Good news from our friends at the Robert Benchley Society:

Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone, and Robert Benchley in “Dancing Lady” available now on DVD

Watch for:

–Joan Crawford in a rare dancing role;

–Ted Healy and His Stooges presenting their physical humor in the same film with the dry wit of Robert Benchley (it’s so early a Stooges appearance that Curly is still being billed by his real name — Jerry);

–Film debut of Fred Astaire;

–File debut of Nelson Eddy;

–Early (uncredited) appearance by Eve Arden; and

–Grand musical finale with sets and choreography that MGM will recycle later in the decade for the Emerald City scenes in The Wizard of Oz.
