Dance, girl, dance

DVD - 2020

Dorothy Arzner, the sole woman to work as a director in the Hollywood studio system of the '30s and early '40s, brings a subversive feminist sensibility to this juicily entertaining backstage melodrama. A behind-the-footlights look at friendship, jealousy, and ambition in the ruthless world of show business, Dance, Girl, Dance follows the intertwining fates of two chorus girls.
