Fifties Cheesecake Dance No. 7

PLEASE READ THIS - Here is the third (of four) dance sequences from the 1955 film, "Son of Sinbad". The abundance of 50s cheesecake in this film, which was directed by Ted Tetzlaff, earned it a Condemned rating by the Catholic Legion of Decency. The dancer is Kalantan (Mary Ellen Tillotson), a Californian who was given the name, which means "heater", after appearing in Mexico.

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

If you want to learn how Raks Sharki (bellydance) got started in the US, see the DVD "American Bellydance Legends."

I need to find an Arabic film from the fifties with some romanticized quasi-historical portrayal of Europeans, so we can all say "that's not how to do the minuet!"

Wow! Thanks for the tip on that DVD. I will run straight to eBay and Amazon to try to find it.

Hey this is not Arabic Dancing

[pwgr2000]

Hey, I'm glad to see that someone is paying attention.

To dance in the desert with high heels... Not realist and not sexy.

[pwgr2000]

You have obviously never tried it.

Realist? We are talking about B-grade Hollywood fare of the 1950s here. I'm glad to see that not everyone out there shares your narrow perception of "acceptable renditions of the human condition in cinema". See andrebontemp's comment below.

Remember back when girls had hips and butts to go with those big boobs? ....

How did all these lily-white women manage to avoid tanning in the desert?

FYI: censors would not allow women to show their navel. that is why either the costumes covered their belly button, or they stuck a jewel in it

[MsPollywogg]
