Song of Scheherazade (1947)

[Yvonne De Carlo, Brian Donlevy, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Eve Arden]

In 1865, the cadets of a Russian Naval Academy ship have shore leave in Morocco. Among them is fictionalized future composer 'Nicky' Rimsky-Korsakov. In search of a piano, Nicky and the singing ship's doctor Klin meet a family of once wealthy Spanish colonists - and their daughter Cara, who secretly dances as "Scheherazade" in a cabaret. Romantic complications ensue, but Nicky seems less interested in Cara's favors than in inspirations for his future masterpieces.

At 45:37, Duke Johnson juggles 3 clubs in the background for 16 seconds, starting with a long run of a 3 club shower, and then does some behind the back throws.
