	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Hermes Pan (choreographer)
		Hermes Pan (December 10, 1909 – September 19, 1990) was an American dancer and choreographer, principally celebrated as Fred Astaire's choreographic collaborator on the famous 1930s movie musicals starring Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
		Pan was born Hermes Pangiotopolous in Nashville, Tennessee, of Greek and Irish extraction.
		Pan continued to collaborate with Astaire right up until the latter's last musical picture, Finian's Rainbow (1968), which was a disaster on a number of fronts, not least for Pan himself.

		Pan appeared onscreen as Betty Grable's partner in Moon Over Miami (1942), and was later paired with Rita Hayworth in My Gal Sal (1942); in both instances, Pan was exclusively a dancer, with nary a line of dialogue nor a character name.
		Long after his retirement, Hermes Pan continued to be honored by a grateful industry: he received the National Film Award in 1980 and a special trophy from the Joffrey ballet in 1986.

	Hermes Pan - Films as choreographer:
		Hermes Pan began his career as a Broadway dancer and stayed in New York for three years.
		Pan became dance director on all of Astaire's films and choreographed nine of the 10 films pairing Astaire with Ginger Rogers—Roberta, Top Hat, Follow the Fleet, The Barkleys of Broadway are amongst the best remembered.
		Together with Astaire, Hermes Pan changed the face of the screen musical, dispensing with the accepted practice of frequent cutting during numbers, and creating routines so meticulously for the camera that the dances give an impression of being filmed in a continuous take.

	A Damsel in Distress
		Pan composed a dance with Fontaine's limitations in mind, and coached her; and the reader may recall that Astaire was a master at making his partners look good: one recalls Paulette Goddard in Second Chorus, Red Skelton in Three Little Words, Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn and Blue Skies, and in Royal Wedding--a hatrack!
		Hermes Pan was a brilliant young Greek dancer and choreographer from Tennessee whose name was actually Panagiotopoulos, which he found unwieldy in the world of show business.
		But she had studied ballet as a girl, and Fred and Hermes Pan believed they could fashion a duet or two with her modest talent.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- KISS ME KATE
		Because KISS ME KATE is a show within a show and primarily stage bound, there was a potential for the action to stagnate.
		However, director George Sidney and choreographer Hermes Pan invigorated the MGM adaptation of KISS ME KATE with lively staging- some of which was intended for the film’s intended 3D showings.
		Speaking of dancing, Hermes Pan’s choreography is uniformly excellent; plus for the film’s finale Pan allowed featured dancers Tommy Rall, Bobby Van and the legendary Bob Fosse to devise their own routines to showcase their particular dancing styles.

		I never met Larri Thomas but I know she was a Goldwyn Girl...one of the dancers in the 1955 movie of Guys and Dolls, in fact.
		Later, she was a favorite of the great choreographer Hermes Pan, who used her in the acclaimed Fred Astaire TV specials.
		And a friend tells me — and I swear this is a coincidence; I was going to write about this before I was aware of the possible connection — she's the woman who played Miss Clinger in the Allan Sherman clip I linked to this morning.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Follow the Fleet
		The idea (apparently) is that Fred and Ginger watch a couple’s routine and set out to top them.
		However, the couples, amateur dancers recruited by choreographer Hermes Pan, were not actually on the set with Fred and Ginger.
		The cutting back and forth between the amateurs and the stars is a little clumsy, and tends to fragment the dance.

		To some extent there is no need to disaggregate the films, and without a notebook it’s impossible to distinguish the stories.
		Director Marc Sandrich, choreographer Hermes Pan, costume designer Bernard Newman, and a stock set of support players create a consistent universe throughout the films, and it’s more rewarding to view the series episodically than comparatively.
		But if people can have a favorite episode of Three’s Company, I’m entitled to a favorite Astaire/Rogers movie.
