  • Anton Dolin appeared in a number of Hollywood films, with his last appearance being as Enrico Cecchetti in the 1980 film ‘Nijinsky’.
    In this video, he partners Lilian Harvey in the dance sequence in the movie 'Invitation To The Waltz' (1935).
    The music is Carl Maria von Weber’s score used for the ballet ‘Le Spectre de la Rose’, choreographed by Mikhail Fokine.

      yes, the music promises so much more than Dolin does - which is just partnering - nothing near a big jette!

    Her voice and singing style reminds me of Big Edie from Grey Gardens.

    Dolin and Alicia Markova opened a studio/performance space in Soho, which they named The Donmar. It is still working as a theatre

      that's interesting - is this the space you were speaking of? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donmar_Warehouse

      well, the Donmar was called that by Donald Alberry who bought the buildings in 1961, though very many years before that Pat Dolin had other rehearsal spaces, amongst which one in Chelsea

    What a fascinating artifact from that era. Per both IMDB and the BFI website, Dolin devised the choreography (what little there is of it), though he probably had to shape it around Harvey's limited dance technique. Seems she was known mainly as a singer.

    • @JohnRaymondHall
      @JohnRaymondHall  Před rokem +3

      yes, Dolin is just a 'porteur' here - - i didn't know he did the chore - thanks for that

    • @JohnRaymondHall
      @JohnRaymondHall  Před rokem +3

      yes, mainly a singer - i read "she began her career by attending the dance and voice school of the Berlin State Opera and assumed her grandmother's maiden name (Harvey) as her professional surname" - so there was some dance training

      Her dancing is charming. Decidedly weak in spots but credible and the partnering is really lovely. What a treat! I’ve not seen Dolin in such a long clip. 🙏
