0 toller film von 1940 mit der offen lesbischen regisseurin dorothy arzner, die sehr oft recht feministische filme in rahmen einer komödie mit berühmten schauspierlerinnen wie katharine hepburn etc drehte. am 15.11 um 18.00 uhr im arsenal kino, potsdamer strasse 2 , berlin im sony center. sehr unterhaltsam, wenn man gute filme und schauspieler/innen aus dieser zeit mag....ich liebe sie. reviews: It`s about two ballet dancers who start off as friends but eventually become bitter rivals — 70 years before Black Swan, mind you! The main character is potrayed by Maureen O’Hara (in one of her earliest movie roles), and she plays the innocent ingenue type. Lucille Ball is her rival — a ballet dancer who ends up becoming a burlesque dancer because, of course, that’s where the money is. Ball’s character is also older and more of a vamp and a mantrap than O’Hara’s character is. In the 1970s, Dance, Girl, Dance was rediscovered by the first wave of feminist film critics in America. They singled out this particular movie as as her masterpiece because it was the one that seemed to function most explicitly as a feminist text. An outrageously entertaining melodrama that features great dance numbers, juicy performances and a climactic cat fight between the female leads that is absolutely irresistible. Dorothy Arzner was the first woman to direct a talkie and she was the first woman to join the Director’s Guild of America. Her movies very explicitly examine the role of women in society, These films focus on the struggles of independent women and it is interesting to note that Arzner had a knack for casting great actresses and proto-feminists in their first starring roles (e.g., Katharine Hepburn in Christopher Strong and Rosalind Russell in Craig’s Wife). The most strong-willed female character Arzner ever created, however, and the one who is probably best defined as a feminist, is Judy O’Brien in Dance, Girl, Dance. There is a scene at the end of this movie that feminist critics love because O’Brien verbally criticizes the male spectators of the dance performances within the film using language that seems quite forward and shocking for 1940. Arzner also often managed to sneek lesbian understones or characters into her films, such as the dance instructor in Dance, Girl, Dance, whose appearance is not completely different from that of a certain director, who was known to wear her hair short and her shirts with ties … Arzner herself was in a long romantic relationship with Marion Morgan, the choreographer on Dance, Girl, Dance and was openly lesbian..... obige engl text auschnitte aus diesen blogs http://butch-in-progress.
