1956: Meet Me in Las Vegas


Cyd Charisse...


The Cyd Charisse formula was starting to wear thin by 1956... She's repeating her stereotypes here -- once again a ballerina "high-art" dancer who is forced to hoof it in a tacky show... She's sexually repressed, but when it's time to let it all hang out she's show-stopper sexy... The promo ads above are a lot better than her actual performances, although the "Frankie & Johnny" number does provide the requisite "Sexy Woman Shooting Her Man Down" moment... And of course, the legs, there's always the legs...


Cara Williams...

La Cyd is sizing up Cara, thinking she can be sexier...
