Dancing Lady

(Robert Z. Leonard, US 1933, 94 min.)

In one of her most successful vehicles for MGM, Joan Crawford stars as a burlesque dancer who works her way up to chorus girl, then leading lady in director Clark Gable’s Broadway show. The musical highlight is Crawford’s dancing duet with Fred Astaire in his first movie. Comic relief is provided by Robert Benchley and Moe, Larry, and Curly, The Three Stooges. A new 35mm print preserved by George Eastman House will be screened, preceded by THE PARAMOUNT NEWS REVIEW OF 1933 (1933, 10 min.) and Benchley in HOW TO SLEEP (1935, 10 min.).
