George Raft's vaudeville dance scene in Bolero (1934)

[@Brace67]

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

I've known about "the hook" all my life (quite a while) and this is the first time i've seen it in action. Oh the humiliation.

[@MrCrowebobby]

The human version of the hook, used at the Apollo in Harlem during the amateur contests, was ten times worse.

[@bandicoot5412]

That was one bad ass dance.

[@orchardist6529]

Also spotted William Frawley and Victor McGlagen

[@l.a.gothro3999]

Is that William Frawley as his buddy? Nope, as his brother!

[@stormyone]

Any one know the names of George’s wonderful dance steps here?
