Review of Lady of Burlesque (1943) by Lanning : — 26 Jan 2008

The only date I make with comics is the Sunday morning funny papers. Gee, if only my ex-true love had felt the same way. She bypassed me for a professional comedian. I kid you not. As a result, I've been working on my routine ever since -- you know, just in case.

If I've learned anything from the whole mess, I gotta say it really is hard to write your own jokes. Damn, flixster friends, do you think Barbara Stanwyck might have a grand-daughter on flixster? If so -- Yo, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter, if you actually exist and you're reading this: Aloha! If you're single, this is a genuine marriage proposal.

Don't worry about the singing (if it's inherited); we can work on that. If you're interested, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter, please flixster message me ASAP! I pretty much log in daily.

Yea, verily, I promise you the moon -- and then some . . . You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter.

And -- I must ardently reiterate -- then some : ).
