Speaking of obscure films. I found two additional older films, from
Spain this time, that include cancans. I hadn't heard of them before.
Neither is anything to write home about, but they do add to the cancan
film list.

I've stumbled across another cancan in a Mexican film. The film, which dates from 1954, is "
Se solicitan modelos".You can view just the cancan at:
http://cancanclassics.multiply.com/video/item/24The full length original of the entire film was posted by SuperStanila at YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MkWg6T5JroThe cancan appears late in the film at about 1:20.

A long lost TV episode of the western series Bronco. The cancan scene is quite short and scarcely involves any dancing, but I have fond memories of seeing this as a teenager when it originally aired in the late 50's and early 60's.

Vfl Ballett Engelskirchen is a German dance group that specializes in
the cancan. There are numerous photographs of them available on the web,
but most of them are not high quality as they appear there.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to give proper credit to the dancers or
photographers by name. I'll just have to direct you to the
photographers' sites, as the venue and website are Chinese. My guess is
that the dancers are Russian. The event was something called the Urban
Forest Carnival.

Here are links to several classic era rarities that have become available recently:
La Casta Susana
(Argentina 1944) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIXJOKcvF6w (starts about 28.30, although there is a music hall scene earlier that doen't qualify as a cancan)This is a bad print, but it does show what promise lies ahead if a good copy could be located. The cancan scene is sort of a smash-up between a Busby Berkeley cast-of-hundreds number and a Marx Brothers comedy. If anyone knows how to get a DVD of this (or even a VHS tape), please post the information.
There is also a French/Spanish 1963 remake of this film that contains two very nice cancan scenes. I haven't seen a posting of it on You Tube yet though.
The 1944 cancan scene is excerpted on Cancan Classics:
http://cancanclassics.multiply.com/video/item/20/La_Casta_Susana_Argentina_1944Zaza
(US 1938) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24qjvOdCeQQ (toward the end of part 1)The cancan here is pretty minimal, but it does feature Claudette Colbert flipping her skirts in the film from which the iconic 1938 Look magazine cover was taken. Here's a link to that image in case you are not familiar with it:
http://www.pettipond.com/laterimages/images_m/look112238.jpgI have never seen this shown on either broadcast TV or cable. The print is not that sharp, but it's the only game in town right now. Perhaps someday, this will be available on DVD.
Fernsehunterhaltung Silvester
(Germany 1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lYrIE2IobcI include this in this posting because non-German members will probably never see it otherwise, and it is a nice sharp print for a televison program from the mid-Sixties that features classic costuming (tights excepted).
An excerpted version can also be seen at Cancan Classics:
