Russ Tamblyn Yvette Mimieux Gypsy Dance

[@andi6349]

Didn't see anyone mention Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Russ Tamblyn as (red headed) Gideon. His best and funniest performance ever!!

[@imogen5218]

Wasn't Gideon blonde?

[@donaldcrabtree6259]

He certainly could DANCE! Athletic...such a form....such a FORCE... West Side, Brides, Tom Thumb and so much more.

[@folsominc2]

This version of the Brothers Grimm Fairytale is MUCH MUCH better than the fairytale itself. Wish this had been a longer version and a movie in itself. The most romantic thing that Russ Tambyln has ever done!

[@AusNetFan13]

They finally released a restored Blu Ray version of the movie. It’s beautiful.

[@cards0486]

In 1968 WEST SIDE STORY was rereleased in theaters. My first glimpse of Russ, snapping his fingers and I was a goner. I’ve been in love with him ever since. I love getting to see musical numbers that are new to me. This one fits that description. And if you’ve never seen PEYTON PLACE, he’s adorable in that.

[@HassoBenSoba]

1968? Do you mean 1961?

[@flwrfan1752]

@@HassoBenSoba-The commenter wrote West side story was re-released in theaters in 1968.It was first released in 1961.I didn’t see it until it was first shown on television.

[@faeryquene]

I've had a crush on Russ Tamblyn since I first saw him in "West Side Story" when they showed it on TV. It was either the late 60's or early 70's. I was 6 or 7 and the knife scene scared me! I cried at the end lol! And I was enchanted by Russ Tamblyn! I also saw him in "Tom Thumb" some time after. I think I was in my teens when I saw him in "Peyton Place" when it aired on tv. Norman in a bathing suit. Be still my fluttering heart! :)

[@djr6876]

His boyish looks appealed to young girls,I was one of them.

[@CelesteMott]

My grandparents taped this off the TV and I watched it obsessively on VHS as a kid. I feel old. ha

[@lindahoyt5690]

I don't see anyone talking about the gorgeous Russ Tamblyn here. He was the bomb!

[@KatrinaLeFey]

Exquisite dance sequence.

[@michaeldeane9029]

Gee, I was madly in love with Yvette when I was a kid..

[@mervrun]

Two questions...Why didnt Russ Tamblyn becaome a superstar...he was so much more than Riff and why dont studios make more stuff like this...people would wait in lines to see more people and let special effects...and Yvette ...I love you!!!

[@cathyvital7937]

Read his book that just came out. He was a big star and left Hollywood at his peak.

[@dianadelvalle3780]

This is the second time I see Yvette dance on screen. First time I saw her dance was in Diamond Head. I was a kid then, but I remember.

[@rski1036]

Yvette was beyond adorable.

[@KatrinaLeFey]

Gorgeous

[@kerryguzman8263]

Never knew that Yvette could dance I will always remember her in The Time Machine and The Hit Lady

[@PatrolOfficer161]

I honestly never knew Yvette Mimieux was a dancer.

[@Tina-qp7py]

Me neither. Big surprise.

[@joyfull5374]

I adore Yvette Minieux.

[@Maddy0825]

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been wanting to see this movie and this dance in particular!

[@MariBluethunder24]

yvette mimieux beautiful french father mexican mother good actress

[@ValkyrieZiege]

; The 'Cloak-of-invisibility' is as old as myths, and fairy-tales. Great dancing from Russ Tamblyn, as usual.

[@kenmorgan2507]

Mervrun, totally agree with you,those days are gone,in my eyes a special beauty, we're the same age fell for Yvette when Time Machine came out,always thought about her.

[@littlejeffmo]

Even though he didn't dance in it, I really liked Russ Tamblyn in the early 90's TV show Twin Peaks.

[@mervrun]

Was that really Yvette dancing....if so why didnt she ever dance in other movies? One of the true beauties in Hollywood of a time of innocence a long time ago!!!!

[@joycekellner9957]

Wow! I have never seen this before. He is a thrilling dancer. I think he must have been a gymnast before, as he practicaly flies.

[@Sarah_270]

Yes he was a trained gymnast

[@odessa108]

The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm.

[@lylepearson-m2p]

A true find! More, please!

[@Juliaflo]

Mr. Tamblyn was not in the television version of 'Peyton Place', but the movie version, and was even nominated for an Oscar. He was also in 'The Boy With Green Hair' and 'Father of the Bride', released in 1948 and 1950 respectively.

[@petergambaccini7396]

No, that was Dean Stockwell.

[@jorgedominguez1957]

Oh Ivette Mimieux, so sweet and beautiful always

[@216bernardo]

Awesome!

[@264rubymi]

Omg Yvette is my Grandpas wife!!

[@faeryquene]

I think most of us know the actors themselves are in their senior years. It's the fantasy of their film images most of us still admire and enjoy. Anything wrong with that?

