Bolero

Raoul De Baere wants to dance. By day he works in a coal mine. At night he goes on in amateur shows. He is ambitious and calculating. He is told he would do better with a partner. For that he borrows money from his brother. He puts together a dance act. He works small places at first. Then he crosses over to France. There his name begins to be heard. He goes on stage with his partner Helen. But one day she leaves and marries. The war comes between them. Years later the two of them meet again on the same stage. George Raft and Carole Lombard take the leads in Wesley Ruggles’s American film of 1934.
