Barbara Stanwyck is AWESOME!!!! Who's the choreographer who said, "I think Barbara should do splits and Russian dance squats and kicks in high heels and an evening gown."?
She was a great actress and really looks like she is enjoying herself . Wish we could move like that now.She really could jitterbug .Can't imagine Robert Taylor moving like this though
She can do splits...I am in love with her more every day...every movie with her is simply fantastic....and she was such a wonderful person...Barbara Stanwyck rocks!
I always remembered the blonde, Marion Martin. Always played the gangsters girlfriend.One of them was Sheldon Leonard who later ebcame a big TV producer.
WOW! Look at La Stanwyck kick her heels! That cossack-type step is amazing, and she herself (not a stand-in) is actually performing it. People at the time must've been astounded that she could do this stuff.
I think I still like that jitterbugging the best, though.
Wow! I'm completely blown away by how some of the moves in this routine are actually early Breakdancing moves! Barbara Stanwyck was way ahead of her time! No wonder why she's an idellible legend!
Actually, this dance step in question originated from Russia and Eastern Europe; I've seen this exact "novelty dance" on tapes of the Soviet Red Army Chorus performing.
this is one of my favourite ever movies, the wonderfull costumes are by the great edith head. for 'research' the warbrobe department went down town to a burlesque show! fab song. stanwyck will always be my best gal.
I agree. I'm a novice costume design enthusiast and I must say that the costumes in this movie are some of the best from the legendary Edith Head. I've been trying to gather as many pictures from this movie and "Ball of Fire" so I can commission exact replicas of the costumes from The Western Costume Company. This is just an idea that I've had for sometime, I wonder if it can actually be done?

Know who the guy is she's dancing with? I think it's an old comic named Pinky Lee, who had his own TV show way back when. He always wore that hat.

It's called novelty dancing and it's been around at least since Vaudeville. But man those tights! Now that's something to write home about!

Some of those early breakdancers were very aware of their dance roots.
