    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. Also 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.

    Dixie Daisy (Barbara Stanwyck) may be new at this burlesque theatre, but her reputation as a top performer ensures she is a big draw for the male clientele, and she entertains them every night with such tunes as "Take It Off the E-String, Put It On the G-String". But g-strings will become more significant after tonight, as there is somebody with some evil intentions towards the dancers, who may be subject to in-fighting, yet would surely not go as far as murder to gain the upper hand. Or would they? After someone calls the cops to a raid on the theatre, Dixie is nearly strangled in the darkness and confusion…

    Hard-boiled dialogue abounded in this adaptation of a cash-in thriller novel supposedly penned by actual burlesque performer Gyspy Rose Lee, and in spite of all those dames dressed up in all their finery, director William A. Wellman made clear that this was not a glamorous life for a young woman, never mind the comics who provided the entertainment between dances. Stanwyck may have been getting into her late thirties by the time this was produced, but you'd never think she was getting on a bit by the way she enthusiastically throws herself (literally, in one routine) into the role.

    It is her star wattage that keeps what is really a pretty mundane whodunnit afloat, that and those lines she and her co-stars are given to fire off at each other. On fact, so in love with the idea of these women verbally sparring that the business with the murders hardly gets going until the last half of the film, as before that we're more concerned with the bitching of the performers and Dixie's man troubles. These are to do with her pursuit by comedian Biff Brannigan (Michael O'Shea), who won't take no for an answer, but is he so persistent to the extent that he's gone round the bend?

    Lady of Burlesque has historical value as it portrays its subject from around the time it was popular: I know it's very fashionable to go and see Dita Von Teese and her cohorts these days, but this film hails from a time when this occupation was equivalent to working in a modern strip club, and far from glittery. The esteem this is held in is summed up by the attitude of two stagehands from when the theatre used to be an opera house, and they're not impressed by what passes for entertainment there now, as it looks like a precipitous slide downmarket to them.

    Wellman doesn't exactly make this seedy, but neither does he make it appear an attractive proposition for a lifestyle even if the film does revel in the company of these plain-speaking women. But there comes a time for the plot to kick in, and it happens when one of the ladies is found in a cupboard strangled with her own g-string. Everyone is a suspect, it seems, from the girl who had a catfight with her to the louse of a boyfriend who slapped her about minutes before she died. Of course the real killer is better concealed, but we do have the chance to wonder about each of them, including Daisy and Biff, who discovers the gone missing g-string in the pocket of his costume. It's the atmosphere that makes this worthwhile and a good choice for those musing over the origins of today's burlesque. Music by Arthur Lange.

    The most surprising thing about LADY OF BURLESQUE was that it got made at all. Burlesque was all but dead by 1942, shut out of most towns and cities by relentless moral crusaders, and Hollywood itself was mired in the infamous "production code," which put a heavy lid on what could and could not be shown on screen. But burlesque had spawned a number of stars who remained favorites with public, and in 1941 the legendary Gypsy Rose Lee penned a book called THE G-STRING MURDERS. It proved extremely popular, and a year later United Artists took a chance on the film project.

    True enough, the movie couldn't show the strippers in action or play out the bawdy comic sketches so popular in burlesque, but writer James Gunn turned in a superior script, and director William Wellman and his cast gave the whole thing tremendous dash and style. The result was a movie that captured the seedy, underworld-edged world of burlesque without actually causing censors to yank it from distribution.

    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. Pinky Lee (Mandy) is memorably teamed with Marion Martin (Alice Angel) to delightful effect; Iris Adrian (Gee-Gee)is the gum smacking brash blonde to end all gum smacking brash blondes; and such memorable character actors as Michael O'Shea (Biff), Gloria Dickson (Dolly), and J. Edward Bromberg (Foss) round out the cast superbly.

    Sad to say, LADY OF BURLESQUE has fallen into public domain, and it has not been well preserved. I have seen several releases of the film, and all of them are plagued with breaks in the film and the soundtrack. LADY OF BURLESQUE may never be regarded as a "great" film, but it is an extremely entertaining one, particularly for those who already know something about the now-lost world of burlesque. As one character says, "Makes me want to leave the wife!" Recommended.
