| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAs a piece of Hollywood history, the film's worth seeing, but it's no unsung masterpiece. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyArzner films it with fascination and enthusiasm, and the choreography is marked by the point of view of the spectators and the dancers' awareness that they're being watched. |
| User ReviewNikkiI Love This movie, Lucille Ball and Maureen O'Hara are the best actresses to watch :-) |
| User ReviewBruce BI love Lucille Ball and Maureen O'Hara and they were both awesome in this movie, I love the ending :-) |
| User ReviewJon SLucille Ball as a dancer named Bubbles. And so much more. |
| User Reviewdarryl clucille ball steals the film as shake dancer tiger lily white. she gets the best lines, the tackiest costumes and two of the most fun strip teases ever committed to film. |
| User ReviewJohn C[size=2]This is a nice RKO Radio Picture film. Lucille Ball plays a feisty sex kittenish dancer. She starts the movie out as Bubbles. Then works her way to Lillie White. By the end of the movie she?s Tiger Lillie White one of the hottest tickets on the Broadway stage. Maureen O?Hara plays Judy O?Brien a dancer that thinks there is a craft to dancing. She dreams of being a less flash and more technical ballerina. She ends up being the butt of Tiger Lillie?s showcase. The movie moves along pretty good and like most old movies in the end everyone gets what they want. One big old happy ending. Tiger Lillie White gets $50,000.00 from a divorce. The man she gets a divorce from goes back to his wife which he never really stopped loving (I?m really not sure why they were getting a divorce to begin with but oh well). Last but not least Judy get a job with a legit Ballet Company. Note You can find this movie on DVD and is part of the Lucille Ball film Collection Box set. [/size] |
| User ReviewWilliam WA really fun film that I found in my Maureen O'Hara TCM 4-pack that I highly recommend if you enjoy films from that era. I like the two films I've seen so far from Arzner, who was one of the earliest and most successful of female directors and I believe the first openly lesbian one--the other work I've seen of hers is the great pre-Code look at alcoholism, 'Merrily We Go to Hell'. This is great if you either like musicals from the era, are a Maureen O'Hara or Lucille Ball enthusiast (holy, she was unbelievably a knockout in her early filmic days!) or are simply curious about the works of early female and/or lesbian directors. Arzner--at least in the two films I have seen from her thus far--showed she truly deserved to be successful in the industry. |
| User ReviewSamantha SFantastic! Nothing like it today. An overt and amazing commentary on the woman's right to work with subtle insight into the self sabotage that keeps them from success. A definite studio movie in style and tone, but with some really modern, arresting moments thrown in. |
| User ReviewNate TFun musical fluff with O'Hara and Ball perfectly cast. |
