Cyd Charisse in "Party Girl"

[djson1]

Wow..those legs...that face! Only Cyd Charisse!

[classics4life]

and this is her best dramatic performance...by far.

[DoomWambat]

woow

[chappellwestlake]

Thanks so much for sharing - just brilliant!!

[dani9714]

Cyd was really amazing! I think she's underrated, she was beautiful and I'd give anything to dance like she did. Great video :)

[parrotheadbum]

All woman!

[pimple22]

Nice pose @ 0.42 you get that sinking feeling you know what I mean.

[paolarockon1]

wao what a beautifull and talented woman ..

[jannahtwek]

Amazing!!!

[loz9453]

she will still have the best legs in history

[FuelledByForties]

It's from party girl 1957, with Cyd Charisse and Robert Taylor.

[MikiMaye]

What movie is this from?

[rockhammer85]

Cyd Charisse was a seriously beautiful, talented, sexy, sophisticated and vivacious woman.

[silverhourstarlight]

why the fuck is the next video suggested after this one with megan fox in it? cyd charisse is the epitome of classy sex appeal and talent, megan fox is a barbie/oompa loompa love child. get it right youtube.

[joliphantful]

As a red blooded male i can only say, wow.

[LMmccallL57]

Pure sass and class! Wow!

[annieiscool1000]

this would be lady gaga back then lol

[meowmixSF]

@annieiscool1000

PLEASE!  Lady G couldn't hold a candle to this classy dame.

[daeelly]

@annieiscool1000 Are you out of your mind woman?! Cyd is A DANCER and a first class LADY. Lady Gaga is a marketink product that isan't a dancer, singer or a performer. Would Fred or Gene dance with that thing?

[ScarletHarlotry]

She has the most amazing figure I have ever seen. Hollywood stick insects could learn a lot from Cyd.

[cinema20a60]

Cyd Charisse, ou la classe incarnée. Avec tant d'autres...

[jdpip]

Those are the greatest legs I've ever seen. Yowsers!

[LadaPear]

more sexy then videos today...today its not about singing or music its about nude and sex..but in this dance is sex but there is passion and you love it..

[sonata6100]

pure class. she makes stripping classy. how many people can do that

[FuelledByForties]

I know this is Cyd Charisse's moment and all, but... did you see Robert Taylor! <3

[MsJollycholly]

@FuelledByForties - fueled, my late mother used to tell me that back in his day, RT was THE MAN! Girls (like my mother as a young girl) would sit in theaters and SWOON when he appeared on screen. Sadly, there is are few if any real hearthrobs today (exception: George Clooney) but the rest are all made of silly putty and silicone, so there is no substance to them.

[FuelledByForties]

@MsJollycholly Thats so true, we sure need more Robert Taylor's around the place. I've never seen a man look so handsome before, especially in his 30s. When he began taking serious, sometimes dark roles, like Johnny Eager he was simply to die for!

[alexef88]

her feet!!!

[Cance251]

4 people prefer the female "celebrities" of today.

[Arialu]

god damn tremendous everything.

[gfks11]

WONDERFUL!!!!

[zincali]

@gfks11 Such a elegant and sexy mover,

thanks petal for sharing.

[gfks11]

@zincali

Agree...tree...;))

Bacio

[Tebibeawulf]

She's gorgeous. Limbs a mile long, and classy and elegant and ABSOLUTELY untouchable.

[TheKyg13]

No other woman can move like her......She's so amazing! RIP

[AriaBeauty]

I love old movies but i can't seem to find a website where they sell it. Does anyone know where i can buy some of these movies?tx

[bon1042]

@AriaBeauty You can find them on Ebay and Amazon. This one is called Party Girl with Robert Taylor.

[50zepher]

Cyd was just beautiful! thank God we can see and appreciate her through film! I had the opportunity to meet her briefly in the early 80's and she was so unassuming and sweet. She asked me if i was a dancer, and I said, "well, sort of!" In my eyes, I was not a dancer compared to her!!!!

[SweetieWee]

wow she's so fit and flexiable. she's awesome.

[RavenandKidFlash]

Wish I had legs like that.  Jesus!

