Movie Reviews of Lady of Burlesque
Movie Review: The History of Cinema...
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is full of surprises. I saw it accidentally and thought it was much older than I discovered it is when looking it up on IMDb. It's like a peek backstage at a burlesque show where all of the aciton happens. It actually catches your interest and manages to hold it, because of these historical artifacts if nothing else.
For example, you'll be surprised to see Barbara Stanwyck dancing and doing it very well, in long full body shots that show it's actually her doing the dancing.
Next you'll see Pee Wee Herman...then realize it couldn't possibly be him and you realize it's Pinky Lee, the one who inspired Herman's career. You'll recognize all of the vaudeville routines from other comedians. Abbott and Costello's routines especially. All in all it's a film worth watching, and watch for the surprises as well. You'll never realize how much you owe to burlesque and vaudeville and how you have laughed all your life at jokes that were written long before any of us were ever born.
