Product Description

Eadie Was A Lady (1945)

Director:

Arthur Dreifuss

Writer:

Monte Brice

Stars:

Ann Miller, Joe Besser, William Wright, Jeff Donnell, Jimmy Little, Marion Martin
 
New chorus member Eadie Allen (Ann Miller) is the only thing that's good or lively or fresh in a run-down burlesque revue run by Tommy Farley (William Wright). He gives her a featured number and soon she's the star of the show, and he'd like to get to know her better because, conniver though he is, he's also genuinely falling in love with her, but she won't let him know anything about herself. And with good reason -- Eadie is a socially prominent debutante, a member of an old-money family of blue-noses; she wants to be an actress (something they wouldn't hear of) and Farley was the only producer willing to hire her. She's appalled by burlesque, and the physical comedy she's forced to perform, but the audience loves her and she gets to prove she can do a good song, and is also conned by Farley -- appealing to her patriotism and her good nature -- to stay with it. And she becomes a star, which is wonderful until the two sides of her life start to collide at the edges. Her college roommate Pepper (Miss Jeff Donnell) is attracted to the eccentric Professor Diogenes Dingle (Joe Besser), who is no professor but a burlesque comic himself impersonating a teacher; and one of Eadie's legitimate teachers twice spots her performing on stage and otherwise identified in public. The complications pile up until it looks as though Eadie will lose her chance at real love and also her chance to graduate from college.

  1. enjoyable little musical 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Jan 28th 2023

    Ms.Miller works in a burlesque house by nite, although by day, she is in actuality, an heiress. Good numbers, especially the title number, performed by Ms. Miller, in what I think was one of the few times in her early career, that she was allowed to use her own (superb) singing voice. Go figure what was on Columbia Pictures mind in the 1940's, when they consistently dubbed Millers vocals.

  2. Fantastic music production, it's awesome! 5 Star Review

    The movie was fascinating to watch, it captured my interest immediately! I love Ann Miller, she is dynamic as an entertainer! Enjoyed the music tremendously and the production concepts were outstanding. I believed the story and watched the video a second time, this picture motivated my artistic ambitions!

  3. Columbia knows they have a star 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Jun 13th 2022

    This is one of about nine movies Columbia made with the incomparable Ann Miller and every one of them that I have seen is a lot of fun, including this one. Its so interesting to watch her dance her way through numbers with all the force and talent of Elenore Powell, but on threadbare Columbia sets that remind you of what maybe the Ed Sullivan show might have put together for Petula Clark to come on and sing Downtown. Also worth noting - this is one of the only times you ever will see Joe Besser's one time vaudeville partner on screen. Joe doesn't really need him, though - I happen to think that Joe Besser is one of the all time comedy greats. Even this movie doesn't quite give him enough to do, even though amazingly his name is above the title along with Miller's. Until I saw this movie, I never would have dreamed this had happened. A good time.
