Fred Astaire & Cyd Charisse in The Band Wagon The outstanding Girl Hunt dance sequence (watch it here & here) choreographed by Michael Kidd (Michael Kidd! Michael Kidd! Michael Kidd!) inspired Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal video & Beyonce’s Naughty Girl video. Just tonight I realized the line Fred says about Cyd: “She was bad, she was dangerous…” is quoted in Michael Jackson’s song Dangerous: “The girl was bad, the girl was dangerous.” Fantastic! Also, this line is perfect: “She came at me in sections, more curves than a scenic railway.”
