Dancing On The Rooftops In Chicago (1938)

Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. Various shots of a man carrying a woman on his shoulder as he makes his way gingerly along a plank that is sticking out of a window on the 19th floor of a building. Vertigo-inducing view from above shows the sheer drop below - yikes! Commentator explains the couple are doing a slowed-down version of the Big Apple (dance craze of the day). The woman puts her legs around the man’s waist and leans backwards while he turns around on a small circular board on the end of the plank. FILM ID:961.4 A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
