Product Description:
Lady of Burlesque (Enhanced) 1943 starring Barbara Stanwyck
This film has been enhanced using a Video Enhancement Program that reduces noise and enhances video quality.
Performers at an opera house turned burlesque theater in New York are starting to die. First it is Lolita, who is found in a bathroom with a G-string around her neck. Next it is The Princess, a former star of the show. When Dixie Daisy is accused of the crime, she puts her own plan into motion to try and catch the killer herself.
Lady of Burlesque is based on the novel The G-String Murders by Gypsy Rose Lee. Barbara Stanwyck stars as the main character Dixie Daisy. Michael O Shea plays Biff Brannigan, Dixie s boyfriend. Producers had to contend with the censors of the day due to the sexual nature of the film, however, it is sure to please any viewer today.
This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Had this fun little murder mystery from William Wellman not starred Barbara Stanwyck, it would certainly have been relegated to "B" status. As such, it is very fun and entertaining to watch, and the perfect "B" movie for a rainy night. Most of the more risque elements of Gypsy Rose Lee's 'The G-Sting Murders' already seemed tame by the time this was filmed in the early 1940's, but it offers a bit of nostalgia for the viewer today.
Stanwyck's Dixie is the center of this lighthearted ... Read More

Loved, loved, loved this high camp romp that is light on story but filled with the colorful characters and Runyonesque language so typical of the period. Stanwyck is always a pleasure and Iris Adrian (my favorite) is the epitome of the gum chewing girlfriend. Film had decent quality and the lyrics by Sammy Cahn were ahead of thier time in 1943.It even has Pinky Lee in the cast.
"So take it off the amazon, put it on the home screen", just add
some friends and watch Gypsy Rose Lee's classic ... Read More

LADY OF BURLESQUE(1943)---(Director: William Wellman)Barbara Stanwyck, Michael O'Shea, J. Edward Bromberg, Charles Dingle, Frank Conroy, Pinky Lee.
This film is based on famous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee's novel, "The G-String Murders". Stanwyck plays wise-cracking "lead stripper", Dixie Daisy. She works in a burlesque house owned by Bromberg. O'Shea plays a comic who has the "hots" for Stanwyck---initially, Stanwyck does not share his sentiments, and they engage in a running verbal sparring match. ... Read More

In theory, LADY OF BURLESQUE is a murder mystery, but mystery takes a back seat to the brawling backstage antics of crossed love affairs and star rivalry. Barbara Stanwyck endows star stripper "Dixie Daisy" with her own memorable brand of tough class--and although she can only be shown from the waist up when she bumps and grinds, she still manages to tear strips off her musical number "Play It On The G-String." The rest of the cast is equally memorable, many of them burlesque stars in their own right. ... Read More

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.
