Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth found an instant rhythm on YOU’LL NEVER GET RICH (1941). Astaire later named her among his favorite dance partners, praising how quickly she mastered his demanding choreography and matched his precision step for step.

“Pass That Peace Pipe” from Good News (1947) is still one of the most electrifying dance ensemble numbers ever put on film - and yet so few people today remember its striking soloist, Joan McCracken.
McCracken was a phenomenal acrobatic dancer, trained to be a ballerina by George Balanchine in the 1930s.
She became a Broadway sensation in Oklahoma! with her comic “fall” in the number, “Many a New Day.” She brought astonishing athleticism, musicality and wit to every performance.
She also helped change Broadway history: McCracken encouraged a young Bob Fosse (as her lover and later second husband) and helped open the door for his choreographing career in New York.
A brilliant talent, largely forgotten now (she has only two film credits) - gone far too soon, dying from complications of diabetes at only 43.

Watched "Superman: The Magnetic Telescope (1942)."
It’s genuinely incredible how well the Fleischer aesthetic holds up 80 years later.
Lights falling off the comet and hitting the streets is a masterclass in hand-drawn cinematography.
Honourable mention: the Rotoscoping. Gives Supes a fluid motion,a tangible presence in the frame, you can feel the momentum when he flies.
