Question
I had watched only one part of this movie, so im not sure if you can help. its a black and white film and the only part i had seen featured 2 guys and a girl(i think) doing an awesome/trippy dance number at a carnival or something in front of funhouse mirrors and stuff. it was pretty sweet and it has been stuck in my head for over a year now and would like to see the entire movie. thanks... :)

Answer
Hi Sally,

Hope that this may be the film you're looking for.  It's the 1937 RKO musical, "Damsel in Distress" starring Fred Astaire, and the wonderful comedy husband-and-wife team, George Burns and Gracie Allen.

In the film, the three of them do a terrific "fun house" number, singing the George Gershwin song " Stiff Upper Lip."

It's available at www.amazon.com.

There are also "fun house " numbers in 1945's "Tars and Spars", and MGM's "Hit the Deck".

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
