STAGE DOOR

Director Gregory La Cava’s flair for improvisation and high wire performances reaches its zenith in STAGE DOOR, a heady ensemble drama set in a New York boarding house that teams with the wised-up patter of struggling actresses. Real life frenemies, Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers, spark and spar as unlikely roommates riding waves of success and disappointment—mostly disappointment—in their pursuit of stardom until tragedy strikes. Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, STAGE DOOR crackles with the electricity of too many talented women in one room.

"For these girls, the food will always be bad, the Depression will never be over, and men are their last option. If you listen closely to STAGE DOOR—and some have made a religion of it—you might be surprised to find that underneath the wisecracks and snarky camaraderie of these extraordinary women lies the wintry humor of Samuel Beckett." — Slant Magazine
