Beautiful But Dangerous
Gina Lollobrigida takes a turn at a sort of cancan in Beautiful But Dangerous from 1955 (original title: "La donna più bella del mondo (Lina Cavalieri)"). Don't expect too much in the way of skilled dancing, but Lollo is a sight to behold
The image is from the musicbabes Tumblr blog:
