Virginia City II

Miriam Hopkins in full cancan mode in "Virginia City" in the second musical number.   Sweet, but very short.

Miriam Hopkins - Virginia City

Miriam Hopkins does a brief cancan in Virginia City, the 1940 film also starring Errol Flynn, Randolph Scott and Humphrey Bogart.  It is shown in the first set of photos above and in the first video (at about 1:00).  I've always liked the element of her routine where she is peeking over the top of the raised skirt with a mischievous look.  The cancan is all too short - not very much longer than what is shown in theTrailer.

There is a second dance routine in the film, shown in the second and third photos and the second video, but it barely qualifies as a cancan.

The photos and poster are from The Blonde at the Film blog:

Miriam Hopkins

This is from an earlier scene in "Virginia City", but Miriam does a very short but nice nice little cancan later in the show, as illustrated in these prior posts:.
