The Morlidors performed from 1950 until 1981. The act was staged by Kurt Frindt and the doll character was played by his son Horst Frindt. Horst was not naturally flexible, in 1981 when they retired Horst was already 46 years old. By the end of his performing carrier Horst worked with his wife as a duo. The black face golliwog was replaced by a character based on Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street.

I've seen a lot of these things by now, but this is the best one of these I've seen. It's got all the tricks. Bringing out the doll in a box, the leg twisty thing, the act of hanging up the doll and winding it up to do a dance, and that penguin trick is hilarious, innovative and incredibly unique. The way the doll flops, flails and crumples on impact is the best I've ever seen, bar none. And having the duo of the girls display the strength and the guy displays flexibility is incredibly refreshing. Unbelievable how they're just able to fling around this guy with one arm WHILE IN HEELS is jaw dropping. Just wonderful from top to bottom.

Thank you for the comment! You absolutely right, this is one of the best acts in this genre! Although "the doll" played by female acrobats can be much more flexible artistically this is probably the best number of that kind of all time.

[@kjh1678]

​@Naftalinoff No problem! Yes, the women can be much better flexibility wise, but in my opinion, I kind of like it when it's a man in there given how exceedingly rare it is.

@@kjh1678 In the oldest videos which I have, from the 1930s-1940s, the doll is played exclusively by men. I myself prefer girls in that role ;-)

Amazing show

Very cute

[@ElCharroNegro2023]

The artists must have been preparing for years for this spectacular act........además las señoritas son muy guapas y sexis.

[@Naftalinoff]

Horst Frindt who was "the doll" in that act remembered that it normally took several month to introduce a new girl in the act. He himself trained since he was a child, he was not naturally flexible

[@ElCharroNegro2023]

@@Naftalinoff In fact, I was surprised by the ability of the actor and the girls, since it is difficult to walk in heels and they do it very well ..... even carrying " the doll' '" without falling on the stage. Greetings from Mexico.

Pretty impressive how they do all those lifts wearing high heels!

most people growing up didnt know that a golliwogg is a racist thing it was made to mock black people u can even search it up but the show does look good if they didnt make the thing a golliwogg
