A whirlwind courtship follows a whirl around the dance floor, and as the favorite contestant in a dance cottage, this leads to that whirlpool known as matrimony. This delicious pre-code musical comedy may be slightly creaky as an early talkie, but thanks to fantastic dialog and the performances by Sue Carol and Grant Withers, this not only snaps, crackles and pops, but sizzles!
It's the jazz age come to life filled with that leg moving music that makes the toes tap and the heart race. Of course, the older generation is perplexed by the sudden news, with Kate Price a marvelously imperious mom for Carol, while Margaret Seddon, as Withers' mom, is a total sweetheart. That's not the case with Tully Marshall as his dad, giving a truthful air to these strangers family dynamics. Add in Carol's two sisters, and there's enough conflict to cover their first hundred years.
Set in acts like a passing calendar, this shows the conflicts that arise with or without the aide of family, but the flower of youth will survive as long as they work at it. Some great dance numbers show the steps of the day, and a few songs add to the romance. Carol and Withers may be secure today, but it's their non-star status that makes this much more of an unforgettable surprise. Eddie Phillips, as a rival dancer named "Needles", and Sid Silvers provide the conflict and the comedy.
