It definitely takes that dark turn (it's the Depression, after all), but it's so good on the camaraderie of the theatre. You get the struggle and discouragement, the mixture of rivalry and support, a world full of unconventional, unusually independent (though sometimes naive) women that's still run by exploitative men. (Less so today, but only somewhat.) Fun to see Ginger Rogers play such a tough character, and baby Lucille Ball. Apparently it's very different than the stage version - a lot of the movie dialogue was improvised, something they wink at in the play at the end. Also the lines about the flowers in that play are from an actual stage show Hepburn was in, years earlier, in which she got bad reviews for being wooden - Dorothy Parker said Hepburn's emotional range "ran the gamut from A to B." By the time of this movie she had already had some success (mostly thanks to Little Women), though not yet securely. She has a lot in common with her character here, as an actress with a much snootier background than many of her peers. There is that suspicion of slumming, but she commits herself so sincerely that those differences fall away - a very American fantasy. Loved your reaction - this was just what I needed tonight, thanks!

Hey, guys. Want to check and ask BEFORE I do this. Are we good to purchase another film when our next one is still in the queue? Or would you rather I wait until you watch the current movie to help ensure that everyone has opportunities to pick films?

Someone bought 10 movies at once. It's totally up tp you!

Love this movie!

Such a young Lucille Ball plus Katherine Hepburn & Ginger Rogers! What's not to like. Edit to add: I wrote this as I started watching & I didn’t remember Kaye’s death. I mainly remember being blown away by Terry’s post tragedy delivery of “The calla lilies are in bloom again…”🔥🥀

Ten, whoa. More power to them. Bought two more.

Oh btw the director is Gregory La Cava, not really a big auteur but did some cool stuff - most of all the absolute BANGER, My Man Godfrey with William Powell (The Thin Man), which you guys should definitely watch. One of the definitive Depression movies and one of the definitive screwballs.

What a movie, yes, very dark in the writing and no punches pulled look at the world of theatre at the time, but also with some great levity and performances. And what a cast of incredible actresses, a lot of them pretty much in the earliest stages of their careers. I remember seeing it several times in the good old days when one of our tv networks would screen old movies every Saturday afternoon. Knowing what happens to Kaye that scene with her and Katherine Hepburn just before she leaves for the theatre when she says ‘I’ll be there in spirit’ was just chilling to rewatch. Then that stunning shot of her going up that staircase in a trance, with the shadow on the wall is brilliant film making and cinematography. Adolphe Menjou did a wonderful job of playing the odious, heartless sleazy Anthony Powell preying on all those ‘girls’. Ginger Rogers was brilliant in her character, pre becoming the often lightweight sort she played in the musical stage of her career with Fred Astaire. Love seeing her and the fabulous tap dancing Ann Miller working together and a 25 year old Lucille Ball long before the ‘Lucy’ days. My favourite though is the droll Eve Arden and her fabulous cat! That puss stole every scene it was in, especially draped around her neck. Great to see you guys watching these old classics and especially the black and whites.

Ann Miller was 14 yrs old in this movie. She lied about her age. Kathrine and Ginger helped to keep her secret.

Oh my goodness! I love this movie. My daughter played the Kathrine Hepurn part in her senior year high school musical.❤️❤️

Can I throw in a suggestion for a great classic rom com from 1953- How to Marry a Millionaire with Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe!

Gail Hislop

Oh wow! I hadn’t realised she was that young. She’s one of my favourite dancers in the musicals, along with Cyd Charisse

Never saw this before $13 a week rent? Seems high...Peggy Olsen only made $35 a week as a secretary in 1960 in Season 1 of Mad Men...and Don Roberto charged much less to the widow in Godfather II

Like you - I am pretty naive about 1930s movies and the ones you've done on the channel seem to all be hyperkinetic..have had to stop them and rewatch later since they seem to have been written by people on meth or acted by people on meth... They aren't bad, per se, just frantic and exhausting. Is it me?
