Review of Dance, Girl, Dance (1940) by John C — 03 Jul 2007

[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.
