Caleen Calder in "The Half-Breed"

Another publicity photo from the 1951 film, "The Half-Breed".  This is Caleen Calder, who is one of the dancers in the film.

This great image is available on EBay from sfxarchive.  The auction is at:

However, there appears to be some deceptive advertising going on here.  I skimmed the film using the You Tube preview feature, and didn't see a cancan.  There is a musical number at about 9:45.  Perhaps it got left on the cutting room floor or this is an edited version of the film.  If someone else can find it in the film, please let me know.

Here's another image from a German film magazine that confirms it was promoted as having a cancan:

This indicates it is from The Half-Breed, a 1952 film, and the cast list for that film credits several cancan dancers - Caleen Calder, Marietta Elliott, Shelah Hackett, Betty Leonard, Mary Menzies, and Shirley Whitney:

The costumes are just like the one in this famous photo, so it must also be from The Half-Breed or the costumes were re-purposed:
