Red Skelton has some trouble in his ballet lessons in the 1944 MGM film "Bathing Beauty". The tune is Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Nutcracker". Skelton explained that it was uncomfortable to prepare for this scene because he had to have his chest, back and underarms shaved in order to wear this costume. | Profesor José Gongora Ballet
