Rather than take a class studying the 1920s, flappers, silent films, and all the roar of the decade, you can save yourself some time and rent Our Dancing Daughters instead. Starring Joan Crawford, it follows a group of young men and women who go out on the town and party like it's 1928. Everything you've ever seen in old 1920s footage can also be seen in this movie.
A hilarious education in silent films, the opening shot is Joan Crawford's legs as she puts on her underwear. She prances around a full-length mirror in her chemise and panties, then selects a darling ensemble for the evening, complete with new perfume and a fur. Then, rattling off the latest jargon to her parents, she tumbles into the car with her other friends, and dances the night away. If you love Joan Crawford and have never seen her as a flapper, doing the Charleston, and tossing her curls as she laughs and flirts with a crowd of men, you've got to rent one of her silent films. She's so adorable! It's no wonder she was such a big star in the 1930s, since she was so cute in the tail end of the 1920s. Give this cute flick a chance, or rent Our Modern Maidens for an even greater treat.
