Danse du Jour

I'm not overly fond of how this was filmed, but damn, that's what I call a dance number! This is the final scene from the 1954 French movie French Cancan.

Wow. Broke a sweat just watching this. What do you think of the production numbers in, say, Marx brothers films?

I have never been so impressed by such solid costuming. How in the world did those hats stay on???

Also, I can't imagine how many people got kicked in the head during the filming. Man.
