My personal favorite was Marjorie Reynolds, she of the Mr. Wong B flicks (which I also consider underrated.) This dance sequence was a restoration project of the film folks in a NYC museum -- and so has become a teaching tool for would-be editors, i.e., can you spot the cuts, not counting the obvious costume changes?!<br /><br />And I'll put Donald O'Connor up against Fred and Gene in ANY category of performing: dancing, singing, and acting.

When I took ballet, our teacher wanted us to be able to hear the beat in the music, so we learned a routine, and she played different kinds of music so we could dance to the beat.
