Eleanor Powell–Honolulu

For our next example of Eleanor Powell’s dancing ability, we are going to publish two posts in a row, one about an hour after the other. Further, we are going to stray from Alfred Newman for the next three posts.

In the movie, Honolulu (1939), Eleanor is teamed up with another Robert, this time, Robert Young. We are going to provide you with the movie trailer first, so that you can get an idea of the plot and of the hula dance numbers in the movie. In the second post, you will see the full hula tap dance.
