Juggling in Movies

The Verdict (1946)

[Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Joan Lorring, George Coulouris]

Mr. Grodman was a respected superintendent at Scotland Yard until a mistake in an investigation caused the execution of an innocent man. He takes the blame, is dismissed, and replaced by the obnoxious, gloating Buckley. Feeling vengeful, Grodman would like nothing more than to see Buckley look foolish on the job. His friend Victor Emmric, an artist with macabre tastes, wouldn't mind either and soon a mysterious murder occurs that may provide them with the chance.

At 43:59, John Romero performs a juggling act for about 30 seconds on stage at the Royal Music Hall, seen in the background while Grodman and Emmric are seated at a table in the foreground. Romero's juggling consisted almost exclusively of a 3 ball cascade with an occasional single ball thrown high, or 2 balls juggled in one hand.
