That Dance Scene in "Le Week-End"

[Mac_the_Nice]

Something about it just tells you it has to be an homage to or "quotation of" the same dance in another film. I thought, well! It must be from a cafe scene in Jules & Jim--what with the three dancers, two men and one woman?  Hopefully, I thought, the credits will reveal whether that hunch is right. Indeed the credits did, and that hunch was wrong! No, it's from another French film of the same era, one I never saw, but certainly will, because it has to be one of most charming dance styles ever seen on film. Maybe because it just seems so French? Who can reveal which film has that dance scene? This clip will show only the most fleeting glimpse of it . . .
