Can-Can Dance (From 1960 Movie "Can-Can") (1080p HD)
Can-Can is a 1960 musical film made by Suffolk-Cummings productions and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It was directed by Walter Lang, produced by Jack Cummings and Saul Chaplin, from a screenplay by Dorothy Kingsley and Charles Lederer, loosely based on the musical play by Abe Burrows with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, with some songs replaced by songs from earlier Porter musicals. Art direction was by Jack Martin Smith and Lyle R. Wheeler, costume design by Irene Sharaff and dance staging by Hermes Pan. The film was photographed in Todd-AO. It was, after Ben-Hur, the top grossing film of 1960, although it was a box office disappointment failing to make back its production costs.
The film stars Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan, and introduced Juliet Prowse in her first film role. Sinatra, who was paid $200,000 along with a percentage of the film's profits, acted in the film under a contractual obligation required by 20th Century Fox after walking off the set of Carousel in 1955.
The name can-can may be derived from the French for tittle-tattle or scandal. However the dance was also referred to as the coin-coin and this may have become corrupted into can-can. In its early days, the dance was also called the chahut (French for noise or uproar).

Not many people know that during the filming, Soviet premier Khrushchev famously visited the 20th Century Fox studios and was shocked by the final dance scene. He took the opportunity to make propaganda use of his visit and described the dance, and by extension American culture, as "depraved" and "pornographic."
It was actually forbidden for years. Because it was called "porn" or what they called it at their time.

That would explain the old woman's reaction and high usage of legs.

originally when it was first performed it was done completely without underwear. True. That is the main reason for it being banned and being performed "underground".

@@kevincoxhead7137 Oh yeah I remember hearing that! Completely without knickers! That's why it was so scandalous, they weren't showing their underwear, they just didn't have any!!
Doesn't get much better than this.

I recall first hearing this song when I saw a Gay Mens Chorus (that one of my sister's ex-boyfriends' father belonged to). They had a bunch of guys come out in Can-Can style dresses while singing the song. It was hilarious!
Superb - I'll definitely watch this one! Warm and funny.

I don't know what that tune was, but it certainly wasn't the "Galop Infernal".

smwca123. The can can is the name of the dance not the song. It was performed to many different tunes.
What is the name of this particular song?

rego007 this is an instrumental of the title song from the musical “Can-Can” by Cole Porter. This scene is from the film adaptation of that musical, but they decided to drop the lyrics to it and just have it as a dance.

The can can is the name of the dance. It was performed to a variety of similar pieces, including the one you are thinking of. The infernal gallop.
