Our Modern Maidens (1929)


OUR MODERN MAIDENS  (1929)  
¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Jack Conway
    Joan Crawford, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Rod La Rocque,
    Anita Page, Josephine Dunn, Edward Nugent
Crawford and Fairbanks play jazz babies engaged to be married. Complications crop up on the way to the altar. The follow-up to Crawford's star-making vehicle, "Our Dancing Daughters", with Joan perfectly cast as a girl who's willing to trade what she's got to get what she wants, making up in brashness and pizzazz what she lacks in technique. Crawford and Fairbanks were a couple in real life when they made this.
