Movie Title	Dancer	Description
Kama Sutra		director Mira Nair. I remember the movie is so beautiful and there's a part where the girl dances (it's classical Indian dance called Odissi - beautiful hand movements! That is so pretty!!! Be Aware-- if you rent this video from Blockbuster, you will get a censored version. I bought my copy from Borders bookstore in the foreign film section for only 14.95. Yeah, I know, it's Borders the conglomerate, but I had a bad case of "want it now".
Key To Rebecca, The	Lina Raymond	(1985) This made-for-TV flick features the awesome Lina Raymond doing a wicked Cairo cabaret show. Lina Raymond as "Sonja" gives my favorite dance performance on film. She is awesome.
Khartoum	Leila	Charlton Heston, Laurence Olivier
King of Kings		Ron Randell (as soldier), Robert Ryan (as John the Baptist), and Brigid Bazlin (as Salome)
King Richard and the Crusaders	Nejla Ates	I faintly remember a movie with this title (w/ Rex Harrison in some rather unlikely casting as Sulieman?) where in one scene '50s Egyptian dancer Nejla Ates undulates into frame then does an amazing backbend to the floor -- but not much else. Nejla was TURKISH & one of the first Oriental dancers to get famous in the US.....
King's Pirate, The	Tania Lemani	(1967) just as the main characters walked into a tavern with several 'belly' dancers dancing in the style you would expect of a 1960s swashbuckling pirate movie! The lead actors were Doug McLure and Jill St John. -- Judith
Kismet		(1955) Musical, Howard Keel, Dolores Gray -   Nice Production! "Stranger in paradise" A small clip with dervishes spinning, another short clip with Cooch dancers, some fairly military oriental style dance, and some stuff midway between show dancing and East India. - Aziza Sa'id Kismet - Musical version with Howard Keel, bass-baritone GOD. Very Indian inspired costuming. Many very silly dance scenes, and 1950's hair. - Gwyn
Kismet	Carmen D'Antonio, Marlene Dietrich	(1944) Marlene Dietrich, James Craig, Ronald Colman. WOW costumes! A few clips of rather hard and wild scarf dance, a group dance that is pretty well done and generally east Indian. Marlene does a dance that is not at all mid-eastern, never mind the cool costume.- Aziza Sa'id There is another non-musical version, with Marlene Dietrich, wearing gold tights. Also Indian inspired costuming. Also EXTRAORDINARILY silly dance scenes. - Gwyn
Knickerbocker Holiday	Carmen Amaya	as a Gypsy dancer (1944)
