- Summary
- NoS Summary - dance scenes with Lolita and Cortez at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
NoS synopsis: "Where the catchy lilt of "Bambolina" entices the feet to stray -". Men and women dance. They are dressed in peasant costumes. "In the "Romany Tango" - Lolita and Cortez give us an unusual dance reminiscent of the Argentine and Apache varieties - (Assisted by our slow-camera.)". The dance is shown in slow motion and incorporates lifts, throws and lots of rough and tumble including a spectacular throwing down of Lolita onto a sofa. - Researcher Comments
