La mujer que baila no es Rosario. Esta escena pertenece a una película pero no sé cómo se llama. A los aficionados al flamenco les recomiendo vean por you tube a Sara Baras, Eva Yerbabuena, y la gran CARMEN AMAYA.
I am so pleased to see this as Ive only found the Hollywood Canteen one and a cut from another film he made. I saw him on the London stage quite a few times and think he is brilliant
Great clip, despite the poor quality. It's an extract from Luna de miel (1959), directed by the great Michael Powell who also directed The Red Shoes (1948)
It's Antonio (Antonio Ruiz Soler) and Carmen Rojas as the main dancers. I don't know who the guitarists are nor the singer. The woman sitting on the bench by the door is Ludmilla Tchérina. That's Rosita Segovia who arrives at the end.
I love the old woman (mother? grandmother?) who keeps nudging Antonio to point out how good Carmen is.
It's never been released commercially for home viewing :(
I'm still trying to get the rights holders to release it.
There was a cut down version shown on British TV some years ago and some tapes of that might survive. But they cut down the ballets so it's left very unbalanced and looks like a travelogue.
But the full thing has been restored and shown at a few festivals. I saw it as San Sebastian 2002 - with Rosita Segovia. Lovely lady, no longer with us.
You're absolutely right. I had them mixed up. Rosita was actually much older than Carmen. Thanks for the correction. No, I've never seen the film on DVD, just late night television every now and then.
Thanks for your comment! I did a google search and found that the Rosario of Antonio and Rosario fame is actually Rosario Perez-Montoya. Antonio's dance partner in that film clip actually is Carmen Rojas, according to Wikipedia. Rosita Segovia did appear in that film, but was not the dancer in that scene (according to Wikipedia). Very interesting. Do you know where to get a copy of that complete film, on DVD or VHS?
This looks like it was early in their career, and since I know for a fact it was Antonio, I didn't want to state it was Rosario without being absolutely sure. Thanks for your input!
Anyone who's shrewd in this kind of dance. Is this a fandango?

@colcatta1 When Antonio dances, it's taranto. Salud!

@antoniorosacarmen Hay una persona que informa que la película es LUNA DE MIEL y la "bailaora" es Rosita Segovia. Gracias.

That is indeed so, Steve. I've been searching and googling for at least a VHS copy of Luna de Miel, but no success. Any ideas?

Maybe it's on VHS? I'm doing some searches to see if I can come up with anything. It's not on Netflix for sure. Durn!

This is Rosita Segovia. The movie is "Luna de Miel".

One guitarist looks like Nino Ricardo Jr. (passed away young).

Thank you for posting. This is fabulous. There is not enough of either of them out there.

This is sooo sexy. I agree that the female is probably Rosario; she is as young and fabulous as Antonio.
