4.0 out of 5 stars All singing, all dancing, all hokum!, 9 Nov 2006
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Clark Gable may have been the right star at the wrong studio - just think what Warner Bros. could have done with him in the Thirties - but he still had enough star quality to overcome even the most dubious casting. Take Dancing Lady, MGM's take on Warners' backstage Busby Berkeley musicals. It's a terrific movie put together with no expense spared, but somehow Gable isn't the first name that springs to mind when you think of a musical director putting on a Broadway revue. But then Joan Crawford isn't the first name you'd think of for a downtown gal going from Burlesque to Broadway and exhibiting the singing ability of Lee Marvin and the dancing skills of a fugitive from a chain gang (there's a difference between dancing and just knowing the steps).

All clichés are present and correct, from Joan replacing an `untalented' star who can dance her off the screen to the chorus girls with great faces but horrendous voices. Somehow it doesn't matter: it's too much fun and too ridiculous for that, especially in the absurdly overproduced musical finale which would need a theatre the size of Times Square to stage (great lyrics too: "Here in Bavaria/We'll take good care of ya"). Franchot Tone provides the romantic rivalry, Fred Astaire the only discernible dancing ability. Far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

There are a few minor print glitches in the first half hour, but otherwise this is a pretty good restoration. As well as the trailer, two MGM shorts featuring the Stooges are included on the R1 NTSC DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Joan's best films, 16 Mar 2007
By Ms. A. Montague "annie" (surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is nothing better then watching Miss Crawford dancing, she was beautiful and a very talented dancer. I loved this film from start to finish, Joan plays a poor dancer trying to make it big. This film also stars Fred Astaire in his first major role.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic film, 6 Jun 2009
Highly recommended, I must have watched it at least 6 times since buying it and never get tired of watching it. The dance scene with Fred Astaire is very memorable. A must have for Crawford fans.
