Rumba (1935)
If you didn’t know George Raft (also known as the man who turned down Casablanca) got his start as a ballroom dancer, you’ve got to rent one of his early movies, in which he shows off his dancing skills. I picked Rumba because I thought any movie full of rumba dances couldn’t be bad.
Well, the laugh’s on me. This movie is really stinky. George Raft may be very handsome, and it’s fun to see him flapping his legs during a few specialty numbers with the beautiful Margo, but if you’re actually looking for a good movie, this isn’t it. Carole Lombard costars as a society girl who accidentally annoys George by winning a lottery ticket he got swindled out of. Later when she sees him dancing at a nightclub, she likes the way he moves and asks for private lessons. That’s about it. You can watch it if you want to, but have another movie handy for a double feature.
