This was one of my favorite scenes. When the camera view switched from the dancing girl to the venetian blinds and the cops staring from outside the window...that was brilliant on multiple levels. What a marvelous film.

Avery important part in this clip is when Doc asks the policeman "How long they were watching through the window" He understands that if he had not taken those few minutes to watch the girl, he would have gotten away. Great scene. The importance of time!. What's that saying " A stitch in time saves nine"
la séduisante Helene Stanley, charme et finesse, une danse qui mène à la prison et aux policiers, idée géniale de John Huston... une distribution parfaite autour de Sam Jaffe et Sterling Hayden... les talents !!!
One of My fav movies--the dance music -is the same tune -played on the radio Van Johnson opened the back of in Scene of the Crime - made a year earlier--trying to identify it --
Many people, in my opinion, misconstrue the scene. It's not about Doc lusting over the young girl. It's about Doc knowing he will be caught sooner or later, surrendering to the fact and taking the opportunity to be generous before the inevitable happens. It's not like he has previously seen the girl dance to the music nor does he know that she will do it when he gives her the money for the jukebox. If Doc was intent on getting away, he wouldn't have been in the slightest concerned about a teen complaining about being bored. I hate how superficially many people react to this scene. Huston didn't make superficial, obvious films.
Sorry Russell I have to disagree-I think its totally about our weaknesses foiling us--look at when the cop identified him after saying young girls have been brought to "this part of town-"-why would he risk at that time both he and Dix getting nailed--
I don't think so. He's a child molester. The actress is 21 but the character is clearly supposed to be in high school, about 15 maybe. The camera focuses on her body. There was no reason to make her a child unless Doc had a thing for _very_ young women. He isn't merely watching her dance, he is transfixed. And his predilection is what got him caught.
In a interview, Jon Houston said that every character in the film was moved by his vice - Lon, the luxury, Dix, the horses, Doll, by Dix, Cobby, the licor, and Doc by the young girls. So, i think he was lusting over the girl - and i don't blame him for that.
I've been after trying to get the name of that jazz/swing/bebop piece she dances to. Anyone know? Google says it was composed by Miklos Rozsa sourced from Andre Previn and Alexander Hyde but it won't give me a name.
At the end asks cop a question how long were you watching through the window,, answer is 2 -3 minutes then he says ..... about long enough to ____________ (?) I can't hear what he says (?) Also, cop feeling overcoat acts like he feels something inside the coat and says we've got the right man. Am I right or what?
I love this whole movie. This scene is just another that shows how "instant gratification" can mess up your long term plans.

I watched this film two nights ago. I just had the feeling some cool cat would have uploaded this scene, and sure enough ......... Thanks !
This film is without a doubt the best crime movie ever.
@JJ KK Bahahaha yourself. This movie is a classic and far better than the ones you mentioned.
Wonderful music. The tune played at 2:53 is from a dance number in the 1945 movie "Twice Blessed."
Positively one of the greatest crime dramas ever filmed!
Jeannie, the dancing girl, was played by Helene Stanley. She is best known for being the live model for Cinderella, Aurora, and Anita Radcliffe.

Just had to watch that girl dance. Can’t blame him but it cost him in the end.

I feel like that cop at the train station gave him a concussion, doc seemed a bit off after that

This score was an Andre Previn composition. Used in several films of that period.

No matter how clever or how cocky, crime doesn't pay.

@@smilergrogan3344 that's exactly what the whole movie is about. Dix and Lon are the darkest visions of the American dream ever.

Early in the movie he lust on young girls pictures.

I swear i heard it on a postwar ellington cd...but i cant find it either..doesnt sound like Duke..so it remains a mystery
Was that Ganga or Din? I always get the two mixed up.
Gunga Din.

Can't help but wonder where this woman got all that rhythm. I'm talking legitimate rhythm, not dance school rhythm.
