Bubbles (Lucille Ball) loves to dance. She also loves to eat. Her friend Judy (Maureen O’Hara) may choose to suffer for her art, but not Bubbles! She swaps her ballet shoes for a G-string…and turns patrons’ fantasies into dollars as a burlesque sensation Tiger Lily White. Directed by classic Hollywood’s sole major female director (Dorothy Arzner), this film has been embraced by fans for its feminist sensibilities as well as its powerful storytelling. You’ll love Lucy as she vamps her way through the film while grabbing at the heart with her cynical acceptance of being a woman in a man’s world. Running time: 89 minutes. |
