Herbert Marshall, Kay Francis, and Miriam Hopkins in Trouble in Paradise (1932)

a consolidated list of movie credits for  Frank Condos (b. 1906, d. 1970) Nick Condos (b. 1915, d. 1988) Steve Condos (b. 1918, d. 1990) has tv too but not Harry, a phantom 

There were only 3 brothers, dancing only in pairs. Frank and Nick from 1929-1933 (some sources say '36), then Nick and Steve. "Harry" is the invention of a Playbill for the 1930 appearance of Frank and (presumably) Nick on Broadway. Any book or website that claims Frank and/or Harry were dancing on film (after Frank's appearance in '32) were likely sourced from misinformation. For more details, and a bibliography of the sources I find credible, see these notes. (http://bdrdiary.blogspot.com/2018/04/condos-brothers-chronology.html) Also provided: a list of screenshots and clips, so you can enjoy excerpts of them dancing.

When they danced together, their onscreen credit was always just (The) Condos Brothers.

Diana Beaumont and John Longden in A Lucky Sweep (1932)

from Appendix B of Tap! The greatest tap dance stars and their stories, 1900-1955 by Rusty Frank, published 1990

"From  the  1920s-1950s,  there  were very  few musical films  made  that did  not  have  tap dancing  in  some form.  This  appendix  concentrates  on "featured" tap  dancers - solo, and groups.  There  are  some  entries  listed here  that  have  not  been viewed  since  their original  release.  In  these  cases it  is  assumed that  the  tap  dancer  did  perlorm a tap  number in  the  film."
