PS. No arguments about the gif today, I hope - and if there is, here's the best scene from that film to absolutely wind y'all (thanks @Bambino and @Cleoriff) up further:

Narrowly contested for best film tango scene by the film Scent of a Woman:

Tell me who the actress is in Moulin Rouge ... just can't get her name

It is a very acomplished dark tango show ... you don't get that in Strictly Come Dancing wink

I have seen the film.

 

In The Scent of a Woman, a film which I havn't seen

I just loved that tango scenario

Thank you for posting.

Main actors are Nicole Kidman as the courtesan from the Moulin Rouge, who falls for Ewan McGregor, a penniless author. Jim Broad bent plays his role excellently, as does The Count - great film.