[ScarlettEmpress]

Whoa. Seriously sexy. She looks no heavier than a feather. I swear she can float...

[elc1960]

xSNjfiddjjksksk Sorry folks, I just drooled all over my keyboard and my fingers slipped off the keys. Somebody PLEASE explain to the "dancers" of today that there's such a thing as subtlety in dancing, as well as in sex appeal. The lady could dance, and she could arouse a man quicker with one dance move than any exotic dancer of today could by taking off all her clothes and groping herself.

[TheBlackWhiteDog]

The best of BOTH worlds.

[EkseteraEksetera]

i am jealous of her dancing ability, but hey at least people say i have legs like hers.

[sanantoniosquare]

Compare Nicholas Ray's use of red with his use of red in Rebel Without A Cause.

[NunuInvincible829]

amazing i wish i can dance like that i want to learn ! i love cyd

[davewvu1]

Cyd Charisse. Now THIS was a lady who danced well into her 60's, performed in roles that didn't require the use of her great talent, and she remained hot well into her 80's. So sad to lose her last year. It's a shame talent and substance such as this don't exist today!

[nomusician]

that's where ballet comes in handy.

[gingerszabo21]

How did this NOT get banned back in the 50's?

[janestahl]

@gingerszabo21 Because the censors were too stupid to realize that dancing, as my Dad used to say, is "public foreplay".

[ilovalivia]

Hubba Hubba!

[jdfox1]

Love it! :)

[BegoneSatan]

Wow!!  Cyd was breathtaking, my favorite dancer!

[judyrusso]

Incredible legs. Cyd Charisse was one talented dancer. I don't think that there's any young dancer today that can come close to her.

[ANGELSVEN]

I'm sorry but Cid Charise is perfection!

[RavenandKidFlash]

God I wish I had legs like her. Hell, I wish I was as beautiful as her.

[MrGunterguerrero]

After watching that I'd say Cyd was pretty, sexy and talented. And Robert Taylor, in the movie didn't deserved her !

[ZOOSHA3]

Like Gene Kelly said....."Dynamite, pure Dynamite' . Was Ginger a beter dancer????I don't think so myself.

[inflxshn]

Wow, just wow. Why don't people dance anymore? That crap today? Hip hop 'dancing.' It's vulgar, suggestive but not seductive, awkward and downright nauseating. So people can make screwing motions, big deal. THIS is DANCING!

[scherif70]

spot on! Amen

[Rodrigoteacher]

Lucky Robert Taylor!!

[cloudidogz]

Cyd is a fabulous dancer...few today can match her. And she's classy and gorgeous too!

[carmenjones411]

Who do I have to kill for those legs!?

[scherif70]

sorry but none. there arent legs like that anymore, we truly must be cursed.

[carl13220]

I just watched this movie tonight . I didn't know about Cyd Charisse..She's amazing. And the movie's pretty good too if you like gangster movie.

[htrrz]

Cyd again proves that the real talent in the dance world is in the past, now all they can do is bop up and down, and expose themselves (does soemone like Mondonna really think she can dance?) thanks to those who care enough to post these momments see we can se them as we want. This is REAL talent and skill, and yes sexiness with beauty.

[scherif70]

i agree totally with u...if you look at her,cyd, along with gene kelly & fred astaire, these geniuses danced like gods would dance, they dance with such elegance & ease, & yet the choreography was difficult.

[htrrz]

Today TCM is showing Cyd's films a day long.

[28norman]

What great talent she had. Tony Martin was so fortunite in being with her for over 60 years, they both were the very best, its a shame that we dont have the same talent today.

[Exeunt26]

I'm really pleased to hear someone of religious views accept sexuality as part of the human soul.

[barneslx]

Cyd Charisse was the bomb. I used to watch her movies in awe when I was a child and I thought she was just amazing! She made the most difficult moves seem effortless. What a great dancer she was!

[howardyearone]

Was there ever a better show dancer than Cyd Charisse?

I don't think so...

[Truth614]

She's amazing! She didn't have to take off anything to be so sexy. Talk about class!

[JCPosey]

I agree. But there wasn't much left to take off!

