Dance Hall (1929)

흥미로운 사실

Dance Hall is a 1929 American pre-Code musical film directed by Melville Brown and written by Jane Murfin and J. Walter Ruben, based on the short story of the same name by Vina Delmar. The film centers a love triangle with a shipping clerk competing with a dashing aviator for the affections of a young taxi dancer. It was Radio Pictures' second to last release of the decade, and was a critical and financial flop.

Production

In February 1929, it was announced that Viña Delmar had been signed by RKO to write the story of Dance Hall. By the end of June, RKO had scheduled filming to begin on approximately August 1, 1929.

In September, The Film Daily reported that Melville Brown had been signed to a long-term contract by RKO, and that Dance Hall would be his first project with his new studio, and in early October, it was learned that J. Walter Ruben would be contributing to the script's dialogue.

While originally scheduled for August, filming on Dance Hall did not begin until mid-October 1929. After production began, a fire at Consolidated Film Industries, the laboratory developing the negatives, destroyed two days worth of filming. By November 20, filming on Dance Hall had concluded and the picture was being edited.

Dance Hall opened on December 15, 1929, at the Globe Theater in New York City, although the American Film Institute has it opening a day earlier.
