Sixties Cheesecake Dance No. 1

PLEASE READ THIS - This clip is from the mediocre and campy biblical not-quite-epic, "Esther and the King" (1960). The film was directed by Raoul Walsh and Mario Bava, as it was a joint US-Italian production filmed in Italy. Joan Collins played Esther, a Jewish concubine who is made queen by a Persian King and Richard Egan plays King Ahasuerus. The buxom Italian actress Daniela Rocca played the scheming Queen Vashti. No credits are given for choreography or the singer, who sounds remarkably like Yma Sumac.

I am always looking for new ideas for this series. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Wow, that's an amazing coincidence. What's more, my neighbour's dog's name is King. You must have both been born under the same star sign.

[pwgr2000]

Yes, you are quite correct. It is certainly worthy of inclusion in this series. I'm not sure how I overlooked it.

Watch this space!

1:57 -- "What poor idiot decided to bore me with this sorry spectacle?"

"Your chief eunuch, Hajar."

He'll never learn -- he'll be a eunuch all his life!
