The famous Antonio. Correction: The woman dancer is not Rosario, as indicated, but is actually Carmen Rojas. Guitarists unknown. Anyone recognize the guitarists?
Great clip, despite the poor quality. It's an extract from Luna de miel (1959), directed by the great Michael Powell who also directed The Red Shoes (1948) It's Antonio (Antonio Ruiz Soler) and Carmen Rojas as the main dancers. I don't know who the guitarists are nor the singer. The woman sitting on the bench by the door is Ludmilla Tchérina. That's Rosita Segovia who arrives at the end. I love the old woman (mother? grandmother?) who keeps nudging Antonio to point out how good Carmen is.
You're absolutely right. I had them mixed up. Rosita was actually much older than Carmen. Thanks for the correction. No, I've never seen the film on DVD, just late night television every now and then.
The Best of Spanish Dance ever…I am looking for them in the dance they did in the film Ziegfield Girl. That was also magnificent. Any suggestions as to where I can find it. Thank you for posting them.
Thanks for your comment! I did a google search and found that the Rosario of Antonio and Rosario fame is actually Rosario Perez-Montoya. Antonio's dance partner in that film clip actually is Carmen Rojas, according to Wikipedia. Rosita Segovia did appear in that film, but was not the dancer in that scene (according to Wikipedia). Very interesting. Do you know where to get a copy of that complete film, on DVD or VHS?
This looks like it was early in their career, and since I know for a fact it was Antonio, I didn't want to state it was Rosario without being absolutely sure. Thanks for your input!
It's never been released commercially for home viewing :( I'm still trying to get the rights holders to release it. There was a cut down version shown on British TV some years ago and some tapes of that might survive. But they cut down the ballets so it's left very unbalanced and looks like a travelogue. But the full thing has been restored and shown at a few festivals. I saw it as San Sebastian 2002 - with Rosita Segovia. Lovely lady, no longer with us.
That's all I have. I don't remember what my original was, just a segment from some collection. The movie is Luna de Miel, I believe, and released in English as Honeymoon, and The Lovers of Teruel in the U.S. Don't know where you can buy it. Netflix apparently doesn't have it.

El más grande, un genio del baile😘
The flamenco singer is "Jarrito" and the first Guitarrist is "Manuel Morao". My aunt Carmen Rojas has said to me.

Florette: someone commented and said it was from the film LUNA DE MIEL (means more or less: Honeymoon). I'm not familiar with that film.

This is Rosita Segovia. The movie is "Luna de Miel".
Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate seeing even the segment.

Thanks for the info. Keep me posted.
Maybe it's on VHS? I'm doing some searches to see if I can come up with anything. It's not on Netflix for sure. Durn!
🌹👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹👏🏽🌹
I have a VHS copy of Luna de Miel, so I know it is out there somewhere.
That is indeed so, Steve. I've been searching and googling for at least a VHS copy of Luna de Miel, but no success. Any ideas?
LA BAILARINA ES CARMEN ROJAS, Y PERTENECE A LA PELICULA LUNA DE MIEL, 1958.

One guitarist looks like Nino Ricardo Jr. (passed away young).
Probably Rosario?They danced together for 50 years and now this is somehow an unknown Betty?
ESPLENDIDOS
Most likely, but I'm not 100% sure.
No me gusta que le ponga el pañuelo al cuello a la muchacha. Me parece de riesgo, por el tipo de movimientos del baile.
