Here I am watching this film made over 90 years ago and getting more entertainment and joy than from any modern film. A remarkable quality of sound and picture but in this pre code masterpiece is Barbara. As others have said one of the greatest in a period that produced giants. Her acting is superb - even when not talking her face - natural reacting brilliant from hard boiled lines to true love. These old pictures have so much value even in the cynical world of today their morality simply told are perfect. Even the minor characters produce wonderful performances. The older I get the more out of my time I was born. The year this picture was made my grandparents were in their late 30s my parents children - it’s the era I should have lived in. Thank you to KZfaq for hopefully allowing youngsters to stumble across get interested and watch and learn. As for Barbara thank you as always for a nothing less than perfect performance ❤❤❤❤

Barbara Stanwyck was the greatest film performer of the 20th century . Never a single bad performance or a wrong note.

Barbara Stanwyck and Ricard Cortez... two of the most natural actors ever to grace a screen. No overacting, no pretense, they embody their character completely. Marvelous film, and nearly 100 years old!

What an exceptional, faultless and convincing actress Stanwick is. Ahead of her time.

Great movie. The early Barbara Stanwyck was a pleasure to watch. Her facial expressions were so natural, while Sally Blane practically over acted herself out of the movie. And let's not forget Ricardo Cortez. He brought something to every picture he made.

That was really well made technically for 1931. Barbara was such a dish...Venus with a Brooklyn accent...

She was known for her enormous generosity as a performer towards her peers onscreen, a Hollywood rarity. She did everything she could to make them look good, never upstaged anyone and was beloved for it.

BARBARA STANWYCK WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE ❤️

Absolutely loved this movie, except the ending stopped abruptly! I have to believe they lived happily ever after!! Stanwyck and Cortez were superb!!!!!

Great line, ‘I don’t love you, I don’t even think enough of you now to hate you.’

Such a good movie !! Barbara Stanwyck was always great!!

IT AMAZES ME HOW MOST OF THE OLD COLOMBIA FILMS ARE SO WELL PRESERVED..AND THE BIGGER STUDIOS DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN SAVING THEIR FILMS...SAD....ANY STANWYCK FILM IS GREAT TO WATCH...LOVED HER....

I loved her last line, “you’re not a man-you’re not even a good sample…” Now that’s a good line relevant even by today’s standards🤭😳Thank you for uploading this gem-💝❣️🥰😍❤️the best movies are from the 30’s to the late 50’s after that😜🤪😖

How could I say NO to such legends to Barbara Stanwyk ,. Jimmy Stewart , Joan Bennett , plus MANY MORE ? I love this film so much as I'm glad KZfaq has them for people like us to enjoy and appreciate . 💐

"You're not a man - you're not even a good sample!" What a great line and film!

She was an all rounder. She had a good sense of comedy timing. She is the star of 2 of my favourite black and white films, 'Meet John Doe' and 'Christmas in Conneticut'.

Beautiful movie, loved it. And that millionare actor was sooooo damn handsome.

Barbara Stanwick was was a great actress she could play just about any part. Love the ending.

Love any movie that the beautiful Barbara stanwick is in , thanks for the post

What a treat, how i love old classics, they are gems. Thank God they are so well preserved. thank you thank you.

BARBARA STANWYCK "Ten Cents A Dance" is First Class Acting bold for its time with BS perfectly cast as she always was totally believable ACTRESS/MOVIE STAR unsurpassed.

God I love these old classic movies, thanks for posting!!!!

Love Barbara Stanwyck!!!

very beautiful ☺️ classic with Barbara stanwyck I love ❤️ classics

Great movie. I remember her first when I was a kid from some western TV show but when I rediscovered her in her early movies I fell head over heels in love with her.

Barbara Stanwyck was young, gorgeous and talented!

