흥미로운 사실
Bolero is a 1934 American pre-Code musical drama film directed by Wesley Ruggles and starring George Raft and Carole Lombard. The Paramount production was a rare chance for Raft to play a dancer, which had been his profession in New York City, rather than portraying a gangster. The film takes its title from the Maurice Ravel composition Boléro (1928). The supporting cast includes William Frawley, Ray Milland and Sally Rand.
Production
The film was based on the life of the American dancer Maurice Mouvet, known professionally as Maurice (1889–1927). Maurice was born in New York and moved to Europe at a young age, where he became famous for his dancing. He was romantically involved with several of his dancing partners; other partners left him to get married. Maurice died relatively young of tuberculosis.
George Raft, whose character was based on Maurice, said he knew Maurice and taught him some dance steps. He refused to appear in the film until some changes to the script were made, but Paramount suspended him, only to later relent and implement the changes.
Miriam Hopkins was intended to play the female lead but fell ill while making Design for Living. She was replaced by Carole Lombard, although Lombard had never danced professionally. Paramount was impressed with the performance of Ray Milland, who had been away from Hollywood for a while, and later offered him a long-term contract.
The film's title and music are based on Maurice Ravel's Boléro, but the composition was not written until 1928 and the scenes take place in 1914.
The Hays Office disapproved of real-life burlesque dancer Sally Rand appearing in films, but Paramount paid her $1,200 per week for four weeks. The film was released before rigorous enforcement of the Hollywood Production Code came into effect on July 1, 1934. Several scenes would likely have been banned by the code, such as those in which Helen auditions in her underwear and Sally Rand performs her famous fan dance.
