I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

One of my all time favorites.

Awesome Movie

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Deborah Hoople (Barbara Stanwyck) is burlesque headliner Dixie Daisy at the Old Opera House on Broadway. It's a wild time on stage and even wilder backstage. Gee Gee Graham is a supportive showgirl. S.B. Foss owns the theater. Infatuated clown Biff Brannigan endlessly chases after Dixie. Snooty Lolita La Verne has a cat fight with Dolly Baxter. During a police raid, someone tries to strangle Dixie in the dark. Former star Princess Nirvena returns. Lolita has a fight with jealous gangster Louie Grindero and then she's found murdered.The burlesque is not particularly risqué probably due to production codes which makes the police raid kinda silly. The girls shake their booties a bit. I love Stanwyck but she's not the strongest song and dance gal. The strength is the backstage antics. I'm surprised that the Chinese waiters seem like human characters without the expected broad accents. The murderer would be more compelling if he's targeting only Dixie. The initial strangling is quite a good turn but the killer starts going elsewhere. This is nice for Stanwyck fans.

*Spoiler/plot- Lady in Burlesque, 1943. A mystery about the closing and sale of a large theater involving the theater's management, owner, and vaudeville show cast.*Special Stars- Barbara Stanwyck, Michael O'Shea, Pinky Lee, *Theme- Strippers are not all dumb women.*Trivia/location/goofs- B&W. Murder mystery. Written by Gypsy Rose Lee. Pinky Lee was a longtime performer in both theater genres.*Emotion- A pedestrian mystery film except for the elements of seeing how vaudeville shows were done in those times and experiencing Gypy Rose Lee writing. Barbara Stanwwyck glamored up to be a sexy stripper is comical. Pinky Lee is worth seeing for his comedic lisping little boy stage sketch role that was later copied by several performers in Vaudeville era like the Three Stooges, Ed Wynn, Bert Lar, and many others.*Based On- The dying of the vaudeville theater and it's performance circuit.

"Lady of Burlesque" has one thing going for it – the mystery. And that's only fair and late into the film. It has one guessing and wondering who the killer is and if somebody else will be next. It's based on a book by the famous queen of burlesque, Gypsy Rose Lee – "The G-String Murders." Otherwise, this is just a so-so film for comedy and romance. This movie came out on May 1, 1943, and it's apparent that the war had its toll on Hollywood by the dearth of any big name male actors in half a dozen roles. So, it's left mostly to Barbara Stanwyck and the rest of the girls to carry the film. Of course, the plot is a lot about the women, and "Babs" gets some nice support from a couple more of the ladies. But, even she doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm in her role though. The screenplay and direction aren't that good either. We see a lot of film shot of the women going up and down the stairs to and from their dressing room. Michael O'Shea as Biff Brannigan just doesn't seem like much more than a grown up kid. I could see Jimmy Stewart doing that role very well. Charles Dingle was somewhat better as the police inspector Harrigan, but someone like Dana Andrews would have been perfect for the role. Or Eddie Albert would have been a good inspector. Or Lew Ayres or Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Jack Carson would have brought some more life to the Biff character, or Dan Dailey or Jackie Cooper would have been good in the role. For that matter, Glenn Ford could have done either role very well. But all these men were off at war or on war duty. One thing that grated me some was the constant bickering and fighting among the women. As for burlesque, this film doesn't have strip-tease or anything more risqué than innuendo. For its day, it may have seemed much more risqué. I must have watched a different film than the one in which a few reviews found Stanwyck to be a good singer. I agree with those who think this movie was way below Stanwyck's usual fare. I imagine she might have considered this movie best forgotten among her oeuvre.

Sassy Dixie Daisy is the hot new attraction at a former opera house that's been turned into a burlesque theater. She's popular with the customers, although not with Lolita La Verne, a stuck-up diva who was hoping she'd get the top spot. Complicating matters is the return of the Princess Nirvena, the show's former star who once had a fling with the boss. When the Princess blackmails her way into the top spot, Dixie is none too pleased. When both Lolita and the Princess are murdered, Dixie becomes a prime suspect. She then sets up a trap to nail the real killer.I guess this is public domain because the print I watched this on looked like it was taken off the TV. I know this has some good reviews, but for me it was only good as a period piece, looking at the transition of burlesque close to its last days soon to be replaced by hard core porn.I didn't find much else that rewarding in the watching.UPDATE: Well i found a significantly better print and watched it again. It's still not a great film. William Wellman was well past his prime, man. The early-mid 40s were a time when Hollywood was making murder mysteries. Everybody was making them. There are far better examples out there.
