Featured review
Bill Cleaver (Grant Withers) is an expert dancer and he meets Molly (Sue Carol) at the dance club on the night of the big dance contest. They strike up a friendship and soon become partners....and end up winning the contest. However, something weird and unexpected happens next. It seems the dance club has planned a wedding that night as a publicity stunt...and the pair who are planning on marrying back out and it looks like the wedding is off. But Molly and Bill hate their living situations...and the couple who marry are to receive all sorts of wedding presents...including a home!! So, they impulsively decide to marry...and as you'd expect, their marriage is indeed problematic! What's next? See the film.
Despite having second-tier actors, the film is entertaining and enjoyable. However, "Dancing Sweeties" is a film that was later remade...though for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the remake and IMDB doesn't list this information on the page for "Dancing Sweeties"...but I clearly remember the same plot in another film. If you can remember the name of the remake, please drop me a line!

- TriviaAlthough included among the more than 700 features in the Warner Bros. library acquired for television broadcast by Associated Artists Productions (AAP) in 1956, this one was rarely taken off the shelf because of its age and lack of star names still familiar to audiences of the 1950s. Its earliest documented television broadcast took place in San Francisco-Oakland Saturday 30 August 1958 on Movie Matinee on KTVU (Channel 2). Today it's firmly entrenched in the Turner Classic Movies archives and was most recently taken out for an airing Wednesday 24 March 2021 on TCM.
