Our Blushing Brides is a 1930 American drama film starring Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery, Anita Page, and Dorothy Sebastian.
The film is a follow-up to Our Dancing Daughters (1928) and Our Modern Maidens (1929), which also starred Joan Crawford, Anita Page, and Dorothy Sebastian. The two previous installments in the series were both silent films, while Our Blushing Brides is a sound film which was a relatively new aspect to motion pictures. The fact that it features audible dialogue was an advertising point mentioned on the movie poster.
Our Blushing Brides was Crawford's thirty-first film (of eight-six total), but only her fourth sound film. Crawford plays Gerry, a shopgirl in love with the heir to a department store where she works. With this film, MGM began to develop a more sophisticated image of Joan Crawford, rather than continuing to promote her flapper girl persona of the silent era.
Famous quotes containing the words blushing and/or brides:
“Short is the glory of the blushing rose,
The hue which thou so carefully dost nourish,
Yet which at length thou must be forced to lose.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
I write of youth, of love, and have access
By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
