In OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS, Joan Crawford stripped to her teddy and tore into a Charleston powered by a zillion watts of sexual energy — and shocked the corsets and cravats off parents who'd heard disturbing rumblings of what their children were up to. But the younger generation couldn't get enough: they'd found their icon of Flaming Youth. Crawford became a star in this milestone silent about a good girl who hides her heart behind a party-girl mask and loses the man she loves to a gold digger. The film's portrait of a fascinating (and a bit frightening) breed of young women who match men drink for drink and vice for vice was so popular it bred two similarly themed movies: OUR MODERN MAIDENS and OUR BLUSHING BRIDES.
