Joan Crawford once famously proclaimed that she loved playing bitches. But back in 1928, in Our Dancing Daughters, the film that made her a star, Crawford played quite a different role: a jilted roaring ’20s party girl. And you can see that movie for free this week, as well as experience a video art installation and join in a political open mic night.
