Dorothy Arzner's best film, Dance, Girl, Dance, spotlights women's inner worlds.
Full Review
ToxicUniverse.com
Dance, Girl, Dance is just a cliché-ridden, garbled repetition of the story of the aches and pains in a dancer's rise to fame and fortune.

New York Times
Without rising out of the cinematically conventional, the movie's self-reflexivity continually questions the gaze of the camera.

3 stars out of 4 -- [A] story naturally about second-tier showbiz....A cult feminist drama...
USA Today
Rating: B+ --
Arguably Dorothy Arzner's most personal film, this chronicle of female friendship is an anomaly: a feminist film made before feminism existed, directed by Hollywood's only female director, and a buddy picture before the genre was invented.

Rating: 2/5 --
Pioneering female director Dorothy Arzner, who took over at short notice after filming commenced, does her best with an inadequate script and a miscast O'Hara; she manages to bring the film to life from time to time -- usually when Ball is on screen.

Radio Times
Arzner's internal critique of Hollywood ideology (woman as silent object of male scrutiny). It works within the confines of a stock vaudevillian golddiggers comedy-drama.

Product Description:
O'Hara as a lovely, young, aspiring ballerina falls into a livelier life in burlesque as a result of her competition with Ball as Bubbles, a firecracker burlesque dancer. Her efforts to redeem herself and direction by pioneer female director Arzner makes this a favorite among feminists. In any case, interesting for the early O'Hara and Ball roles.
