Dance, Girl, Dance

Dance, Girl, Dance is a film released in 1940 and directed by Dorothy Arzner.

Good friends Judy and Bubbles are both dancers. Bubbles uses her good looks and being a sex siren to get jobs, and becomes successful in burlesque, while Judy is an elegant ballerina who struggles to make a living as a dancer. A rivalry develops when they both fall in love with a divorced playboy.In an October 1940 review, Bosley Crowther of The New York Times described the film as a saga of glamourstruck chorines to end all sagas of said glamourstruck chorines and a clichridden, garbled repetition of the story of the aches and pains in a dancers rise to fame and fortune. The film was a critical and commercial failure, and its theatrical release lost RKO Studios roughly 400,000. ........
