Product Description: Joan Crawford had been under contract at M-G-M for several years giving fine performances in many films without “breaking through”. When she heard about a film in the works called “The Dancing Girl”, Crawford fought for the role and won. It was her performance as “jazz baby” Diana Medford in this film that changed it all, and shot her to stardom. Ultimately titled OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS, Crawford’s energy practically bursts off the screen, as she portrays Diana as a lady who knows how to Charleston! However, the real truth is that it’s all a guise. Deep inside, Diana is virtuous and idealistic. Her baby-faced friend Ann (Anita Page) is actually amoral and selfish. She will stop at nothing to trap noble and dependable Ben Blaine (John Mack Brown) into marriage, breaking Diana’s heart. Ben eventually wises up to Ann’s true nature, as well as his own feelings for Diana. This story of “flaming youth” is a telling reflection of the time in which it was made. Accordingly, this 1928 film has been meticulously restored for this Blu-ray release, with both its image and audio (its original synchronized score of music and sound effects) meticulously restored.
