contortion – the Ross Sisters 1944

May 2nd, 2009 | Circus, movies

The Funny Page posted this 1944 video of the Ross Sisters, a scene from the movie Broadway Rhythm.

Are Aggie, Maggie and Elmira triplets?

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

This must have been one of the earliest contortion acts to reach a Hollywood film audience.

Thanks George.

Consider my deletable comment to have been thought but not said. ;)

Wrong in every sense of the word. It actually made me scream.

That may have come off a little harsher than intended. Very talented obviously but I did not enjoy watching it at all.

That was cool. The last one I’ve seen (with all three girls) and the second to last one is the only one that made me cringe… in fact most of it was quite tame to some other acts I’ve seen.

That had a really creepy feeling to it…it looked creepy and the music made it feel like a freak show. Very ambivilent about it……boardering strongly on the not liking it side.
