Dangerous Curves

Pat Delaney rides bareback in a small circus and loves a man who walks the high wire and drinks, and takes over the act when he cannot go on. Clara Bow's second talking picture, and the main interest is watching a silent star learn a new instrument on the job: the recording catches the Brooklyn in her voice, which the studio had feared and audiences did not mind. Richard Arlen is the wire-walker, Kay Francis his partner who has him and does not want him. Lothar Mendes for Paramount, 1929.
