Go into Your Dance

Go into Your Dance is a 1935 American musical drama film starring Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler, and Glenda Farrell.

Molly introduces Al to Duke Hutchinson, a gangster who is willing to back the club as a showcase for his wife, Luana Wells, a torch singer who wants to make a comeback.

New opening titles were added which gave Jolson a solo over-the-title billing, as well as a written prologue to ensure audiences that the film took place in 1935.

This film, a famous early musical, includes the numbers "About a Quarter to Nine" and "Latin From Manhattan" sung by Al Jolson.

Dance director Bobby Connolly received an Academy Award nomination for his work on the "Latin from Manhattan".

Other songs with music and lyrics by Harry Warren and Al Dubin include: The New York Times movie review said: "On the debit side of the picture's ledger, one must report a dearth of comedy, a certain dragginess as the film reaches its half-way mark and Miss Keeler's not altogether successful attempt to do the rhumba, the tango and other "Spanish" dances.

On the credit side are the Warren-Dubin songs, the absence—mark this!—of overhead shots of the chorus, Helen Morgan's rendition of "The Little Things You Used to Do", and Mr. Jolson.
