Stage Door (1937 Gregory la Cava)

A treat to have Kate Hepburn and Ginger Rogers together in fast talking RKO drama, written by Morrie Ryskind (Marx Bros. films, My Man Godfrey) and Anthony Veiller (The Stranger, The Killers, Night of the Iguana, Moulin Rouge), based on a play by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman (The Man Who Came to Dinner).  Adolphe Menjou is the producer. With Gail Patrick (the snooty one), Andrea Leeds (the starving one), Constance Collier (matron), Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Phyllis Kennedy, Franklin Pangborn, Jack Carson.

Shot by Robert de Grasse, music by Roy Webb.



Good.
