Original RKO Insert Poster (14×36) for the Dorothy Arzner comedy, DANCE, GIRL, DANCE (1940) starring Maureen O’Hara, Louis Hayward, Lucille Ball, and Virginia Field. O’Hara is fabulous as a ballet dancer who has to lower her artistic standards to make a living. Ball is also wonderful in her “bad girl” role. Ball and O’Hara would become life-long friends as a result of making this film together. This is also one of the few Hollywood films of this era to be directed by a woman. You might not notice this fact until the end when O’Hara delivers what can only be described as a “feminist” speech. This original insert poster is folded and in fine plus condition, with only some minor fold distresses.
