    Dear me,Barbara,what is this mess?Mystery film and some cabaret girls solving criminal issues.Of course the sex clash is inevitable and attained with such conservatism,the ending is pretty much a laughable distraction to the dancing series and musical blobs!At least Wellman has Public Enemy in his filmography.

    Song and dance aside i really enjoyed the hell out of this film. Barbara Stanwyk is friggin gorgeous. Not only does she have the looks but she got the smarts too.
    The whole seedier side of the Burlesque is great. Girls with big dreams of getting out and making it big in a more respected form of entertainment. Cops busting what they deem too risqué and murder! And there are alot of funny moments too.

    Barbara Stanwyck is the one remarkable element in this rather unremarkable film. Lady of Burlesque has the feel of a formulaic studio adaptation of a likewise formulaic dime store novel. Stanwyck fans, like me, will find a few moments of brilliance here but even Barbara's wit and charm can't elevate this one above the level of mediocrity.

    The only date I make with comics is the Sunday morning funny papers.

    Gee, if only my ex-true love had felt the same way. She bypassed me for a professional comedian. I kid you not. As a result, I've been working on my routine ever since -- you know, just in case. If I've learned anything from the whole mess, I gotta say it really is hard to write your own jokes.

    Damn, flixster friends, do you think Barbara Stanwyck might have a grand-daughter on flixster? If so --

    Yo, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter, if you actually exist and you're reading this:

    Aloha! If you're single, this is a genuine marriage proposal. Don't worry about the singing (if it's inherited); we can work on that. If you're interested, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter, please flixster message me ASAP! I pretty much log in daily.

    Yea, verily, I promise you the moon -- and then some . . .

    You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Barbara Stanwyck's grand-daughter.

    And -- I must ardently reiterate -- then some : )