[AlphaXQ]

what a WOMAN!!!!!

[issyvoo2]

It's nice to see people thinking a woman of some physical substance is sexy. She's slim and very fit but she is not the stick insect that passes for sexy these days. Nor are her chest or lips inflated to impossible proportions.

[sweetsun90]

@issyvoo2 Cyd Charisse is beautiful and sexy but don't be deluded into thinking she's not as thin as celebrities today. But please don't get me wrong. That doesn't make her any less stunning but the woman's tiny.

[ragnarb100]

@sweetsun90 5"7" isn't tiny, although she looks taller. It's those legs!!!!!

[MsJollycholly]

@issyvoo2 - I think we've all tired of the 'tits on a stick' look made so popular by the plastic surgeons of today. Cyd was all dancer - stems that never stopped. She could grind Bratney speerz in the ground with the slim heel one stilletto..........

[issyvoo2]

@MsJollycholly "Tits on a stick." That's funny and quite accurate. I'd never heard that one before. I think I'd add to that "tits and hair extensions on an orange stick."

[lucieblack]

oh ms charisse, you had the BEST pins ever. a truly va va va voom moment... waaaaaaaay more than monroe's billowing upskirt over the grate. fo sho

[joots47]

Cyd Charisse is absolutely mesmerizing when she dances...talk about sex appeal..WOah ho ho!

[OlfArts]

KNOCK ME OUT!!!!!

[pict7]

Holy smokes!  Some women just have "it."

[itsniknak1]

Cyd Charisse has to be the most sensuous dancers I've ever seen . I dont think Paula Abul had that much heat .

[monicafcy]

W O W....... (blank stare)

[gingerszabo21]

Wowza!

[joehop1505]

show them leggs girl rip

[bookkeeper57]

Duh-h: show tune from the 1950s with just the suggestion of striptease. They didn't take it "awf awf" until the 1960s.

I was alive then: just thought I'd let you

know.

[sickosandsuch]

Million dollar.

[mysarcasmhurts]

Des anyone know the name of the song playing?

[jsharp1701]

The number is called "Dancing Doll." Choreography by Robert Sidney.

[realcaramae]

Now put her next to one of the modern day models and tell me what is more beautiful. I'd vote for Cyd Charisse anytime. Saw some footage of her when older, and she was still a looker!

[mca1218]

The definition of the phrase "legs for days" is right here- pretty (and sexy) in pink.

[stylalina]

hey.. rivajane :D

please don't talk so about my relatives :)

joke

cyd charisse is one of a very very far relatives from me.

damn. my english isnt good

sorry

[bananacake18]

can u download the whole movie please..please..please

[RivaJane]

Fucking hell seriously, I think I just became a lesbian after watching that!

[Exeunt26]

Have you seen her in 'Singing In The Rain'? It'll melt your monitor!

[RivaJane]

HELL yeah! Love that green dress! :D

[nancydrew5]

Wow they make it look so effortless, I wonder how many rehearsals did it take for them to get it down where she didn't trip over that long train. She was a helluva dancer. This is what I'm talking about and this type of dancing is missed!

[emmagawsh]

seriously, her legs never end. gorgeous.

[puglet7]

Wow!!! She's awesome ...sexy , sophisticated and elegant . Great quality clip , too , Robbie. Gareth .

[oldjarheadvet]

My two favorite dancers are Cyd Charisse and Ginger Rogers. Bar none!!

[everlastingcurves]

Foxy!

[spiralheartmoongirl]

This kind of natural talent and beauty from long ago is very hard to find now... sigh!

Gorgeous! (^_^)

[UnderTheJoshuaTree]

Those legs were do die for!

[and9347]

Go girl!

[bijdroaba]

yes baby and yas baby beautifull

[LockmanTom]

How did you get such good sound quality on this clip?

[anhacus]

Wow!!!

[arawa1982]

beautiful! I love Cyd, her legs were insured for a million dollars :)

[RubyTuesday717]

0:42 is so far the best reason I can think of to buy a widescreen TV. I shudder to think of this film in pan-and-scan, Nick Ray was such a genius with CinemaScope.

