    @waynebrasler what a wonderful dancing pair.Only if there were no everlasting interruptions(buffering), could watch videos forever.

    Really enjoyable, fun and sweet. Hooray for Hollywood!

    Martha had everything: Voice, style, looks, grace. Everyone who worked with her loved her. Astaire loved working with Hayworth; it’s mostly forgotten today she began as a dancer with her famous father. Hollywood loved her but she had a very messy life sadly.

    Thanks for posting these wonderful (Rockin’) videos of Martha Tilton. You have shown me what real entertainers are (were) all about. Her films are all worth watching even when she only does one song; the Soundies are the BEST.
    Thanks again !

    There were lots of marriages during World War II. Most were not as fun or spectacular as this one, however.

    No mere wedding cake for Fred and Rita – instead, there’s a gigantic wedding tank.
