An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Dance, Girl, Dance, the 1940 Dorothy Arzner romantic love triangle show business burlesque musical comedy ("Vicki Baum's story"; about two girls who both want to be successful dancers in a ballet company; one leaves to become the lead in a burlesque show, and when the other has no success, she goes to work as the other's assistant, but she is the one who wins the man they both love) starring Maureen O'Hara, Louis Hayward, Lucille Ball, Virginia Field, Ralph Bellamy, Mary Carlisle, Katharine Alexander, Edward Brophy, Walter Abel, Harold Huber, and Maria Ouspenskaya. Note that this was Maureen O'Hara's third American movie after "Jamaica Inn" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". She became great friends with Lucille Ball on the set, and they stayed lifelong friends. Lucille Ball met future husband/partner Desi Arnaz on the set while filming this movie. Note that Dorothy Arzner was the replacement director on this movie after first choice Roy Del Ruth left over creative differences. She was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.
