Karina (1898) | Old Colorized Movie

"Karina (1898)" is a short film lasting just under thirty seconds, showcasing a burlesque dancer performing a routine where she repeatedly spins and lifts her dress. For its time, this was quite risqué, likely screened in adult-themed theaters. While similar dance performances were common in films of this era, they typically revealed only a glimpse of leg. Here, however, the dancer reveals much more—though without any nudity, it remains surprisingly provocative for 1898. Given the nature of the performance, it's easy to imagine this film being quite popular among male audiences.
