Based on a story by
Vicki Baum
(of
Grand Hotel
) fame,
Dance, Girl Dance
finds innocent young Judy (
Maureen O'Hara
) journeying to the Big Apple in hopes of gaining fame as a classical dancer. Instead she ends up as the "stooge" for raucous strip-tease artist Bubbles (
Lucille Ball
), who attempts to perform ballet before leering, catcalling, unappreciative burlesque audiences. Eventually, Judy and Bubbles both fall for playboy Jimmy Harris (
Louis Hayward
), a rivalry that culminates in a hair-pulling, eye-scratching cat fight. Eventually,
Harris
's ex-wife (
Virginia Field
) reels him back in, and
Judy
is hired by ballet producer and entrepreneur
Steve Adams
(
Ralph Bellamy
). In recent years,
Dance, Girl, Dance
has been canonized as a feminist manifesto, due to the fact that
Dorothy Arzner
was the director and because of
Maureen O'Hara
's climactic burlesque-house speech, in which she lambastes the male spectators for their puerile chauvinism. It should be noted, however, that
Arzner
became director only after
Roy Del Ruth
pulled out of the project. Uncertain how to promote the film,
RKO Radio
elected to sneak it into its first-run houses without fanfare, and the result was a $400,000 loss for the studio. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
