Ann Miller really was just 14 when this was shot. Watch her closely, she's just a kid. But so funny and natural. Of course Ginger Rogers was, too.

I didn't know she was THAT young. I'm watching "Easter Parade" right now, and MGM certainly glammed her up later on. But she is more natural here, gawky and gauche in a very funny way.

Roslyn Decanio - Lucy Ball gave Ann Miller the professional push she needed. Ann always spoke well about Lucy, Ginger and Hermes Pan (great dance choreographer). Very awsome story.

@@mayaa5048 Ann told a funny story about how she was due to go to the Oscars as guest of Hermes Pan, who was up for an award. Being brunette, she plastered on make up like Hedy Lamarr or Brenda Frazer: dead white face and scarlet lipstick. He made her wash it off before she could go out, but he didn't know he was squiring a 14 y.o. pretending to be 18! They became lifelong friends.

I love Ginger's character of Jean in this movie. She roasts people so scathingly yet she's so beautiful and lovely that her insulting skills only add to her personality.
@esmeephillips58885 жыл бұрын
She combined the heroine and the heroine's best friend (Joan Blondell, Patsy Kelly, Una Merkel). She sang endearingly, danced superbly and was cover-girl gorgeous. No Thirties star gave better value for money. At this time she was playing a very different showbiz woman, the established and sophisticated singer of 'Carefree' who needs psychoanalysing. Ginger is credible and funny in both roles.

I was lucky to get see Ann Miller dance in her one of her last appearances. I went to a taping of Home Improvement during it's first season, so it was not popular yet and easy to get tickets and Ann Miller happened to guest star on the episode.

Take a look at the YT extract from 'Queen High' (1930). Ginger, aged 20, sings to cheer up Frank Morgan; a girl tapdancing on a table is 17 y.o. Eleanor Powell. Within a few years both these kids would be world-famous.

Ginger gave Ann the part, after the casters though she was to tall to dance with her. Miller's wore low heels...and I thought purposefully lets herself look more dowdy, than the huge star Ginger was at the time. This shows both Ginger's humanity and personal generosity, and Miller's gumption as a 15 year old. They remained friends all their lives. The lovely Ginger was 26 in 1937.

****I find it incredible the actuality of this film, released 80 years ago, in 1937, when women still had enormous difficulties in earning a living and being financially independent. The script, based on the play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, is seemingly futile for non-theatrical world, however, the variety of characters helps to enrich and make history interesting, as a human and moving drama , In which unscrupulous men use power to manipulate women. Hepburn is the rich young woman, willing to prove to the father (the corn king) that she lives in a club of actresses and that can enter the theater without support of the relatives; The blonde Rogers, in addition to displaying her talent as a dancer alongside young Ann Miller, demonstrates the talent that would turn her into a sought-after comedian. The cast also features the jokes of future TV star Lucille Ball, the great lady of the theater Constance Collier (with good scenes, but unfortunately in a small role too) and, worth noting, Gail Patrick, Eve Arden and Andrea Leeds - the only one nominated for the Oscars - notable for the sweet and distressed actress Kay Hamilton, discarded after the success by the immoral producer, lived by Adolphe Menjou, who uses the post to seduce the young actresses. His alcove scenes with drunken Rogers remind me of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Oliver in The Prince and Showgirl. Stage Door gets relative success and Hepburn gain breath for two more movies on RKO: Bringing Up Baby and Holiday. With the commercial failure of these two productions, she would only return to the cinema in 1940, in The Philadelphia Story. Hepbun's character reminded me a bit of another part of her in Morning Glory. She is a bit clumsy at first, but she has the courage, she is supportive and generous with her colleagues, who wear her sophisticated clothes and coats. It even has a very current and politically correct joke about fur coats. The scene "The Calla Lilies are in Bloom Again" was taken from another play, which negatively marked her career in the theater. The sequel works on the film, but Kate used it as a joke, for fun.

@@mayaa5048 Hepburn was not a nice woman. She couldn't sing or dance a step, and she resented her contemporaries who could. She envied them their sex appeal too, so she faded up the Great Actress image to compensate. I always felt a chilly core in her. No doubt Tracy, a cantankerous old goat, appreciated her orneriness, however.
