This man was a gifted genius, a skater who you knew without a doubt would never fall over, such a professional. We will never see his like again. Thanks for posting this unique piece of footage. Thank God we have film of this phenomenon, he is a joy to watch. God Bless you John, you have brought me such joy watching you, bringing tears to my eyes.xx
These were thought to be from 1973 Worlds, but I recently discovered that they actually took place in 1974 at the European championships exhibition in Zagreb. So he definitely wasn't with Gerschwiler.

No amount of today's triple & quadruple jumps could come anywhere near the artistry of this skater!

Simply beautiful! even in those early days (and I'd guess early 1970s if he was still with Gerschwiler) the Curry hallmark lines are still there.
Thank you.
