Fancy footwork


This is a terrific pre-Code gem, with excellent performances by Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and the rest of a very strong cast. The plotting and direction are top-notch, the suspense is believable, and Joan has ample chance to show her lovely gams. 9/10 stars from me.

I admit seeing a young Joan Crawford at her energetic best is a treat and so is her dancing and Clark Gable is good, too, but the film is fairly predictable. Watching this I can't help but think Crawford at this time would have made a perfect Daisy for The Great Gatsby.
But this film I would give 6/10.
