harwee h @RT06454255 Dec 28, 2023 Passsable entertaining mystery film, with the significant portion of the film spent on stage performances which are pretty tame even for 1940s burlesque. Barbara Stanwyck is the attraction of course, she's always fun to watch. See more Steve D @RT35616104 May 29, 2023 All it really has is Stanwyck and that is enough. See more Mar 29, 2022 One of the most delightful movies ever made, a tour de force for Stanwyck, slinking around the stage like a retired Ziegfeld Girl from Brooklyn to the manner born, and for her utterly charming co-star "comic", Michael O'Shea. Probably the best thing Micky ever did on film deploying his considerable abilities.

Stanwyck was coming off The Lady Eve, Meet John Doe and Ball of Fire and choose this silly script because the grindhouse setting was dear to her heart given that's how she got her start in showbiz. If you can't stomach the whole film, but are a Stanwyck fan, at least watch her singing and dance routine near the top of the film. She's not good at the singing or dancing, but has that "it" factor that makes the scene a pleasure. Also note how director Wellman was forced to film her from the waist up during the number's bump and grind points. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 Oct 18, 2018 Lady of Burlesque is an okay film. It is about the murder of a burlesque dancer and the other performers trying to find her killer. Barbara Stanwyck and Michael O'Shea gave decent performances. The screenplay is a little in places. William A. Wellman did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor and mystery. See more Sep 7, 2017 Have they colorized it? Ugh. Don't watch colorized movies, people. See more Read all reviews
