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!
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 UA-cam 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 ❤❤❤❤
@@ssoldie5490 absolutely wonderful and my congratulations on a long life. Your and your parents had the best of Hollywood the truly great years the like of which we will never see again. The golden era leaves todays paltry and miserable offerings in the dust. The true greats are gone. 😍😍😍😍🥺
Sorry, although I've enjoyed her acting, usually in her very early roles where she plays strong, independent women, her range wasn't as great as Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis and Meryl Streep (definitely top three best actresses of 20th century). Stanwyck could play both drama and comedy equally well, but she always had a predictable fierce ( fighting mad) delivery as well as a sad (crying, etc) one. Not a lot of variation. Considered by the industry to be ranked 11 among top Hollywood actresses. Don't think this list includes the "younger" generation after mid century. A very skilled and strong performance in The Miracle Woman, yeah.👏👏
@@daphnelacroix8399 I disagree. Watch her in Stella Dallas or Double Indemnity. She's wonderful in Remember the Night, she hits all the notes but with restraint. I prefer Barbara's subtlety over Hepburn's affectation.
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.
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.
Absolutely loved this movie, except the ending stopped abruptly! I have to believe they lived happily ever after!! Stanwyck and Cortez were superb!!!!!
Aside from her nice callipygous figure 😏 pretty face and eyes, I find her voice and the way she speaks very lovely. Strong feminine womanly and there's feeling and expression in her words.
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 UA-cam has them for people like us to enjoy and appreciate . 💐
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😜🤪😖
Amazing how the "woke" generation say we need strong women in film. Strong for them is a woman fighting like a super man beating up dozens of thugs and gangsters. Real strength is portrayed by the likes of Barbara Stanwyck, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, and Joan Crawford, to name a few.

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.
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'.
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....
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.
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 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.
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..
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👍🌹
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.
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..
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).
@@user-wc7mo9uo9o Thankyou for yours! When I see a really good film like this on youtube, my reaction is just like when I walk out of a theatre after a really good film--I want to talk about it with someone, lol! It's fun to read others' reactions & impressions. Just an fyi--there's a really good b&w British drama from the 1950's that is a bit grittier take on the same premise as Ten Cents A Dance (woman falls in love with man who needs money). It's called The Flesh Is Weak: ua-cam.com/video/ajwVkK_77Rs/v-deo.html cheers!
johnnydtractive Hi, thank you for reference, I will watch it sometimes. Right now I am so into 1920 th silent! Never thought that I would love movies without any sound, because a while ago saw few short episodes with Chaplin but wasn't impressed. The language in subtitles can be so humorous and I understand now why only rich Americans used to go to movies those days /not just cost but language was tough on emigrants/. I just watched The Flapper and several more last week. I also like to read about actor or actress who left impression. Like Olive Thomas, Clara Bow. Wikipedia is great and then, some other articles would pop up.
@@user-wc7mo9uo9o Fabulous! I have never really given silent films a chance to make an impression on me. Just so many actresses & actors, directors, cinematographers, genres etc to track down in 'talkies' that I just never get around to watching silent films. But I love that you're immersed in them! I think it must develop different skills as an audience. And I bet the visual storytelling techniques are probably superior even than in talkies, because virtually everything has to be told visually. Maybe I'll try a silent film or two--since I like films that focus on women, would The Flapper be a good place to start? If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Cheers!
johnnydtractive Hi, o yes, that was my second silent movie to watch, and I was hooked! Just make sure you watch UA-cam option without any sound since apparently it's another copy with weird contemporary music added on, and people were complaining. You will love the humour, I guarantee, plus you will see that they actually do speak - you will see that very clear and even understand , Just without sound.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
She didn't want anyone else to take her parts on her films, so she is insisted in being very responsible. The crew loved her and called her Missy. I read all biography books on celebrities.
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
" 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.
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: ua-cam.com/video/f8hxmrbIPyQ/v-deo.html
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.
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.
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." . : .
"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.
I'm convinced that wasn't the end of the movie. The kiss wasn't over and the music was still playing. For some reason it was cut off.But we knew where it was going!
Sure wasn't I wish had have my adopted mother even though I wasn't born til March 19 1963 I cry. Every.time I see her especially on Big Valley . My mother yes !!! I still luv ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ her
The movie kept stopping, pausing like a hiccup. I hope it can be fixed, maybe reloaded. It was worth watching. I love it. Thank you for all the movies you gift us. ❤️❤️💋
Barbara Stanwyck was a class apart .. As good an artists as hollywood ever had. Her films'double indemnity ' and 'interenes don't get money'are exceptional

And they lived happily ever after 😂 too bad about The End
What an exceptional, faultless and convincing actress Stanwick is. Ahead of her time.
A multifaceted performance especially for the early talkies era. She was a natural!
Multitalented, too.
A product of her time as were all the actors in these movies.
A gifted talent.
Aside from her nice callipygous figure 😏 pretty face and eyes, I find her voice and the way she speaks very lovely. Strong feminine womanly and there's feeling and expression in her words.

Her 100.00 tip would be equal to about 1,500.00 in today's money!
My Grandma made $15 a week .
Do the math.
She was lucky to have a job .
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.
What a great movie!! Barbara is spectacular! ❤
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."

Barbara Stanwyck is great in this
I love 💗 all classics especially the real old old ones with Gloria Swanson
"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.
Cliché, yes; but Miss Stanwyck was in a class all her own. She must now be in a part of Heaven all her own.
10 cents a dance and a quarter admittance to the club. You cant even buy bubblegum for that today
There's our friend Mrs. Maxwell from Night Nurse - Blanche Friderici - she died only a couple of years after this was filmed.
Much better Quality ,then from before!
It is actually viewable!
i love that it ends as soon as they kiss. nothing more to see here. you got your love story. classic.
I'm convinced that wasn't the end of the movie. The kiss wasn't over and the music was still playing. For some reason it was cut off.But we knew where it was going!
Sure wasn't I wish had have my adopted mother even though I wasn't born til March 19 1963 I cry. Every.time I see her especially on Big Valley . My mother yes !!! I still luv ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ her
Really great movie. Dialogue did not seem stilted, in fact quite realistic.
Good quality audio and volume for such an old movie. Thank You. 🎉
What an amazing love a woman can have for a man I want a ride or die best bud like that what a great movie
The movie kept stopping, pausing like a hiccup. I hope it can be fixed, maybe reloaded. It was worth watching. I love it. Thank you for all the movies you gift us. ❤️❤️💋
Excellent movie teaching character matters.
It seems everyone is suspicious about Eddie but his wife.
Barbara Stanwyck was a class apart .. As good an artists as hollywood ever had. Her films'double indemnity ' and 'interenes don't get money'are exceptional
Barbara plays Barbara. In 1939 Lucy played Lucy in "Panama Lady" which is a better movie than it's reputation.
Minha querida favorita Barbara Stanwick... Amo!
At first I thought Monroe Owsley was out of character but he came true to his character a cad/bastard. Didn’t disappoint me.
