Carole Lombard - Bolero-1934 Film Clip

Carole Lombard stars with George Raft in the '34 film Bolero. Lombard was nominated for best actress in 1936 for My Man Godfrey. She was married to actor William Powell and later to Clark Gable. She was the love of Gable's life-the unpretentious couple lived on a farm, raised chickens and called each other Ma and Pa. At the onset of WWII, Lombard was killed in a plane crash while returning from a war bond rally. She was only 33 and her career had just started to take off. Although Gable remarried, his final resting place is next to the love of his life.

@maidmoira And Torville and Dean electrified the audience with this again decades later. Their performance on ice was unforgettable. Thanks for stopping by and for your comment!

Thought Raft was a tough guy. Who knew he could dance. They could have been on Dancing with the Stars!

@tiptoe221 Raft was a tough guy. Just happened to be a tough guy who got his start dancing. This ain't as easy as Raft and Lombard make it look. In fact, they couldn't even perform some of the moves-long shots are of professionals Veloz and Yolanda . . .but I seem to have already disclosed that info. Best New Year to you tippytoes.

can someone name the song they are dancing to.

[preservationhall01]

@1983CUEVAS The name of the song is "Bolero". I can understand how this could be confusing to a Spanish speaking person since the Spanish word bolero also refers to any slow tempo dance music. Just to make it really confusing, Bolero was composed by a Frenchman, Maurice Ravel!
