You Had Me At Nina Mae McKinney And The Nicholas Brothers

There are some other acts in this variety show short which hangs its hook on the story that this is a broadcast on the Black Network -- a play on the fact that at the time NBC had two radio networks, the Red and the Blue; the latter became ABC.

None of which matters in the least to me, because this feature the great singer Nina Mae McKinney, and even more because it has Harold and Fayard Nicholas. The Nicholas Brothers were probbaly the greatest two-act in tapdancing. They're so good that when you watch THE PIRATE, where they perform with Gene Kelly, they steal the movie from him..... and he doesn't care. Don't waste my time with anything else.... let 'em dance!
