A nice classic cancan from the Czech film, "Parohy". This was made available by You Tube member playoldmovies, who posted a wonderful collection of Czech films. Sadly, her postings are no longer available there. The cancan is toward the end.

Video Added

I added a video I had downloaded from You Tube (or actually Kick You Tube since it was in MP4 format). It's a personal favorite and in my book a classic. By the way, the video is available on DVD if you look around on the Web. It has a somewhat longer sequence and the resolution is much better.

Barbebleu

Consuelo Villareal dances the cancan

From the Mexican film, "¡Ay qué tiempos señor Don Simón!".

Thanks go to Kaliman41who originally posted this at You Tube.

A definite Classic.

In the Classic Style

Oh My!!!!

Photos that are of more recent vintage than those presented here, but which are in the style of the classic pictures. Black and white, of course.
