Review of Stage Door (1937) by Kenneth G — 14 Apr 2008
Five actresses living in a theatrical boarding house. Upper crust Kate Hepburn buts heads with hard-knocks hoofer Ginger Rogers. We get to see a young Lucille Ball; Eve Arden in a performance that solidified her persona as a wise-cracking best pal; and a fourteen year-old Ann Miller.
Andrea Leeds gives an Oscar-nominated performance as the down and out Kay, a brilliant starving actress on her last leg. The questions of, " Should we go into show-business?" and "How long should we keep trying before we get our break?" are explored.
Also, what can happen after that big break.
