I don't think its coincidence that she resembles Gloria Swanson...

Grandma wuz workin' dat Azz !!!!

It does'nt show in her photo's. ( with the mile high makeup, & all. ) but Bow was just a kud in the 1920's.)

Wow talk about a good-looking couple of actors they were beautiful

Joan in all her three-strip Technicolor glory!

Happy to see Marilyn Miller's performance preserved!! Great musical success of the early 1920s

John Boles was Dr. Frankenstein's buddy in the original classic.

Love it! She was probably the greatest movie star of all time. And if you survey her filmography from beginning to end, you'll witness her astonishing versatility and growth as an actress. She was amazing.

Pre-Code panty shots. Crawford dances with frenzied abandon.

She can dance.

She really was charming!

I really like the vaudevillian style of dance popularized by Marilyn Miller, James Cagney, and so many others . . . I love the jelly leg style with the stiff upper body that was of that era. Sure, Astaire and Powell style is more modern and popular, but no one was as light as a feather and birdlike in dance as was Miller. Watch the whole movie Sally to see her amazing light-as-a-feather-in-the-air dancing . . . just no one like her before or since!

Jarmila Novotna praises his Danilo with her in LA MERRY WIDOW!

I still can't see what all the fuss was about her.

I don't see any black people....anywhere! Must be a whites only place.

Joan was so underrated when it came to her dancing. She was great here. I'd dislocate my hip doing those kicks.

🎶..ahh flappers💞

She is bewitching!💙💙💙

I don't understand why after 1930 he stopped making commerical records, his voice was still very good into the 1940s.

Wow! 😲

Ooooh! is very beautiful cover!

For 1931 her dress is outrageously short, especially considering all those crazy kicks. This film is obviously form before the Code era.

She was adorable!

Cecile B. Demille's most underrated film.

For a woman of her heft and size to be cast into a dance scene let alone a dance movie is one of the great examples of early movie unreality. This is like watching a battleship trying to dance. Its amazing how she resussitatedher early career via dancing and then amazingly morphed into one of the basic reference points for being a star. Look at her later 30's and 40's film presence. Just the grand entrances in many classic films. To start where she did and arrive at the level she later did, its no wonder her career is legendary.

1:04 -1:06 Clark Gable without his moustache he looks naked without it!

One of my favorite numbers from this film.

The movie Singing in the Rain has a movie poster, on a movie stage wall, called Chant of the Jungle. A shout out to Joan doing that song in her first talkie.

This is just about the best minute and twenty-nine seconds of any dance sequence by anyone. Hopefully, Clark Gable didn't rub too much skin off his arm.

I want the whole movie

She sounds like Irene Dunne.

Just found her this is GOOD

I love being abke to watch her dance. She was my grandmothers aunt whos name was also Marilyn. I wish my grandmother could have been alive to watch you tube and see all of the information and clips of her dancing. She use to stay up late At night to watch one of her movies. She always spoke of her and was proud to have been her niece. She reminds me of my grandmother, her smile, figure and hair. My frandmother was also a dancer in local dances and such. I feel lucky watching these.

The guy leering into the camera, Joan flashing her privates, this movie has it all.

Kudos to the camera person. The close ups are brilliant.

It's the clumpy pre-Astaire/Powell style seen also in Ruby Keeler's first films- cute and amusing but not to be compared with the ethereal grace those two Imbibed from Bojangles and Bubbles. But Ellie had a lot in common with the older soubrette besides Jack Donohoe. Both had run-ins with the Shuberts, both starred with Fred, and both were given (as here) to combining taps with high kicking. Ellie was more disciplined but both crammed their short careers with hits. Critics raved about Marilyn (a concocted name she popularised) more than any Broadway gal except, maybe, Adele Astaire. There is a tribute to MM in the finale of Powell's 'Broadway Melody of 1938'. One of the names in lights on the backdrop is Marilyn's. She had died shortly before it was shot.

No, the tune to which Crawford dances, is "Accordion Joe". "Little White Lies" (change room scene) is another standard laced into the sound-track. After the costume change, then the tune to which the speakeasy patrons dance, is "Free and Easy". Like everyone commenting here, I'm also a Crawford fan. There is no denial, she had Star charisma, an ability to always enthrall her audience.

Amazing 🤗

One of my faves of Grandpa's and Cecil B. DeMille's work. Will be hosting screening events throughout the U.S. in 2020. Thank you for sharing, ray85milan! Just released the official biographical novel about Reginald Denny, Prince of Drones, which features some nice back story on this and his other films. Cheers!

My fabulous friend Andy brought me here and i am beyond grateful he did

Great voice control. soothing for ears. I am falling in love with these man day by day. amazingly versatile actor, extraordinary singer and very good looking. Ultimate package for Hollywood. Don't know why he remained so underrated till death. God bless his soul.

Her first talkie, and they made her sing and dance too. No pressure!

_lmao from the pinnacle to the pit_

Joan's "dance" moves in her early films consisted mostly of several expansive arm & leg gestures that she'd repeat several times before going to the next set.

Touted as a baritone, but I think he's really a tenor.

She was a brilliant performer, multi-talented and charming. Here she kind of looks like a combination of Shirley Temple and Eleanor Powell. Too bad she died so young, or she might have had a very long and storied career!

What talent! Miller is so cute.

Very handsome!

I wish this was in color. . .it must have been AMAZING to watch this live!
