Abstract

In 'Shall We Dance', Fred Astaire performs a virtuoso dance in a ship's engine room, in front of an impressed group of African-American workers. This video takes Astaire out of the picture, replacing him with an array of performers who were denied the Hollywood spotlight... This video was included in Sight and Sound's 2020 best video essay poll.
