History Film / OurDancingDaughters

* {{Hypocrite}}: Ann tries to shame Diana when she catches her and Ben sharing a tender moment despite the fact that she's been cheating on Ben with Freddie almost since the start of their marriage.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Not a single one of these young twentysomethings seem to need to work, instead being supported by their wealthy families. Justified in the case of Ben who apparently has inherited millions.

* BlondesAreEvil: Ann is the only blonde girl in the cast and is a total bitch.

* {{Twenties Bob|Haircut}}: All the women have one.
* YourCheatingHeart: Ann is cheating on Ben almost as soon as they're done with their honeymoon.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A meta example with the lead actress. Young, fresh-faced, beautiful Joan Crawford is quite a contrast to older, brassy, pancake makeup Crawford.

StarMakingRole for Crawford, who had gotten a couple of LoveInterest parts with MGM but became one of the biggest actresses at the studio with the success of this film. Followed by ''Our Modern Maidens'' and ''Film/OurBlushingBrides'', which weren't sequels (there was no continuity) but dealt with similar themes, all starring Crawford as a young woman in New York finding love and romance.

* 20sBobHaircut: All the women have one.

* ThematicSeries: First of three films starring Joan Crawford as a young woman in New York falling in love, followed by ''Our Modern Maidens'' and ''Film/OurBlushingBrides''.
