The Merry Melodies Short ‘Hollywood Steps Out’ Featured All Of These Classic Stars

Three Stooges, Curly, Larry and Moe are also feeling the rhythm as they poke and smack each other in keeping with the beat.

Oliver Hardy is seen dancing with his back to the camera, but turns to reveal he’s dancing with two ladies. Lucky guy!

Cesar Romero and Rita Hayworth are dancing awkwardly together with legs akimbo. Both Cesar and Rita were well known for their dancing and each performed dance sequences in their films.


Mickey Rooney is having dinner with Judy Garland, who was his girlfriend in the Andy Hardy film series, in which his character often found himself in trouble. Apparently, he had not seen the sign out front, as he’s surprised by the dinner bill.

He turns to Lewis Stone, who played his father in the Andy Hardy movies, to ask for help.

Looks like unhappy Dad couldn’t foot the bill for Andy and Judy‘s dinner and they end up washing piles of dishes to the conga rhythm.

Bing comes out to introduce the next act, which is Sally Rand‘s famous balloon bubble dance that makes most of the male patrons go a little bonkers.
