Stage Door (1937)


Andrea Leeds as Kay Hamilton is the heart of the film.She has no work no money and wants to act in a play but the part goes to Katharine Hepburn.In deep despair she jumps off to her tragic death which really saddens Katharine and inspires her to perform well in the play its like Kay's spirit guiding her through.This film is my favourite film of all times its full of charm and goodness and a unique plot about "The Footlights Club " where more than a dozen of aspiring actresses live trying to find work and fame and fortune.Its still a breath of fresh air with girls chatting continuously teasing and passing witty remarks helping out each other in times of need and celebrating joys of each other together.Its absolutely lovely and reminds me of  my school or college days where as you enter class-room our school premises you could here exciting chit chat of students relating interesting goings on or telling the most incredulous tales.

Katharine Hepburn is just great here as the daughter of a rich father who wants to make her own mark.Lucille Ball and Ginger Rogers are here too giving good support.Adolphe Menjou is quite good too.The film is so well written filled with quotable quotes.Its also my most cherished movie DVD.
