Tomorrow, the video.

Bel Ami 1939

There is now a full copy of the German film Bel Ami from 1940 available on You Tube.  The lead cancan dancer is Lizzi Waldmuller. The quality is not good, but it is the best that is currently available.  It is too large a file to post here, but you can see it at:

Bel Ami - German - 1939

Heretofore there was no You Tube video of the 1939 German film "Bel Ami" that featured Lizzi Waldmuller as a cancan dancer, and the above still was the best available image from the performance. 

That void has now been filled with this posting of the full movie:

(the cancan appears intermittently from 51:20 until about 57:00)

You might want to look quickly.  I don't know how long this will remain posted at You Tube.
