George Sidney, a hit-or-miss filmmaker, outdid himself with his sterling 1953 adaptation of Cole Porter's "Kiss Me, Kate.” A film of many musical highlights, "Kate" offered up one in particular that deserves to be called classic - the twirling, spinning "From This Moment On" number.Sublime.
The number: “From This Moment On”
The composer: Cole Porter
The singers: Tommy Rall, Bobby Van and Bob Fosse
The choreographers: Hermès Pan, with Bob Fosse (uncredited)
The dancers: Ann Miller, Carol Haney, Jeanne Coyne, Fosse, Rall and Van
The cinematographer: Charles Rosher
The film editor: Ralph E. Winters
The production designers: Cedric Gibbons and Urie McCleary
One of my favorite numbers from one of my favorite movies.
