BORN TO DANCE! What a great film. So much fun and so fast-paced! Love Me, Love My Pekingese is thrilling - even Buddy Ebsen is spot-on in this production! Don't miss it!

This review is from: Born to Dance DVD (1936) Eleanor Powell/ James Stewart - Lady Be Good (1941) Double Feature DVD (DVD)

These are such great films and very hard to find. Thank you so much. I had been looking for Born to Dance for a long while. Had never seen Lady be Good before, both were excellent and much enjoyed.
