"The Conqueror", Sylvia Lewis' Temple Dance

[andrebontemp]

this dancer is excellent and her costume is kind of daring for the fifties though the movie was

really silly due to John Wayne's acting fortunately Susan Hayward and Agnes Moorehead gave

this movie a bit of class!!!

Sylvia Lewis - PURE CLASS.

Too racy indeed. This dance was actually edited out of the film (banned) in many cities like Boston, Baltimore etc. How times have changed!

This would have been considered quite 'racy' at the time. Such a wonderfully silly film.

I remember reading that John Wayne was asked why he agreed to play Genghis Khan, his reply was "I was drunk at the time"

@stayjit1 As I recall, he also tippled a bit while filming "The Conqueror". Could you blame him?

It is a great pleasure to discover more dance clips with beautiful Sylvia Lewis. Thanks for posting.

@stephenjoeagi yeah, only if it wasn't on the worst display of acting on Wayne's part.
