Curiosidades

Dancing Co-Ed is a 1939 American screwball comedy film directed by S. Sylvan Simon and starring Lana Turner, Richard Carlson, and Artie Shaw. The plot involves a college dance contest staged by a film producer whose lead star has unexpectedly dropped out of his film upon discovering she was pregnant. The film marked Turner's first starring role, and features early uncredited appearances from Veronica Lake, Dick Winslow, and Robert Walker.

Production

Dancing Co-Ed was adapted from a 1938 story by Albert Treynor published in American Magazine, which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer originally purchased the rights to as a planned vehicle for Eleanor Powell. The project was shelved for approximately a year before producer Edgar Selwyn revived it, casting Lana Turner in the lead.

Stars Turner and Shaw were married shortly after making the film, but the marriage ended in divorce within four months.
