My obsession with early technicolor continues. Here is a simply amazing clip the inamorato (the man self styled Trav S.D.) posted on his blog today of the Albertina Rasch dancers. From the film The March of Time, 1930.
I’ve seen a couple of Company XIV’s previous productions and they were just extraordinary. I want to be their court artist. Everyone in the NYC area should go see their remarkably designed and danced baroque creations.
