Editorial Reviews

The extraordinary lives of Harold and Fayard Nicholas, the dancers who were the equals of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, but who never got the credit they deserved because they were African-American. Film clips of some of their greatest performances showcase their remarkable talents.

This review is from: Biography - Nicholas Brothers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great retrospective of the Career of the fabulous Nicholas Brothers. It has scenes from many of their movies and interviews with both of them. A great documentary!

This review is from: Biography - Nicholas Brothers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this on PBS years ago. It opened my eyes to a whole new class of entertainment. I am a die hard DVD fan, but I am buying this on VHS (and hoping for DVD someday) because is is such a great documentary.

This review is from: Biography - Nicholas Brothers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Watching the Nicholas Brothers dance is a treat that must be experienced often. Juat when you think you have been dazzeled...here comes Harold or Fayard doing another twist or turn..

I remember the first time I saw these two in films...I couldnt believe me eyes..surely they were not human...for how could they fly through the air..? BY the end of their routines...you always want more...its intoxicating. Their twin geometry its seems like one says to the other..TOP THIS...and the other does,,,,and so it goes..A rare treat & unique talents..as was told to Astaire...holds for this dynamic duo..." We are dancing...they are doing something else" Matchless something else!
