    Cyd Charisse had the most toothsome smile and probably the most beautiful legs in the history of Hollywood.

    She was so gorgeous, graceful and aged beautifully.

    She was one of the best dancers of her generation, my favorite 💓. I love this dance scene. Very tasteful.

      @@TrangPakbaby yes it is but considering it was 1966, most of her contemporaries looked much older at the same age.

    There have been a lot of great dancers gracing the Hollywood screen, but none more ravishingly beautiful and talented than Cyd Charisse.

    So cool to see. Big Charisse fan. She's TOTALLY. HOT here!!!! Can definitely tell we're into the 60s since the Production Code is basically gone (thank God).

    The song and the choreography aren't equal to her talents. She makes them seem better than they are.

    • @TheJhtlag
      @TheJhtlag Před 9 měsíci

      Yeah, never heard of this movie, looks really cheesy, might be fun to watch in the right mood. It is a spoof I suppose, so maybe that's the point but probably not a very clever one and this is just another quick gig for a late career Cyd Charisse. Agree, she makes it better than it should be, maybe ad-libbed some too.

    I saw the movie at a theater during its initial release. This scene was abbreviated when shown on TV and forever after. It continues with an upbeat instrumental, wherein she ditches the dress to reveal a sexy two-piece number that really rocked. I wish I could see her full "sophisticated strip" (as it was described at the time) again.

    Oh a gun can be a .22
    Or a .38 and it will silence you
    Dear sir, that is a silencer
    But if you should see a lady
    Who has the kind of waist that measures 22
    And she's 38 where it is great to measure 38
    Dear sir, she is a silencer
    Dear sir, I'm her
    I don't use a knife, don't need a gun
    My equipment is a lot more deadly, son
    Dear sir, I am a silencer
    And if you're a man not made of wood
    When I flip my hips, I'll quiet you for good
    Let me brush your lips and crush your lips
    and nicely hush your lips
    Dear sir, I am a silencer
    Dear sir, don't stir, don't move, relax
    Loosen your tie
    Turn out the light
    Take of your shoes
    Don't fight
    Lean back
    Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax
    Dear Sir!

    Her Santiago dance in the same movie is much more impressive with clever choreography as she attempts to pass a stolen microfilm to the beat of the music.
