Critic Reviews for Dancing Lady
All Critics (5) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Elaborate screen revue in which Joan Crawford re-establishes herself as America's dancing daughter.
A rubber-stamp story of the rise of a burlesque dancer, entertaining because of the unalloyed display of Joan Crawford's elegantly stream-line chassis, the occasional dancing of Mr. Fred Astaire, and some good rehearsal scenes.
a mixed bag. It suffers from too much going on in the story.
Spectacular, stylized finale is big plus for backstage musical.
A quintessential Joan Crawford Depression-era backstage melodrama, in which she plays an ambitious showgirl torn between Franchot Tone and Gable.
Audience Reviews for Dancing Lady
What an absolute delight. This little gem from 1933 has not gotten anywhere near the acclaim it deserves. If you're a fan of 1930s American cinema (and who isn't?), you have to put "Dancing Lady" on your list. I enjoyed every second of it. I'd even go so far as to say it's my new favorite early-30s movie.
Super Reviewer
A good cast, but an average story of dance and romance between show people and rich people. It wasn't all that interesting, but it's an okay movie.
Super Reviewer
I LOVE CLARK GABLE! He's such a CUTIE!!
