Lady of Burlesque(a.k.a. "The G-String Murders"; "Striptease Lady" -- UK)
US (1943): Mystery/Comedy
Sassy Dixie Daisy (Barbara Stanwyck) is the hot new attraction at a former opera house that's been turned into a burlesque theater. She's popular with the customers, although not with Lolita La Verne (Victoria Faust), a stuck-up diva who was hoping she'd get the top spot. Also complicating matters is the return of the Princess Nirvena (Stephanie Bachelor), the show's former star who once had a fling with the boss. When the Princess blackmails her way into the top spot, Dixie is none too pleased. When both Lolita and the Princess are murdered, Dixie becomes a prime suspect. She then sets up a trap to nail the real killer. William A. "Wild Bill" Wellman directs this James Gunn adaptation of Gypsy Rose Lee's novel, The G-String Murders.
