Today's episode is my conversation about the 1928 film Our Dancing Daughters. My friend Vicki Lesley from the Meandering Over the Pebbles newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about some incredible cinematography choices that absolutely merited a nomination in that category at the 2nd Academy Awards, how this film began Joan Crawford's rise to stardom, and subsequent films that have been influenced by Our Dancing Daughters.
