Loom out, Jake Luva! That sinuous moll cuddling up to you on the dance floor is not the floozy she seems. She's Bonnie Jordan, ex-society girl and 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".

I know nothing about this film, but the bonus feature "Hollywood the Dream Factory" in HD is worth the price of the disc just on its own. This documentary was made in 1972, a year after the famous (and tragic) MGM auction. The hour long story chronicles the downfall of the studio, the auction itself and destruction of the backlot sets. This is the ultimate goodbye to a studio that reigned supreme over Hollywood for decades.
Someday, I hope they can upgrade the terrible dvd transfer of the other fantastic doc hosted by Patrick Stewart called "When the Lion Roars". This later doc may have permanent quality issues as it appears to be recorded on SD video rather than film.
