Turner Classic Movies will honor the recent passing of one of Hollywood’s greatest dancing stars, Cyd Charisse, by devoting its June 27th evening schedule to showcase three of her films.<\/p>\n
At 8pm, TCM will present Singin’ in the Rain<\/strong> (1952), featuring one of the most brilliant musical numbers ever filmed. As soon as her outstretched leg caught Gene Kelly’s eye in the Broadway Melody<\/em> sequence, you knew something magical was going to happen. Following this TCM will continue the magic by highlighting two of Charisse’s famous pairings with Fred Astaire, The Band Wagon<\/strong> (1953) at 10pm and Silk Stockings<\/strong> (1957) at midnight. Time seems to stand still as they glide across screen in a combination of poise and explosiveness.<\/p>\n To quote our boss, FilmBuffOnline head honcho Rich Drees, “Stuff like this is one of the reasons why I think movie fans should treasure Turner Classic Movies.” So take our word, allow yourself to become entranced in a complete mesmerizing experience of legs, grace, elegance and talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
