And getting the cane BACK IN THE CONTAINER! It had to work, or the magic of the whole piece collapsed. I wonder how many takes it took to make that happen?

Fred was known for being a crazy perfectionist, practicing with Ginger Rogers until their feet bled, etc. To make that cane trick look effortless I’m sure took a ton of work. That’s the beauty of it.
