Looks like only Cyd is dancing. Ricardo is only supporting her. In this film both had very limited roles. They made only one film together, as stars "Mark of the Renegade". I wish they had one film when they were still in their twenties.
No, ..it is definitely Not "Orchids in the Moonlight",...(although it does bear a slight resemblance to the melody". It's from the MGMusical, "On An Island With You" starring Esther Williams, Ricardo Montalban, Peter Lawford, and Cyd Charisse. It was written By Nacio Herb Brown and William Katz, ..and is entitled, "Charisse".
@AngelsAte Yes, it is the melody of "Orchids in the Moonlight" There are many covers of songs by different artists. This was covered by Rudee Vallee in 1933, and The Platters in 1960, to name a few. This is an instrumental version without the lyrics, so maybe that is why you don't recognize it. Just because it doesn't sound exactly like the version you know doesn't mean it isn't the song.
Thanks for posting this clip! It seemed to have disappeared off youtube. I'm so glad to see it back up again. These two made such a great couple when they danced together. (Then again, they were both great with whomever they danced.) I think this is probably their most "graceful" dance together. Although all their dances together are great. They seemed to have such a re pore. Thanks again. :o)
Ricardo Montalban was a dancer. He had another great dance with Cyd in this movie., "Denizens of the Dock"

Very impressive. It is, however, Not the melody of "Orchids in the Moonlight".

Fantastic, what gets me is people in film today think they can dance?
Anyone who cares about dance can see this is "real dancing", and "real talent", there is no one in film today that could even come close.
thanks for posting, scenes like this brighten up one's day.
