For the third Week of Dec.2017 we chose a beautiful Tango dance scene from an excellent movie about Rudolph Valentino's life titled "Valentino" produced in 1951 which was based on Valentino's life. Rudolph Valentino started out his career in New York City where - after he got off the ship from Italy - he worked as a Tango dance teacher - handsome but poor and almost destitute - until he started to have some rich clients - ladies of various social positions and persuasions.
The video is produced by the party called Ultimate Movies Broadcast Show (no clue who is behind it) - on Jan. 03 - 2017. The title reads "Argentine Tango Danced by Anthony Dexter and Patricia Medina in 'Valentino' - 1951". In the scene Valentino - played well by Anthony Dexter performs a hot and sensuous classic Tango "La Cumparsita" at the casting party at the opulent home of major players of 1920's - Hollywood. Anthony Dexter flawlessly channels Rudolph Valentino who got his first major break-out part in the movie "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse" after performing this memorable Tango. The popular book "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse" is long, tedious and hard to get through.
The ravishing star Eleanor Parker plays Valentino's love interest - also a famous female movie star from 1920's who had a tempestuous affair with Valentino. They were cast together in several successful movies with the "Sheik" motive - much parodied and ridiculed - since every enormously popular piece - meets this course of events.
Unfortunately Valentino died young - in his early thirties as a result of peritonal infection (burst appendix) - caused by the blow he sustained from his lover's jealous husband. His funeral in New York City in 1928 - stopped New York traffic for a long time as thousands of people - especially women - mourning him - came en masse to pay the last respects to their beloved matinee idol.
Have a great new week - everybody! The major winter holidays are almost here then the New Year's Eve 2017/2018 is "right around the corner". Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it! We finally got an inch of fluffy snow on the picturesque hills in our mountainous neighborhood close to New York.
