Cyd Charisse - Frankie and Johnny

Recently the great dancer Cyd Charisse passed away. Cyd Charisse was one of the stars in the era of movie musicals in the 1940's and 1950's. Read her obituary in NY Times.

Here is a video clip from the film Meet Me In Las Vegas from 1956 where Cyd Charisse dances to the song Frankie and Johnny sung by Sammy Davis Jr.

I love the precision and quality in the dancers movements. What a great choreography. It's credited to Hermes Pan according to the Internet Movie Database (but the poster on Youtube says Eugene Loring).

Last summer I posted a clip where Cyd Charisse dances in the film Party Girl.

What do you think of the dance scene with Cyd Charisse? Please comment.

Cyd Charisse is dancer who certainly knows how to match her movements to the music. Here is a sexy and sultry dance number in this video clip from the movie Party Girl.



Or maybe they matched the music to her movements? When it well done like this it's hard to tell. Cyd Charisse has such precision when she dances, it's a joy to watch.

The film Party Girl is from 1958.
