Ricardo Montalbán, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse | "Dance of Fury" | The Kissing Bandit ('48) 

Ricardo is not only a gentleman and full of charm....what a talent! Loved when he lifted both Cyd and Ann...wow! He was very handsome to boot!

Ricardo has his hands full!

Ricardo Montalban was a seriously underestimated actor. Every Director who worked with him had nothing but praise.

WOW Great premise Two girls fighting over one guy... love it...!!~!

MGM Texan BABEs were called in to try to save the movie...Cyd and Ann!!

Never has a cat fight been so colorful or choreographed so well! Best part of the movie, which was pretty much unwatchable other than this! Leave it to Cyd and Ann to give their all in a performance - ‘course Ricardo was no slouch either and just as easy on the eyes! Great dance number!

Ann Miller when interviewed about this dance number stated that it was brought in to save the picture. Ricardo Montalban badly injured one leg as well when he had to carry both Cyd and Ann and twirl them around in the middle of the dance number. It was a great number with great music. Cyd and Ann looked very sexy with Ricardo.

Ann Miller was a cousin of mine. Her father was from a small town near where I grew up and he was my grandfather’s cousin. (Mine too I guess) He moved to Texas where he met Ann’s mother and they married, had Ann, and split up fairly quickly. She was raised by her mother, who was a stage mother but very doting towards Ann. Her dad became a wealthy Houston lawyer along the way. She had very little to do with him growing up but I noticed she married wealthy powerful men from Texas several times. Marriages didn’t last. She seemed to marry people like her dad. RIP Cousin Ann😊

2:05 Montalban begins a spin move with Miller and Charise where he take the full weight of both women and spins them twice around. Great strength and balance. Truly a great performer.

My God when did dancing devolve from this art form

Someone really thought out this dance number. This is still a touch of the Golden Age in movies for me.

What beautiful colors the film has.

Apparently when shooting had been completed the studio knew they had a dud on their hands, and this dance was shot and inserted into the film to inject some much-needed life into the project. It is really the highlight of The Kissing Bandit, however the film still bombed at the box office and lost over $2,000,000 - an absolute fortune back then.

It's so elegant and passionate, I just love this number 🙂

Goodness, Mr. Roarke was a gorgeous fellow when he was young! Aged well too...

Definitely the highlight of the film. Great dance sequence❗

Wow...this was hot!! Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse and Ricardo Montalban together! The costumes, the music, the dancing...just perfect. I have never seen Ann Miller do this kind of dancing before. She is obviously more than a tap dancer. And I have never seen Cyd Charisse tap before this. How did Ricardo pick up both those women at the same time?

he look good asf in that green suit 😳

MERVEILLEUSE CYD CHARISSE quel trio a notre époque ces grands films sont terminés

@ 0:45, damn that was pimp-ish, wow...go'on Mr. Rourke!!

Charmoso e jovem Ricardo 'Khan' Montalban!!! Bela dança!!!

Ricardo ♡♡♡

Throw Vera Ellen in to the mix and you'd have the three greatest female dancers of that era. Superb

Love, love, love this number and movie!!!

Ricardo Montalban and Frank Sinatra!

Ann Miller and Cyd Charisse in the same cantina. The only way it could get any better is if they had a real cat fight.

LOVED this part ......

Just watched this movie, this was the best scene. If they took out the singing and had more of Ann Miller doing her whirling dervish dancing, it would have been a much better movie. No fan of Sinatra, I almost didn't watch the whole movie and I fast forwarded through the singing, but I'm glad I stayed for this scene.

Good God that's discipline and dedication..👏👏👏🏆

Ricardo...and Cyd and Annie...

love this movie. Like Disney's It's a small world, I like to think of Mexico as colorful, and beautiful like what this movie represents.

I love this dance and they weren't even the stars of the movie.

Wow. Any male, full time dancer would be challenged to perform with two of the greatest women in dance & he pulled off both at once!

Amazing dancing.

They moved to Utah...

Awesome n graceful dancing.😊

Very beutiful dance

So amazing seriously

Dicen que Frank Sinatra tuvo que usar calzoncillos muy ajustados porque estaba muy bien dotado y no le permitían ni siquiera insinuar su bulto ...si suena muy vulgar lo siento porque esa anécdota es muy probable que sea cierta. Montalbán tenía 2 pies izquierdos bailando😮 las chicas lo tapaban para que no sea su torpeza al bailar

So.2 ladies trying to win attention from the same man. I hope they compromised and found a way to work it out. They all deserve the best.

Magnifique

Stunning! ✨

Pero cómo se parece Ricardo Montalbán aquí a Ignacio Allende! ¡Cómo no le dieron alguna película sobre este caudillo?

Great video 👍👌👏

beautiful

Love this screen. But the rest if the not so much.

👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👑👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤❤❤

Poor Frank.

WSPANIALI.

As a Spanish person... What dance this is supposed to be?

More like a cat fight

Weird. The first shock was Frank Sinatra in a toupee and that _costume,_ then the bizarre dance ménage ét trois. I adored Ann Miller in, “You Can’t Take it With You,” but Hollywood musicals didn’t ever seem to do her much good. I guess there’s a good reason I’ve never heard of this movie.

The girls were great no fault there but my God he was terrible he just could not carry the sketch, he simply was under talented. And he ruined the whole sketch with his lack of talent.
