Raft took a wrong turn when he traveled down the crime movie road. That's all of Raft I see on TCM. None of his great dancing movies are ever shown. I guess he hung around his pal Bugsy too much.

I adore these two actors! Class, elegance! This is wonderful!

I can whistle and swivel, come on girls I show you a little step I learned in L . A . "Hang on that line comes from a William Holden movie" Here comes Alfred Hitchcock, girls show me your teats, your teats, I mean teeth...

I knew of George Raft as an actor, but he first time I saw him dance was on a live show on UK TV where he replicated this. I was a teen and I'd never seen anything like it for sensuality. Love him so much.

Couldn’t you just fall in love with him over and over ?

Who knew George Raft was such an excellent dancer. Talented!!

Love George's sexy smile at the suggestive lyrics

I always wait for, and am never disappointed, by Raft’s signature move: pause & slow turn with arm extended.

What a character! There was an interesting show on his career last night on Coast to Coast AM.

He looks like a young Corrado Soprano Jr.

They had the best coke back in those days.

This is one of my all time favourite burlesque acts. Sally always cheers me up on a rainy day, even nearly 100 years later ❤

It's worth watching especially for the appearance of S.Z Cuddles" Sakall and wise cracking of Iris Adrian. Janet Blair sure was one pretty Gal!

Dancing looked more like a person skiing, ice skating and running all at the same time back in those days, I don't think my legs can move that fast! 😂❤😂

Guys used to know how to do it right in those days

Brace67, I agree! And your comment was not corny at all! The man lived an artistic, colourful life with many accomplishments, the best of which were his dance moves. Some wacky (like the vaudeville shows), some comical, some jazzy, some conventional. But his best in my opinion, were the Latin type dances. In all styles, Raft was always correct, precise and creative. His charisma was irresistible and still beguiles today.

Now that's dancin

THIS IS GEORGE'S GO TO DANCE NUMBER IN .....MANY.....FILMS.....

King of cool!

It's really a shame that you post a clip (where the whole point is watch as much of 2 human bodies dancing) that was originally filmed in a 4:3 aspect ratio, but you present it in a 16:9 ratio. This screen format wasn't in common use until the 50s, so the result here is that you've cut off the top and bottom of the frame so the side to side will fit the 16:9. Rather defeats the point of trying to see dancers.

wow

She was great

We enjoyed the story of your experience. Thank you for sharing.☺️

So-called "George Raft" wasn't even his real name. George Ranft obviously sold-out his birth moniker in the name of 'Hollywood' shallowness, deceit, & greed. The change was probably as the result of pressure from money-grubbing Agent(s) and or Studio(s), with preconceived notions of greater recognition and better financial gain?! The worst part was the disrespect of parents and family heritage.

Wow! A rough crowd. George danced his heart out.

So precise. George seems to glide.💕 Not appreciated enough by film experts

Breath taking dancing filled with emotion.

George Raft was SEXYYY!

So corny but I love watching George Raft dance. He had a distinctive style and showed such command and presence on the dance floor. Thanks for posting this clip.

Lol

“Nix on the talk-dance!” I gotta remember that one.

George Raft had an elegance that was all his own! He could dance beautifully. I have only now discovered this!

George Raft at his very finest. Anyone recognize Bill Frawley in the camera cutaways? He later played Fred Mertz in “I Love Lucy”.

And George Raft let James Cagney take the lead.

George Raft had very smooth moves!

This is the tango not the crap they show in dancing with stars.

her performance was absolutely breath taking! So graceful and elegant.

HahHaha favorites having fun

На Тихом Океане кто-то воевал, а на Бродвее кто-то танцевал. Ни что не ново под луной.

Want that dress!!! The style is absolutely beautiful. Can't beat the class of 1940's dress and love the music too!!

Lovely, pure class.

Wow, outstanding dancing. Best I've seen.