[Silvermoth2]

She must have been having so much fun when she was filming this

[pissedllama]

Does any know where to find the film?

[RubyTuesday717]

As of right now it is uploaded onto YouTube; look up Party Girl Part 1 and after that it'll appear more secretly as "pgb", etc. It's also on my homepage's playlists.

[and9347]

We will never see human beings like this again! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! :(

[Callimo]

oh brother. i'm sure they're among us. seriously, looking to the past with such rose colored glasses negates the actual reality.

[Gobbleknoll]

There are good dancers today unfortunately only WICKED and MTV to dance in...

[Whittylips101]

She had the BEST legs!!!

[blakkycarbon]

This movie brings back fond memories. I can't remember exactly what age I was maybe 11 or 12, maybe even 10, but I just remember this was that pivotal point in a young mans life. I do believe it was the first time I can remember wanking off! Damn she had the finest legs!!

[blakkycarbon]

The two guys (starting at 2:35) have the best part!

[LADYLOC33333]

this is my first time watching her and i love her already

[bellinivernon]

Muy bueno ! Gracias , desde argentina.

[manly427]

we miss you Cyd.

[azintp]

rare combination of beauty and talent

[swanstep]

God, Charisse is so amazing!

[almxx]

Just look at that clip. When again are we going to see such a beautiful woman and handsome man in a movie such as in those days? NEVER!

[silvershields]

LLOOOOKK at her LEGS!!!!!!!!

RIP

[ScarletFBL2]

Goodness, look at her legs, if nothing else.

[motorcitymiguel]

HOLY TOLEDO!! RIP  Beutiful Lady

[archileach]

Cyd Charisse was the greatest female dancer to ever grace the silver screen. Check out our tribute to her at: (remove spaces)groups. msn. com/ classiccinema/ reviews. msnw?all_topics=1

And here is a terrific short biography link:

w w w . humorinthenews. com/ cyd/ pages/ bio_1. html

[Zeitgeiste]

Perfect!

She wasn't afraid of burlesque or the many vamp roles in Hollywood. But her style is impeccable.

[Bluebell1962]

God bless the truly magnificent Cyd,may she dance again with the other true legend Astaire in heaven,I was also a showgirl and this is the kind of dancing we did,nobody does it better than this woman,she was always well known to us dancers,a body to die for,legs from the gods,a joy to watch always,love her and love Fred

[edmame]

her grace is so incredible. i weep for you cyd

[divinoy]

Descanse en paz la maravillosa Cyd Charisse. Nunca la olvidaremos.

[amyvonfink]

I'm glad she lead a full, successful life, despite the fact she wasn't as well known as women with obvious sex appeal like Raquel Welch or Marilyn Monroe, Cyd's appeal came from her moves, charisma and talent. I'm glad she stayed away from scandal and papparazzi.

She will be missed.

[Zeitgeiste]

Why wasn't she better known? An awesome classical ballet talent in the Hollywood genre; and so sexy.

Just in the news that she passed away. What a talent.

[Exeunt26]

Probably Cyd didn't get more profile because she was a well-liked, talented and hard-working person. I can't find anyone who has a bad word to say about her. Sadly, that doesn't cut it when it comes to megastardom.

[pumbaarednose]

No one looks and dances like Cyd. I've loved her since I was a little girl watching her dance in movies. I was lucky to see her show in Vegas and I was blown away by her amazing talent and beauty.

[brixiafidelis1]

Wow... u were lucky

[jazzzbaby]

Loved this gal so much ~ When I was a kid and would watch the classic films she made me want to dance! And I did....

Rest In Peace ~ She is dancing up in the heavens now...

[nutmeg1961]

Wow, no one dances like that anymore. Rest in Peace Cyd Charisse!

[lesatz4]

¡Espléndida Cid Charisse!

La mujer de las piernas más bellas.

[Liz86000]

I love that movie!! Her & Robert Taylor are wonderful!!

[claudelecomte]

Quelle danseuse et quelles jambes ....

[valentji]

Good Day, can you tell me from what movie is this secuence? It is just great

[vicknew]

Wow-that woman could dance-and all in heels!

[dafnediana]

Como posso colocar este video no meu orkut?
