Why GO INTO YOUR DANCE is not as well known or appreciated or even screened as often as other Warners musicals of the 30s is a mystery to me because this film works well - with excellent and quite spectacular dance numbers. Four songs in particular "An Old Fashioned Custom" "She's a Latin From Manhattan" "A Quarter To Nine" and "Go Into Your Dance" are as catchy as any in the Berkeley films and the staging of the main nightclub scenes are right up there with what RKO was providing for Astaire and Rogers. This effervescent musical film even survives the clobbering behavior of Al Jolson romping about bellowing and squeezing everyone in between belting out songs. He is so obnoxious! I know he is legend but so leery and abrasive...yecch. Ruby Keeler in her last film is as delicious and normal as ever and looks great in taps on bare wood or in the glamor-puss scenes in full ballroom dress. Not seen on TV here in Oz for over 20 years, I occasionally run the tape (with terrible 80s ads) just to see how it is holding up. GO INTO YOUR DANCE never fails to entertain. I would love a DVD. This film much deserves to be discovered and shown as much as any of the other well loved 30s musicals from any studio.
