Description
 
Dangerous Curves: Circus life provides the framework of this drama that chronicles the love, life, and aspiration of a young circus waif. The aspiring star is learning to walk the high-wire with the young wire-walker she adores.

He loves another, his partner, but she is untrue to him. As a result he is almost on the edge of a breakdown. When she abandons him, he takes comfort in drinking too much. The plucky young girl tries to help him return to his former glory.

True to the Navy: Clara Bow's flat Brooklynese voice seems perfectly suited for the rowdy goings-on in True to the Navy. The "It" girl plays Ruby Nolan, owner of a drug store frequented by she-sick sailors. Each of the gobs assumes that he's the only man in Ruby's life, and when several of her boyfriends converge upon the pharmacy all at once, they tear the joint apart.

Undaunted, Ruby pursues a romance with seafarin' man Gunner McCoy (Fredric March), who comes in mighty handy when our heroine is victimized by crooked gamblers. The spectacle of distinguished actor Frederic March in sailor togs, chewing gum and dispensing sez-you dialogue, is worth the admission price in itself.

Another Clara Bow Must Have! March 10, 2010
Reviewer: Evan J. Chase from Toledo, OH United States  
When one mentions Clara Bow, I think of a sweet, sexy vivacious woman who was the rage of Hollywood during the silent and early sound era. This picture showcases her flirty talent so well! Don't miss her then husband Rex Bell as Eddie, one of her sailor boyfriends. She is indeed a female player in this picture and the backdrop of the drug store soda fountain is a lot of fun. Also livening up the proceedings is comedian Harry Green, as the Jewish stereotyped drugstore owner. Transfer of this rare title is very good, so don't miss it!

Be Captivated by Clara!!! March 10, 2010
Reviewer: diane byrnes from Brisbane, Queensland Australia  
I completely agree with Evan. Clara is
completely sweet in this film about a girl
with a "gob" from every port!!! When they
all hit town at once and find out she has
been leading them on, they decide to
teach her a lesson. Meanwhile she has
fallen in love with "Gunner" McCoy
(Frederic March) - a "love 'em and leave
'em" type of guy.
She sings a peppy, catchy song "There's
Only One" and sings it very well. I think
she is a natural as she changes the
tempo mid song. You will be captivated
by Clara!!!!
