. Her major break – starting in the late 1940s and Early 1950s – came in her roles in MGM musicals such as Kiss Me Kate, Easter Parade, and On the Town.
Sit Back and Enjoy… Listen to the Clarity and Musicality of her tap dancing.
