La pauvre Goulue ... trop d'absinthe. 🥂 😢

The Dancer in the polka dot dress was Katherine Kath-a former prima ballerina from France who turned actress. She lived to be 92 when she passed in 2012. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Kath live.staticflickr.com/65535/50981503223_5a95596bd8.jpg

I think the smaller of the two males is Tutte Lemkov who I believe also played the Fiddler in the film of Fiddler on the Roof

[@cpnscarlet]

Moulin Rouge is not in Lemkov's film list on Wikipedia. Also, there's 21 years between Moulin Rouge and the film version of Fiddler, so I think the actor (uncredited) in Moulin Rouge would have looked somewhat older by 1971.

@@cpnscarlet Apologies but will have to correct you as he is indeed in Moulin Rouge and cast as Arliennes partner Also in the full cast list is the actress Mary Clare who played the Nun in high heels in Hitchcocks The lady vanishes With regard to Tutte he has one of those faces that are unmistakable Wikipedia is not always a reliable source as it relies on people feeding it with information. I believe he also made a short appearance in Brian Forbes the Wrong Box.

[@cpnscarlet]

@@siegfried923 No it's not always. Where did you find his name in a cast list? Was it in the movie credits?

[@guitarguy382]

It is him. He was also in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.

[@karlahernandezguerrero2537]

Que bonito el baile si todavía practicaran estos en la actualidad seria hermoso.

[@JordieLeBoosh]

Today they just twerk to rap music

[@atikva3804]

Valentin le Désossé, la Goulue, Aïcha... et qui est le quatrième? Tous fidèlement recréés.

[@graniteman62]

That was true entertainment to see live, not the bullshit now, entertainers who actually earned money to live every night from rich patrons

[@Janus-fn2uz]

Less of the American vulgarity if you please. Could you not just say 'Rubbish' rather than the vulgar term you used?

[@graniteman62]

I'm cdn using cdn vulgarity

[@janderson6257]

Does anyone know what the music is? Offenbach or not?

[@cpnscarlet]

It's a melody written for the movie - music.apple.com/us/album/auric-film-music/265444940

[@johnvonundzu2170]

Definitely not a note of Offenbach.

[@isammolina4842]

La danza esta barbara!!...solo que no era necesario "disfrazar"la cara del bailarin con nariz y menton falsos...El pintor hizo una deliciosa caricatura de su rostro;en realidad el compañero de La Gouleu no era feo.😉🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿

[@cpnscarlet]

Agreed, but you'd have to complain to John Huston for that. And he's dead. I hope you at least like my "tribute" video. I love the Quadrille music and dance.

[@domenicociraolo]

Ha voluto riprodurre la locandina.

[@trionabyrne217]

Is the dancer in a orange dress Indian?

[@cpnscarlet]

No idea. Don't even know this actress' name.

[@trionabyrne217]

@@cpnscarlet Ok, I was only wandering, that's all.

[@MrJCCLR]

Muriel Smith is the dancer in the orange dress. She’s African American and was born in New York City. She was also the ghost singer for Zsa Zsa Gabor’s opening song.

[@MrJCCLR]

I can’t believe this made it though whatever censors they had in 1952.

[@cpnscarlet]

@@MrJCCLR That's some trivia! Now I want to find some songs and listen to that voice.

[@CrepeSuzetteDance]

Officially, she is saying "dirty-necked Algerian". But with a French accent, and 1950's monotrack, it... does not sound great. Yikes.
