Beaumont directed this preposterous MGM melodrama, starring Joan Crawford as a rich girl, just before Clark Gable became a star and thus could still play a gangsters

A wonderful little film on its own, but it's also a handy little primer of early-1930s genre conventions.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Look out, Jake Luva. That sinuous moll cuddling up to you on the dance floor isn't the floozy she seems. She's Bonnie Jordan, ex-society girl and current undercover reporter, investigating a murder that has your fingerprints all over it. She has what it takes, all right - to take you and your crime empire down.
As Bonnie and Jake, Joan Crawford and Clark Gable exude plenty of pre-Code sensuality in their first screen teaming. Gable is fifth-billed, but the moment he and Crawford go into a clinch, there is no question who in the film could match her star power. Crawford and Gable went on to make seven more films together. And each smoldered with the red-hot chemistry originally sparked in Dance, Fools, Dance.

Product Description:
An interesting early appearance by Gable as a bootlegger tangled up with spoiled rich girl turned reporter Crawford, who poses as a dancer in a nightclub. Depression-era potboiler enlivened with pre-Code violence and naughty glimpses of Crawford in her undies.
