Previously the direction was going to be made by Roy Del Ruth, due disagreements with the RKO's Producer they replaced him by a feminist director Dorothy Arzner always featuring herself as male one, such changing also driven the picture to another concept, mainly on the character of Maureen O'Hara, the candid and puritan Judy O'Brien instead the B-girl Bubbles played by Lucille Ball in tender age as true burlesque star, epitomized the plot lies in a troupe of dancing girls lead by the savvy handler Bubbles who is a front girl to find best jobs for all them, including the wannabe to classic ballet dancer Judy, after the lack of fair opportunities all girls faded away, just remaining Bubbles and Judy.
The spicy girl Bubbles due her free spirit concerning wealthy guys, she didn't has any matter to find a proper job, guilt-free to exploit her semi nudity on burlesque circuit on Broadway, soon reaching into stardom as Tiger Lilly White inviting the Judy to be her stooge on stage, then came up the playboy Jimmy Harris (Louis Hayward) on divorce ongoing getting the affection of the dreamer Judy, whereof draw attention of Bubbles neither, also appears a ballet manager Steve Adams (Ralph Bellamy) to join in this circle as applicant on charming Judy even she stays on the fence.
This picture deserves respect for many reasons, firstly to show up so gorgeous girls, well-shaped bodies, beautiful legs likewise on pre-code way as "Footlight Parade", "Gold Diggers of 1933", "42nd Street" among others related movies, actually "Dance Girl Dance" wasn't a classic musical so to speak, a spin-off surely should be the exact term, furthermore the sexy Lucille Ball stolen the picture on a stunning B-girl performance, even the angelical beauty of Maureen O'Hara wasn't match for the flaming Tiger Lilly whatsoever, it must be reintroduced by newest generation of cinephiles like myself.
