Dancing Lady [1933, USA, musical, DVD9]

During one of Janie's performances as a dancer in a burlesque house, an audacious audience member snatches off part of her costume, leaving her almost topless. At that precise moment the police come and take all the dancers off to court on morals charges. The judge won't believe Janie's explanation of the situation and sends her to jail. Tod Newton, a rich man who was at the performance, springs her from jail, feeling attracted to her beauty; after hearing her story about longing to be a famous dancer, he wants to help her. Presitigious Broadway director Patch Gallagher is trying to set up a musical play but having monetary difficulties. Tod will get an audition for Janie, despite Patch's resistance. But the director accepts the girl, who's a quite talented dancer. Patch begins to feel attracted to Janie, who is working hard in the rehearsals and behaving well with the director. But Tod plans to propose to Janie, who doesn't see matrimony in her immediate or maybe further future. Besides, Patch is having a bad time; the production has stopped because of problems with the producers, and maybe Janie is having some feelings for Patch.
