This was filmed one evening, after a performance, with just the piano accompaniment. It was probably made so Agnes de Mille could preserve her work. The Hornpipe was recorded the same night. Tired dancers, no lighting, piano. But it's an amazing window into the past that none of us knew existed.
@@BalletBabyBoy Thanks for replying. It's a little confusing though. Do you mean the late Gemze de Lappe, the associate of Agnes de Mille? Where is the original film? The RU-vid video is rather blurred. 16 mm film should be stored in a cool, dry area.
@@BalletBabyBoy I KNOW that. Looking at it today, it IS DATED. I live in 2024 -- not 1945, so how I can I judge if from a 1945 POV? There is "timeless" (fill ____ in the blank) and there is DATED stuff. This is certainly dated. Saying "it's 1945" is NO EXCUSE. What year do YOU live in? Unless you live in 1945. DUH!!
@@mylesgarcia4625 Hey smart ass. I performed in a national tour of Carousel with Bob Goulet playing the Carnival Boy. We loved the production and choreography. If you want to see some awful "contemporary" choreography where they are slobbering all over themselves giving french kisses in the pas, well then, there are plenty of crap productions on video/dvd. Enjoy 2024 garbage!
