There is no cancan in this short film from 1944, but it features the real "The One and Only Phyllis Dixey" (played by Leslie Anne Down in the 1978 television film, in which she does a cancan). It also shows Phyllis in a teasing scene wrapped in a towel and some scenes at the Windmill Theatre, including some showgirls and some "lassies" prancing around in very short kilts.
This is another of the British Pathe films, and it can be seen in a very clear print at:
