Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller tap in time and rat-a-tat lines. Lucille
Ball braves a date with an obnoxious lumber baron. Eve Arden can't
recall Hamlet but one meets so many people in the big city. And
Katharine Hepburn becomes Broadway's biggest star in a play wherein she
notes "the calla lilies are in bloom again."
Stars galore shine in this nominee for 4 Academy Awards® including Best
Picture, a fast, witty story of aspiring actresses living at a
theatrical boarding house.
Based on an Edna Ferber/George S. Kaufman
play, the tale was considerably rewritten for film, so much that
Kaufman quipped it should be called Screen Door. What matters most to
an acting hopeful is an open door. With humor and heart, this excellent
movie suggests some things matter more.
