All those ballroom dance lessons paid off for Gene when she accepted the lead role in the sizzling romantic film, Tango. In this cinematic masterpiece, Gene plays the daughter of a U.S. diplomat in exotic Buenos Aires, Argentina. As lively as she is lovely, she is the toast of the capital during the glittering Peron years. She first meets the fiery, dark-eyed artist who would change her life at an embassy ball. They dance the tango � the first of three such dances during the film.

It is without a doubt the second dance that heated movie houses. Slipping from the embassy during Carnival, Gene dances with her lover - he the vital male, she the irresistible temptress. They glide as one, sinuous body, suddenly parting to strike a pose electric with smoldering drama. Their eyes are locked with scorching intensity, and their simmering passion leaves audiences breathless� and thrilled.

In Tango, Gene wears the ultimate dancer�s dress, suggesting sensuous movement even when perfectly still. It is tailored of multi-layered coral chiffon with exotic beaded accents at the bosom, and a dramatic attached stole. Golden hoop earrings and bracelet add the finishing Latin touch to this beloved Hollywood film that became THE date movie of the year.
