Our Dancing Daughters stars Joan Crawford, Johnny Mack Brown, Anita Page, Dorothy Sebastian, Nils Asther, and Eddie Nugent in this 1928 silent film. The film is about twenty somethings enjoying their lifestyles but when love is thrown into the mix, hearts will be broken. Diana Medford(Crawford) is a fun loving free spirit, who enjoys life and the things it brings along. When Diana is at a party, she meets the wealthy and handsome Ben Blaine(Brown) and the two have an immediate attraction for one another. While Diana has her eye on Ben, Ben's eyes catch gold digging Ann(Page), who wants to snag the wealthy Ben. Thinking, that Diana is too much of a free spirit, he marries Ann instead, thinking she is a more stable girl. He is very off! Ann just wanted to be married to him for the money and her Mother helps to push her into a life filled with unhappiness. Ann goes into the situation as a bit of naive girl with her Mother controlling every situation. When she realizes, that Ben and his money isn't what makes her happy, it's too late and the film ends in tragedy for her. As many times, as I've seen this movie, I never grow tired of it. It's a film with much more depth than what it seems to present. I really prefer watching Joan in her younger years from the late 1920's to the early to mid 1930's. She excels amazingly in this film but someone snags the film away from her - Anita Page. At just 19 years old, Anita had an enormous amount of talent and she does wonderfully as Ann. I also love seeing Eddie Nugent. Seriously, I could watch a movie with just him and his silly expressions. He's so goofy!
