Bolero (1934)
Director: Wesley Ruggles
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Ravel's mesmeric theme provides the inspiration for this largely undistinguished tale of an exhibition dancer's rise to fame and fortune. Raft at his most wooden (from the waist up), Lombard at her most decorative (all over), a dumb script, and much early '30s decolletage (before the Hayes Code was strictly enforced).Author: RM
