Star-Spangled Revue (Bob Hope) with Condos and Brandow Condos and Brandow performer Hope, Bob performer Condos, Steve performer Brandow, Jerry performer Television/Video 1950-05-27 Musical comedy revue show hosted by Bob Hope and featuring Frank Sinatra, Beatrice Lillie, with a brief appearance by Milton Berle. Choreography by Michael Kidd. A very fine routine despite that fact that Condos is without his brother Nick and Jerry Brandow placed to the right of Steve is too large in proportion to him: slips, slides, superb dancers; though you cannot hear the taps clearly because the television orchestra is too loud and overpowering; their technique, however, is flawless. An up-tempo duet opens their acts; then Brandow on piano accompanies Steve who circles, and straddles with rapid-fired close to the floor taps that lay down a show of sound, and fat; at one point, Condos taps note for note what Brandow is playing on piano. Condos then moves to the piano and accompanies Brandow who pulls out a tiny staircase to do a miniature stair dance: the small size of the steps make for an even more precise stepping up and down the stairs and Brandow does an excellent job. The dancing team of Condos and Brandow performs a tap routine and Hope joins them in a tap dance to "How High the Moon." Hope is a hoofer, very skilled.
