About The Record:

Can-Can is a film staring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan, and gave Juliet Prowse her first speaking role in a feature. The film centers around a dancer doing the can-can, which could be considered lewd, in a love triangle between her lawyer and the judge trying to arrest her for the dance she preforms, and fighting the law in order to prove her innocence. During the filming, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev famously visited the 20th Century Fox studios and was allegedly shocked by the goings-on. He took the opportunity to make propagandistic use of his visit and described the dance, and by extension American culture, as "depraved" and "pornographic".
