THE THEATAH!

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was

Stage Door (1937)

with Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers. Also appearing in smaller roles are Eve Arden, Ann Miller and Lucille Ball. Grady Sutton and Franklin Pangborn make the scene as well as Adolph Menjou as a predacious producer.

Most of the film is fast joke fun with a script by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber.

There is some corny stuff near the end but we survive it and the jokes come back.

This would be worth seeing again for the jokes which are pretty good. I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5. I enjoyed it.
