This is the second movie ( possibly more ) I have seen Jack Oakie play a band leader. Ironically in real life he was functionally deaf. That never seemed to hamper his abilities to be a fine player in movies.
I am a professional dancer myself. My Dad used to win dance contest at Roseland too. So it runs in the family. That's why I have a Facebook group for George Raft because he was a fantastic self-taught dancer. I also have another YT Channel just for George's dance clips I have edited. You may want to look at those too. Here's the link: th-cam.com/channels/ChkoRKEV8E9Adj_jUng07g.html
You also may want to join Georges Group the link is in the description above, :-) George brought the Tango, the Rumba, and the Bolero to American movies.
@@smitajky Fred Astaire dance studio's is still around. I was a professional dancer I still dance but at least you are not a sour puss you love to watch people dance. I'm happy to hear that. ; -) Keep on Truckin'
Enjoyed the negative socio metrics and insensitivity to a wayward woman's heart. The way it ends is karma Good for her! Great movie 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿. The cast was outstanding.
No doubt one of the best pre-codes I've seen. Cast, story, direction, is top notch. Miriam Hopkins and many more pretty faces. Dirty rats and gold diggers with an assortment of eager spenders. Dozens of swell kids, two live bands, no breaks, no waiting. Those 'respectable' dance halls were some glorified meat markets! At least, everyone dressed nice. 🙂Thanks Hollywood Golden age. A keeper.
New favorite pre-code movie! Cast, story, direction, is top notch, totally agree with that! Really cool to see the band playing shows and also behind the scenes. Only one hour and 12 minutes for a noir/romance/comedy/drama 🎬
Pre code...sexuality was rife; ladies asses! It was NOT lost to the Directors...please dont hate me...it's just innate in MEN; psychology USED to GOOD effect!
Yes, it is it was also the first part to "My Silent Love". Both beautiful songs this was the first time it was used in a movie. I will be uploading the song in a screensaver I made of the dance scene in this movie on my other Channel for George Raft's dance clips. Stop in its th-cam.com/channels/ChkoRKEV8E9Adj_jUng07g.html
Hopkins possesses sublime inward beauty that sizzles outwardly at a simmer. She is exquisite, draping herself in slender ripples wherever she turns and moves I can hardly imagine how beautiful she she must have been at 20 and not here at 30.
LOL. In the rehearsal scene, I'm diggin' the the 'head gear' the band is wearing. Sheesh! And we complained about knit ties and matching jackets, (Late 1950s)
Thank you for all the work you’ve done to prepare this great old classic for people to enjoy ! God Bless you and your family .❤️🙏🇨🇦
Thank you and bless you for such a nice compliment.
I LOVE ALL GEORGE RAFT MOVIES PLEASE PUT MORE ON ESPECIALLY THE MUSICALS LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

Two songs are really great here.
Thank you for this awesome movie
So glad that you’ve taken the time to share this great movie!
Thanks I'm glad you stopped in to watch it and comment.
George Raft, Jack Oakie and Miriam Hopkins. Very nice!
Thank you for these lovely movies about dancers. I do ballroom and I love learning the 1930s variations of the Fox Trot, Tango, etc. Thanks again!

Jack Oakie & George Raft ~ Terrific Cast! Thanks for this wonderful film💞
Good,fun, entertaining movie.Thank You,for showing it.
this just great love the music lyda roberti a favorite who is sing for jack oakie i woner
I don't know. These older movies gave less info in the credits. I like the music too.
Loved watching this movie ❤️
Miriam Hopkins was Ernst Lubitsch's favorite Actress. They certainly worked well together.
THE OLD FOLKS,WERE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A rare chance to she the legendary Lyda Roberti-she steals the show. A fairly good print, too.
Glad I could give you that chance to see her. What part did she play?
The Warsaw born actress, who died at 31 of heart failure, plays Fanny W. TY for your efforts with these films. v
Watched again love it!!! Sarah
really a sweet movie where love and loyalty win!
I wish men enjoyed dancing now like they did then!
That was because it was one way to hold a girl, now everyone hope into bed right away, no need for preliminaries 😉
If I could dance at all I would enjoy dancing. Waltzes, tangos etc. Not modern shaking to the music. Alas I have never learned to do it properly.
@@NaveDelAmor WOW tell it like it was. LOL

My Dad taught me ballroom dancing and I'm glad he did. Ballroom and Tango is still being done in certain clubs. I've gone to those dance places.
I ❤ George and Miriam great actors👍
I do not believe Hopkins was ever more delicate, sweet, and wholly winsome than here. I fell in love.
I agree how nice it would be for a romantic evening out to find an Elegant Gent who likes to dance and to find a place to Dance!

Check out Miriam 30 years later in "The Children's Hour," if you haven't already. Did a wonderful turn in a supporting role.

@@KenistylessIt still made no sense?????😕
Just when Screenplays were coming into their own...well written...
The opening music is Jazz Nocturne by Dana Suesse.

I think this is the first time I've seen Raft without his trademark middle part.
2:25 The tune they're trying to play is "Music in My Fingers."
Thanks, I thought it was "gotta it eat your spinach, baby".:-)
Singer
Meaning?
Not a bad flick...
"All Saxophone players are screwy" nice laugh being a saxophone player
LOL. In the rehearsal scene, I'm diggin' the the 'head gear' the band is wearing. Sheesh! And we complained about knit ties and matching jackets, (Late 1950s)
This is a tough one to follow. I wouldn't say its a bad film, its just... As scatterbrained as that blonde, but, that said I find her likeable lol.
🥺💔👍🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻💯✨️💰🙋🏻♀️🇵🇪23/7/24.
the dialogue sucks
