Movie Reviews of Stage Door
Movie Review: Ah, the theater!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved this movie for years, rented it through Netflix and didn't want to give it back, and finally took the plunge and bought my own copy. I've already watched it three or four times and do not expect to get tired of it any time soon. The characters, all would-be actresses living in a New York boarding house, are distinct and interesting. There is humor, pathos, and an outstanding performance by a young Katherine Hepburn as a millionaire's daughter who doesn't understand just how vulnerable her housemates are to the whims and appetites of producers. The stellar cast includes Lucille Ball, Ginger Rogers, Adolphe Menjou, Eve Arden, and little-known performer Andrea Leeds in an Oscar-nominated performance as the actress who has the talent but not the resilient personality necessary for success in the theater. Just a great movie.
Summary of Stage Door
Movie DVDThis one's all about the ladies. In this absolutely terrific 1937 gem, a Manhattan boardinghouse for aspiring actresses houses an amazing roster of golden-era performers--some of whom, like their characters, were just breaking in. It's hard to say who's in best form here: Katharine Hepburn in blueblood mode, Ginger Rogers streetwise, Andrea Leeds suffering, Lucille Ball and Ann Miller impossibly young, and Eve Arden being, well, splendidly Eve Ardenish. The sassy comedy and sober life lessons are wonderfully mixed by the underrated director Gregory La Cava (My Man Godfrey), who captures the brashness of '30s female chatter in a much pleasanter way than the more famous The Women. Hepburn's sublime attempts to wrestle with the line about calla lilies being in bloom will make you smile long after the movie's over. --Robert Horton
