The cameraman was standing next to my grandfather, Walt Shaver, who played bass with Cougat for about 5 years. We have a still from the production showing the filming of this particular angle somewhere in the family archives; what amazes me is how seamlessly the movie is cut together knowing that the dance scenes were shot at least three times to accommodate different camera angles.<br /><br />Interesting video - Hayworth was a phenomenal dancer!Rev.

In its original setting I would have had trouble appreciating it.<br /><br />And some of the clips just flat out did not fit the music beat. Especially some of the real short ones, it's a case of close-enough that you don't catch on to unless you are sensitive to it. Plus the music has a many beats in it and a syncopated rhythm underneath, so there are plenty of spots for the dancing to look very close.Rosenoreply@blogger.com
