Joan Crawford was THE flapper.
People who know her from her padded-shoulder days might not know she was well known as a dancer in the early days of her career and of motion pictures.
She was very watchable, usually, and certainly so in "Our Dancing Daughters." Anita Page was paired with Crawford often, but here she is a not very likable character. Too bad, but she is very good in the role.
In a more agreeable part, Dorothy Sebastian is very likable, and very pretty.
Nils Asther is cast in a not too sympathetic role, too, and Johnny Mack Brown, still better known for his cowboy roles, also plays a dumb man and the two of them make us wonder what women see in us anyway.
Frankly, the film is predictable in its plotting, but the people are worth watching.
The version I saw was on Turner Classic Movies, and the soundtrack was rather annoying. One particular vocal recording was played over and over and over and became very intrusive.
I recommend watching it for its historical value, but can't imagine wanting to see it more than once.
