One Dress a Day Challenge
February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks
Dancing Lady / Joan Crawford as Janie "Duchess" Barlow
It's always weird to me to remember that Joan Crawford was in musicals. Even weirder to remember that Fred Astaire's screen debut was with her!
I particularly like the gown in the bottom photo; it's pure distilled 1930s, with the ruffled skirt and the broad, feathered shoulder silhouette. The backlit effect in the top photo is interesting and makes it look like the dress is nearly transparent; but I suppose even in the pre-code era, they wouldn't go that far...
Just found another photo. Never mind.

Ramsey’s Dancing Ladies

Photographing these orchids for me often meant isolating a few of the flowers and choosing an angle where they would stand out and apart from the messy clusters. A dark backdrop such as the one used here would probably also helped.

Dancing Lady ist ob der lustigen Chemie zwischen Gable und Crawford durchaus sehenswert, aber für seine Thematik und dafür, daß es Fred Astaires Filmdebüt ist, ein verblüffend schlechter Tanzfilm. Die gute Joan tanzt naja, um mit Dolly Levi zu sprechen: “The Word I think I’d use is athletic.” Vielleicht brauchte Fred, um dann richtig abzuheben eben doch noch Ginger (dabei heben sie in seiner Nummer hier ab. Auf einem fliegenden Teppich! Er landet in einem bayerischen Biergarten. Ich erwähne außerdem immer gerne die Unterwasserszene.)

“Furthermore, he always dances with her one more time than is considered de rigueur…
…considering how many husbands don’t like to dance with their wives at all, this is romantic stuff, indeed.” - LADY WHISTLEDOWN’S SOCIETY PAPERS, 10 JUNE 1814
