What Dancing Lady Is About
Joan Crawford plays a dancer trying to climb from burlesque to Broadway, Clark Gable is the director drilling her, and Franchot Tone the wealthy admirer who would rather buy her the career. MGM built it as a star vehicle, but the interesting things are at the edges of the cast: Fred Astaire makes his feature debut playing himself, Nelson Eddy turns up early in his own career, and the Three Stooges are on hand as well. Three separate careers begin in one picture. The backstage plot is familiar and holds no surprises, so the pull is entirely in the performers. Robert Z. Leonard directed. Who it is for: viewers curious about thirties studio musicals and about beginnings in film history. Who it is not for: anyone wanting an original story, since you can call the ending in ten minutes.
