In the Tap! Appendix for FA, GM & EP, of course.

The only pairing of FA & EP. The last Broadway Melody of 4, all but the original starring EP. Serviceable plot (synopsis should say 'owe' instead of 'lent'); appropriate that no other genre has been applied.

A bonanza of dancing (8 numbers): 

• Ch 3, FA & GM: Please Don't Monkey with Broadway 
• Ch 5, EP solo: All Ashore [called I Am the Captain on the dvd menu]
• Ch 11, EP & GM: Between You and Me  
• Ch 17, FA solo: I've Got My Eye on You [Eyes plural on dvd menu] 
• Ch 18, EP & FA: Jukebox Dance 
• Ch 21, EP ballet solo, then EP & FA: I Concentrate on You 
• Ch 24-5, EP & FA: Begin the Beguine 
• Ch 26 of 26, EP, FA & GM: I've Got My Eye[s] on You 

GM looked least comfortable when moving slowly in dance with EP (it was NOT a tap number), but had comfort/confidence with big fast movement, and when tapping.