[@cards0486]

faeryquene Right! In THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT Liza Minnelli’s line “Thank God for film” says it all. All these years later we can see all sorts of wonderful performances of every kind.

[@norenenordby4504]

Saw one of her costumes recently housed at a place called Movie Madness in Portland, Oregon. It was her princess dress from The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. It looked tiny! I read she was only 5 ft. 4 inch. and weighed 107 lbs. TINY INDEED and gorgeous too!!

[@cynibunny]

I borrowed the VHS cassette from the same Movie Madness, and have been hankering forlornly for a version of this whimsical movie. I credit my roommate Sam with turning me on to the film. What fun!

[@jamescrawford9883]

He was in both Cinerama movies, HTWWW & Brothers Grimm.

[@DrMontague]

Great film. I remember that his task was to find out why the princess slept all day.

[@Juliaflo]

I saw this film as well as the rest of the Cinerama trifecta--How The West Was Won, and of course, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World. (I guess this gives away my age, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.) Peace be with you.

[@faeryquene]

Dancing with the Stars and 'Star makers' like American Idol are a joke.

[@faeryquene]

Yes, I know Mr. Tamblyn wasn't in the television series 'Peyton Place' which starred Ryan O'Neal and Mia Farrow. I wasn't born yet when Peyton Place came to movie theatres in the late 1950's. I meant I watched Russ and Diane Varsi's Peyton Place when it has aired on television. I think it was the 1980's when I first saw the original Peyton Place (the movie version) that was aired on television. I've never liked the TV version of Peyton Place. I didn't like Return to Peyton Place either.

[@schallrd1]

Great entertainment.

[@kentlauer9571]

West Side Story was released in 1961

[@Juliaflo]

@htrrz I second the motion. Try recreating this on Dancing with the Stars. LOLOLOLOL.

[@marcelohughes]

@lasktguy WHO cares if she was a good dancer?- she is georgeous to look at, she moves so lovely..her hair is like yellow flowers under the sun. Yvette.....GOSH!!- I just wanna be Mr Tamblyn and take her to my .... home. (hehe...I,m shy...I wanna take her to my.. bedroom !!). YES!!- Those 60,s girls!!- Yvette, Carol Lynley, Michelle Phillips, Sharon Tate....I was born too late!!-in 1979, but I can see them here!!-Matt

[@marcelohughes]

@lasktguy I know, but..what I want to say is..Yvette is so lovely that it doesn,t matter IF she dances like Cyd Charise. I would love to see her dancing in more movies, of course. I,m one of those guys who truly admires this lovely creatures, and u are right..Sharon was the loveliest. About Miss Weld....UP!!-I must admit I have never seen a movie with her. I will try!!-thanks. Matt- PS: my girlfriend is NOT blond!!-haha, but I love her truly.

[@mrsblue3011]

She was no Cyd Charise!

[@marcelohughes]

@@mrsblue3011 as I wrote... "Yvette" it´s clear she is not Cyd Charisse!!!!

[@flix2view]

How did you find this clip? Where can this movie be found? Thanks.

[@allanbuttery5297]

The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm and is only available on VHS not DVD.

[@lasktguy]

@varon1979 well apparently the person I wrote my response to cared since he did ask why she didn't dance in more movies. And you're right, the blondes of the sixties were gorgeous. The one I loved that you didn't mention was Tuesday Weld. Sharon Tate was the most beautiful of all of them though.

[@jimlassiter749]

what movie is this????

[@ricardosolomon852]

It's pretty obvious that this was originally filmed in 3D. The director keeps putting people and things in the foreground, while keeping whatever is in the background distant, in order to highlight the depth of field.

[@Reyne-fb7mj]

Actually it was filmed in Cinerama. The film was projected on the screen by 3 projectors. If you look closely, you can see the 3 sections.

[@petergambaccini7396]

Yeah, Cinerama didn't last long. It was basically this and "How The West Was Won" and that's about it.

[@faeryquene]

They call no-talent 'Reality' show people like Paris Hilton and the Kardashians 'Stars'. That says it all.

[@jackrenglish]

YEP

[@Madileigh1996]

@htrrz i soooo agree..

[@danielcoffey]

i wanna be yvette. you can have russ, though he's a heck of a gymnast, and I dug him in HIgh School Confidential, playing the kid with the really bad attitude. Of course, you had to cut him some slack because Mamie Van Doren was his horny aunt who was always hitting on him.

[@lucialamprey2690]

Thanks for posting this but I hated this movie so much. I was a little kid when I saw it, in Cinerama no less.

[@marcelohughes]

@DancingSpiderman And I wanna be her bed !!- Yvette put me in "state"....if u can understand. Matt

[@lasktguy]

mervrun, she was a good dancer but by no means a professional. Put her in a movie next to someone like Cyd Charise and you'd see wasn't anywhere near her in ability. That's probably why she didn't do more dancing in movies.

[@DancingSpiderman]

I wanna be Yvette Mimieux's chair cushion.
