Dancing Lady
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

This 1933 Joan Crawford vehicle was smart and light enough to become the biggest hit of her early career. Crawford climbs the ladder from chorus girl to Broadway star while debating the relative merits of suitors Clark Gable and Franchot Tone. In the final production number, she gets an assist from a fresh-faced kid from New York--Fred Astaire, in his first screen appearance. 94 min.
