[Bounci]

These two videos (the 2nd to follow this post) come from the film Glorifying the American Girl from 1929, which is one of the early 'talkies' of the Hollywood era. It is also one of the very first to use colour, which is used for good effect in the stage acts near the end of the film (but we'll get to that later). It is also one of the first full length films to use nudity, and some of the costumes (when the girls are wearing them) are barely there. One such example is in this scene, where Dan Healy sees a showgirl who has caught his eye and makes a proposition to her that will give her a chance of stardom, but leaves in no doubt what she will have to do to earn it. I sadly do not know who the actress is in this scene, but her top is basically two tassels attached to her nipples, which means it leaves little doubt what her breasts look like!
