Ten Cents a Dance - 1931 ***

 
Barbara has a rather demeaning job working at a dance hall being paid 10 cents to dance with various men for the length of one song. She does a favour for her neighbour Eddie whom she has a soft spot for but has also caught the eye of a wealthy admirer named Bradley who wants to lavish her with gifts and money. Eddie is rather fond of gambling however despite marrying Barbara and attempting to be a good husband he has racked up a lot of debt and been unfaithful. Barbara, feeling she has nowhere to turn, confides in Bradley...
Rather well done, and I especially enjoyed the theme tune, so catchy!
