In the late 1930s, dance marathons were banned in many States due to numerous deaths. But the desire to get rich quickly for several years pushed people to take part in merciless marathons. dance marathons became a really bloody business, but in spite of all prohibitions, they continued to hold until the US entry into world war II. At the moment the only film showing the horror and barbarism of the dance marathons (and indeed the only film on this subject) is still “They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"Sydney Pollack, shot in 1969. This is a relaxed version of a much tougher book by Horace McKay, written in 1935
