Movie: The Band Wagon (1953)
New York's most sought-after ballerina, Gabrielle "Gaby" Gerard (Cyd Charisse), stars in her first Broadway musical production, and one of the most exciting parts of the play is the 12-minute “Girl Hunt Ballet” dance sequence, in which Gaby plays the seductive vamp in a red hot sequined dress with an art deco style diamond choker.
The necklace is most likely costume jewelry as many of the sketches of Mary Ann Nyberg, the film's costume designer, still exist, and they all include Cyd's accessories in the sketches. During the 1970 David Weisz Co. MGM Public Auction held at the famed studio's backlot, most of the movie's props and costumes were sold, which probably included this choker.

And now for something completely different...
Choreographed by Michael Kidd, in the 1953 Vincente Minnelli-directed film The Band Wagon, "Dancing in the Dark," performed by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse, is indisputably one of the top dance performances of all time in a musical film... the very definition of poetry in motion.
