Can anybody identify the dance they were doing in the opening scene? The film opens with some brief but beautiful cinematic dance moments. It's not nearly as well-shot or dynamic as some of the Lindy Hop footage that turns up later in the 20th Century. But it is some of the best dancing done by such staid characters Iv'e seen in an American movie. The American men danced like Europeans or South Americans.
It's all for naught though. That little two-step marijuana mania ultimately leads to lies, cheating, stealing, fighting, death and ironic tragedy.
I appreciate the plot devices employed by early directors who could not rely on CG and explosions every act. There is a nice bit of storytelling going on here in spite of the moralizing and slut-shaming.
