Re: Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Charlie Chan in Egypt"

The Rita Cansino that made only her third movie in Egypt then went on to do an incredible dancing sequence in Spencer Tracey's "Dante's Inferno" that can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj_dnnRPniU. It's also posted on my website.

Pat Paterson was an attractive as well as excellent actress playing Carol Arnold but she literally as well physically pales when Rita appears.

IMHO.

Did Paterson voluntarily retire movies after only making three more pictures (less than two dozen in all)? Probably since she was married to Charles Boyer.

But I can't help wondering since Rita Cansino went on to become the incredible Rita Hayworth!

I have also found out the music in this clip of Rita dancing is the Zarzuela Cubana by Ernesto Lecuona (Siboney) that was used for Joan Woodbury's dance in Broadway