~ Time continues to show that Barbara Stanwyck was truly one of the greatest of film actresses ~ Thank You for uploading this fine film ~

This was such a wonderful movie to just sit back and get comfortable, very relaxing. I wanted to see more of the end. Very entertaining

Thankfully because of reading a few posts below it prepared me for the abrupt ending! A phenomenal film from beginning to end! Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful timeless classic work of art! I would be quite interested to have a discussion with young people after having them SEE this film. I believe many important life lessons can be taught in quality films like this. I believe it could help many impressionable young people with stars in their eyes to become more grounded in their ideals of love success and marriage. Ironically when I used the expression just the other day; Take it on the chin baby...how this serendipitous delight of a film would become my reward for once again doing just that! Having gone out to L.A. at sixteen years old And actually experienced first hand for about a month working in one of these dance halls. Where they actually had to buy tickets to dance with you. I can share it was a terrible experience! 98.9 percent of the men were from other countries who did not speak a word of English but thank God they were the respectful ones. It was awkward but not threatening. The rest were creepy old American men who tried to hold you too close and they too said not a word that made them even scarier and creepier. There was probably a lot more seedy things going on behind the scenes with older dance hosts there that I'm sure went on. I was just too young and naive to bother to question what was really going on. This film was so wonderful that guy Eddie was nothing more then a two bit using cheating liar! I wish they would have added a scene where he is accusing her and the other woman walks in and busts him that would have been priceless! The fashions the men and women wore back then was so amazing! I'm glad this story gave two kind generous people the chance to be loved and be loved for themselves! :)

Barbara Stanwyck was special back then. Plays the role very subtle and vivacious. The male character is impatient..and a gambler.. and a thief. Interesting how her character tries to reason..

Love the lyrics ! And melody. Songs say a lot about the culture of the time!

Imposible no enamorarse de Barbara Stanwyck, siendo tan joven ya era una actriz excepcional, mereció mucho más reconocimiento y para mi la número 1.

Loved this film

Barbara Stanwyck was a top-notch actress who gave her all every time out. A class act, a gorgeous lady, and someone who was great in everything from her first movies to her last. Loved her in Double Indemnity and Ball of Fire. The perfect actress, IMO.

Beautiful movie 🎥! Loved it! Loved seeing a young Barbara Stanwyck!

Fantastic quality Barbara Stanwyck so Beautiful I fell for her in Ball of Fire.

Happy 90th anniversary to this movie!!!🎉

Love hearing st louis blues in the background. Great jazz My mother was a flapper. What fun!

Love the orchestra and all the early 1930's songs. Great

Barbara Stanwyck the Best of the best...That One in a Million

Babara Stanwych is unrecognisable to me in her youth days actings but slowly I recognized her acting style. 1930's was so early and am grateful I Could watch all these old movies here. Thank you👍🌹

I find her so beautiful - she looked so different than all these standard beauties

Gee, that was a swell movie! ;-D Thanks for posting it. Love Barbara Stanwyck!

My favorite films with Barbara were Clash by Night, Stella Dallas, My Reputation.

beautiful ☺️ classic with Barbara stanwyck I love 💕 classics

This is a wonderful film! I love it!

Cortez was Soooo beautiful!

great movie, really enjoyed the actors, thank you.

She was simply magnificent from the start.

Barbara was a self made woman! Brava!

Merveilleuse actrice... she was just a famous name to me, but now i understand why... thanks for this gem

Ahhhhhh love.🤪 Enjoyed another Barbara movie.

Anything early Stanwyck is true gold...glad i found this one ty for all the great movies& amazing finds..

Best dialogue ever. And Oh the wise cracks. I 💗 Film Noir

Barbara stanwick was one of the greatest... She is a masterpiece!

Stanwyck is the master of the arts of listening and timing., nuanced acting skills extremely difficult to accomplish convincingly,, in character, both onscreen and onstage; each a different technique requiring laser mental focus coupled with superior mental agility . She is brilliant at them and I love watching her do it. Seamless perfection in every performance, makes it appear effortless and never a misstep..

Thank you for this wonderful Barbara Stanwyck film!!!

Thank you so very much for saving these wonderful films , it was good lo see Barbara Stanwyck acting the nice woman's role because I hated her when I was young and she was such an incredible actress to make feel that ...plus she was terrifying in a couple of films and I had nightmares about her . Bravo .

" Eddie" was Monroe Owsley, one of the all-time great heels of the screen. See him in " Private Number" with Loretta Young, and" Through the Keyhole", Kay Francis. Great casting throughout in this one ( 10 Cents) ; even a fairly inspired turn by Sally Blane.

