Before Lucille Ball was a television star, she was a movie star. Maureen O'Hara is the real star of the movie though. It's also impressive to finally have another movie on the list directed by a woman, and in 1940, when it seems like the field would have been all males, which is was besides Dorothy Arzner. She was actually the only woman director during the Golden Age of film from the 1920s to the 1940s. Even though she was very pivotal to the moment women would be moving into the industry for more than acting and jobs that didn't lead, she doesn't even have a photo on IMDb.
Summary: Judy O'Brien is an aspiring dancer. She has all the skills, but it is instead another girl in the group, Bubbles, who gets all the attention. Mostly because she has a way with the men. Bubbles finds her break in a burlesque dance show where the man love her. Judy is left with no job though when the place they are working at is shut down. Bubbles offers her a job as a stooge, which is more of an embarrassment than a way to show off her talent. The two begin to clash majorly though when Judy and Bubbles fall for the same man, Jimmy.
