Eleanor Powell plays a young dancer who is hoofing her way to the top. On her way she makes friends with Una Merkel's wisecracking comedy character and loves Jimmy Stewart's character.

The review of this Movie prepared by darryl clark




Born to Dance is a musical from 1936 about a navy sailor who falls in love with an aspiring dancer. The romance halts due to a publicity stunt created by the highly dislikable Broadway star, Lucy James. A fun treasure featuring singing by a very young Jimmy Stewart, and some terrific dancing by Buddy Ebson and Ellie Powell!
