[thestinson108]

first bikini

[jojojojolene]

She is amazing!

[jazzyspazzrawr]

well what does this say about gender politics in the 1930s?

[flamencodancelove]

talk about abuse!!

[MsBoulevarde]

Ouch - Domestic violence as art! What is the hidden narrative here?

[alecatota]

amazing



[flamencodancelove]

does any one know the name of the performers?

[bortomatcha]

wow..real very very Sweet Acrobats :)

[150petera]

This is a fantastic act full of skill and sexuality - Karina looks amazing in this brief costume - the overhead split at 2.50 takes terrific strength and control and the hairpin backbends show her body could be held in any position - and the overhead throws....she seems to get more orgasmic and submissive towards the end....so sexy...

[Lrdvltr]

This is very cool.

[MelanieAF]

Amazing skill, control, training, fascinating to watch-but there's something the tiniest bit creepy or unwholesome about the vibe of the act.

Another good one is the Ragamuffin Romeo dance section from the early talkie revue "King Of Jazz".

[coaxialgyro]

and she was still standing after so much streatching. amazing.

[steve0281]

They're what you might call "highly skilled."

[jazzmanzoot]

If it ment, Throwing, that, Lady about ! ?

I wouldn`t mind being called a Tosser !

[jessiem552]

Amazing routine, but what's with the close up on the guy watching with his hand in his pocket?

[DanceTwin02]

This is so AMAZING! LOVE IT :)

[ThatsMRdouchbag]

ED Sullivan used to have these acts on.

Now it's a tad Politically Incorrect.

[MORKOS621]

@ThatsMRdouchbag Try posting a modern version of this and you'll get flagged.

[ThatsMRdouchbag]

@MORKOS621 My mother who was a little salty would watch this on Ed's show and say to us kids, "Boy,

he (the lifter) musta got a good whiff." Is it any wonder that 50 years later she had the filthiest mouth in the nursing home - advanced dementia.

[MORKOS621]

@ThatsMRdouchbag I'm sure. But I'm talking about violence to women. This was made in the 30s. If they were in the Ed Sullivan Show, that must have been two decades later, at least. The girl looks young, but those guy must've been pretty old by then.

[DanniAnniFUL]

if been dancing for 11 years, im turning 14 this year. i have never ever seen any thing like this before. that girl would have to be fearless and have 100% trust in those guys. Most amazing thing ive ever seen :D

[rannajim]

Hey Lady, get out of that joint. I don't think these guys are into women.......

[2cheezbrgr0cheez]

that was probably the most violent contortion video I've ever seen. It's a good one, but violent

[Ignauhak]

I'm sure it should demonstrate just how much trust exists between those people...

[xander7ful]

These people are amazing athletes.

And I agree with Marcoy. There are so many unemployed people out there with incredible gifts - including athletic - that we need to get back to this kind of entertainment and see more of this.

[falconer100]

Amazing, especially the finishing sequence.

[sexygal17]

Fresh, still. *LOVES* it!!! Five stars! xoStephy :P

[sheppaul]

I wonder how many marriage proposals she had gotten

[gunson94]

WOW. She is amazing amazing amazing. AMAZING. amazing amazing amazing. So amazing.

[marcoy86]

this is the most amazing thing i've ever seen.

the girl have got to trust in that guys...

amazing_ we need something like that now ;D

[pikipikilin]

ouuuchh

[jedprosn08]

ang galing nio naman

[LaCriollaRoja]

Golly!!! And I thought I was flexible!! Time to step my game up

[Morahman7vnNo2]

1:35 So this is where Groucho goes late at night. Ought to be ashamed of himself...For not telling his brothers about it.

[ALLexanderKPP]

Hm....lovely.

[rainbowskylark]

AMAZING

[767Sandie]

that's sick! XD

[feliah]

Great act ! I get the impression this lovely contortionist with such a sweet body got to take both men to bed. She was done pretty good.

[mcspanky09]

oh man...that is ridiculous...she's amazing

[sosmanpipo]

formidable,comment s'appelle ces acrobates???

[heartsofspace]

[19Harlequin81]

How much trust is there? That is gorgeous :)

[alesssandro78]

[Antonink]

CGI - Vfx

[quitebitterpi]

[caelestis42]

cool and nice but not spectacular, 4/5 :)

[ryukenosuke]

...holy....crap. My mouth had dropped open after the first half minute and stayed open until the end...

That's some crazy skills, trust, and obvious training.

[minimi1000]

Wow ..

[OliverDouble]

This is a great clip. I collect films (like Soft Lights and Sweet Music) from the 1930s and 1940s which showcased variety acts. Where did you get this from, and is there any chance I could get a copy?

[kanjiking]

alter Schwede! was für ne körprspannung!!

[annieoceana]

Vas? Ich vergessen alas mein Deutsch. Estut meir leid.  Aber Ich, wollen tu vehsten- oh forget it I want to know what you wrote.

Danke

[kanjiking]

[annieoceana]

Thank you for responding-uber liber

[XxSoundlessxX]

Haha they threw her. =]

[hamstertoes]

hmmmm. themes or rape...but very remarkable acrobatics

[acrobatterry]

Thanks for posting this wonderful routine, I've never seen it before this.

My first act was very similar, my teacher obviously knew the act well.

[annieoceana]

get out, are you for real

[recneps2001]

Any more information? Who are they? Nationality? What is the film source?

[grayfly]

Karina, Vadio and Hertz 1936.

Karina was from Glasgow, Scotland

[mealypeggy]

wow, Amazing that is sooo cool i love it!!! thanks for sharing this with the world!

[goycircus]

umm!!! it is the best act that i've seen:)

[elmondark]

i wish they'd just drop her :)

hmm must be painfull if they missed catching her...

[Gyorgyzsilak]

The BEST!

[1400deadwood]

Awesome!!

[sonotantobello]

the name of the acrobats in the credits? PLEASE!

[a2034487]

Soooo amazing... I really like the physical way of working with the girl, and the many quick switching between very brutal and very slow moves. Must be very very hard for the girl to do that, not to mention that she has to trust both her partners totally because she's thrown around and kicked all over the place...

[so3mex]

+.+ Amazing

[tt0the]

c00l

[superbatmanfan]

I can not imagine that happened

[emmbee]

Fantastic, great capture of the old-timey days in the movie business when contortionists could be found much more frequently than they are now. Thank you!