Love this film! Thank you Silver Screen Classics. One of the BEST ❤

Thank you Silver Screen🎬🎬🎬✨✨👍my parents were tiny babies when this was filmed

She is amazing! 👏👏👏 I don't generally care for anything made in the '30s, but this was great!

What a great movie!! Barbara is spectacular! ❤

Stanwyck at only 23-24 years was already polished actress and, very very soothing on the eyes. ❤❤ "Forty bucks a week ought to be enough for a dump like this." Good story. Good movie. Thank you.

Missy was the most beautiful actresses of all.

Barbara Stanwyck is so cute and innocent here. Way different from Double Indemnity where she's the ultimate bad girl.

oh no film freezes in the last minute ! impressive acting especially in her angry scene.

An authentic, heart-rending view into the beginning days of the Depression. All-in-all a nice copy for us, S-S-C! Thanks! And, for fans of this one, don't miss "Paper Moon." . : .

This actress was known for her thorough professionalism on the set, something that can't be said for a lot of the prima donna's of the Hollywood star system.

Thank you for sharing. Mom and I loved her movies. I enjoy this one, as it reminds me of Mom and Grandma Bessie. And I really liked Barbara in Shop Worn.

Totally amazed Barbara Stanwyck had a starring role as early as 1931!

I loved it.Good script, interesting dialogues. Enjoyed watching it. So happy it finished the way you wanted it to end!

Hard to believe, but Barbara was a STAR for 35 years in the movies when she started her stint on TV's THE BIG VALLEY. "Ladies of Leisure", made the year before shot her to stardom

Thank you for this Film. It's a gem. Really great performance. Written So long ago, the places seem strange, and yet the story is familiar . It's happening all around us every day.

Barbara Stanwyck is great in this

Barbara Stanwyck is one of the all-time greatest actresses. This film will soon be 100 years old, but she just leaps off the screen. She's so vivid, fresh, natural. Hard to believe she had her first onscreen role just 3 years before she made 'Ten Cents A Dance'. I think Barbara & Ricardo Cortez have GREAT chemistry here, but apparently he professed admiration for her but she wasn't such a fan of his acting skills. They starred together in 'Illicit' as well, which came out just a few months before 'Ten Cents'. They're both New Yorkers, of course, Ricardo was born Jacob Krantz & his younger brother is the extraordinary cinematographer Stanley Cortez (Stanislaus Krantz).

Wow, Eddie was a real bastard. $40.00 a week in 1931 was okay money. I don't know why his rent in the boarding house was $20.00 a week, unless it's because it included meals. Rent was typically around $20.00 a month, or you could rent a whole house for $40.00. Meals at a modest restaurant were around .25 cents.

Barbara Stanwyk was a 100 years ahead of her time. She will be studied for centuries.

I love 💗 all classics especially the real old old ones with Gloria Swanson

It's so interesting how major city's through out the World are so vastly contrasted against rural towns and villages no matter the decade, geography, peace or war.

There's our friend Mrs. Maxwell from Night Nurse - Blanche Friderici - she died only a couple of years after this was filmed.

Her 100.00 tip would be equal to about 1,500.00 in today's money!

Great movie to share..Thank you.

Excellent movie teaching character matters.

Good quality audio and volume for such an old movie. Thank You. 🎉

Much better Quality ,then from before! It is actually viewable!

Good pre-code. Stanwyck is fantastic. For anyone who watches this here and wants to see the very end (in poorer picture quality), you can see it on another video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJ6Yq9Cjx6-0qYU.html

"Missy" was 23 or 24 when she did this movie. She was superb in anything she ever did!

Wonderful, thanks!

Amazing

"Tens Cents a Dance" MTM episode "Rhoda the Beautiful" Phyllis sings the song telling the story of how she performed it for a talent part of a beauty pageant in her pre Lars marriage days. Now I know where the song came from.

Excellent movie!!! Had a film noir character about it n I love 💕 film noir!!! Barbara Stanwyck was very young n very captivating.. The ending was cool!!
