They shoot horses don't they

In McCoy's stunning portrait of poverty and powerlessness during the Great Depression, two struggling young actors risk everything to participate in a dance contest as their last-ditch effort at survival in Hollywood. When a dance marathon craze sweeps the country, Hollywood film extras Robert and Gloria join dozens of other desperate young men and women to compete in a multi-day, dance-till-you-drop spectacle. Most dancers are hoping to get noticed by major movie studios. But as live audiences cheer and jeer, bodies drop, fists are thrown, and the trendy contest quickly becomes a cutthroat nightmare for its participants.

  • "The depression of the 1930s led people to desperate measures to survive. The marathon dance craze, which flourished at that time seemed a simple way for people to earn extra money dancing the hours away for cash, for weeks at a time. But the underside of that craze was filled with a competition and violence unknown to most ballrooms. A lurid tale of dancing and desperation: Horace McCoy's classic American novel captures the dark side of the 1930s."@en

  • "Příběh mladé dvojice, která hledá východisko z neutěšených sociálních poměrů Ameriky třicátých let tohoto století v jednom z tanečních maratónů - jež byly typickým jevem Ameriky té doby - od něhožalespoň minimální existenci. První prózu u nás neznámého amerického autora (1697-1955) znají čtenáři z filmového zpracování."
