Name That Film

From the Name That Film Flickr site:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/rattlingdjs/16491122093/in/photostream/

Looks familiar, but I can't place it.  The publisher of the site doesn't know either. Some other vidcaps are shown at the site.  If anyone knows, please post at Cancan Dancing.

If this is something new, it would definitely be worth a look at the film.
