''Lady of Burlesque'' is a 1943 film starring Barbara Stanwyck and Michael O'Shea. It was based on the novel ''The G-String Murders'' by Gypsy Rose Lee.
The plot revolves around a {{Burlesque}} theatre, of which Stanwyck is the newest dancer Dixie Daisy. O'Shea plays her love interest - comic Biff Brannigan. Two strippers are murdered backstage and the entire theatre falls under suspicion as each of them try to figure out the killer.
!!Provides examples of:
* AlliterativeName: Dixie Daisy, Biff Brannigan. They are in show business after all...
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Lolita La Verne]].
* TheCastShowOff: Barbara Stanwyck actually. The court room number allows her to show off Russian squats, splits, cartwheels, dancing and singing.
* CatFight: Lolita and Dolly.
* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: Despite most synopsis describing the film as a murder mystery, the first murder does not actually happen until 40 minutes in.
* {{Disneyfication}}: The film depicts as much about burlesque as the censors would actually allow. So no strip teasing is actually shown.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Subverted. Biff asks Dixie's real name which she is happy to give him, but he still refers to her as Dixie anyway.
* DumbBlonde: Alice Angel. Her idea of giving helpful advice is saying nobody was with her at the water cooler (at the time of the murder) therefore anyone could have gone up.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The Princess Nirvena. Who knows if she's actually royalty but she's referred to as "the princess" by everyone at the theatre.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* FreudianExcuse: Let's just say Dixie has had bad experiences with comics in the past.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The film initially starts off as a drama revolving around the dancers backstage and Dixie possibly falling in love with Biff. Then bam there's a murder.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Lolita and the rest of the dancers are the light, Dixie and the Princess are the dark.
* MoodWhiplash: A murder investigation is going on yet the comics and dancers still crack jokes.
* OperaGloves: But of course.
* PrettyInMink: The Princess Nirvena has a fox fur wrap that she carries around with her.
* RedHerring: [[spoiler: The Princess]].
* ShowSomeLeg: It's the closest the movie was allowed to show to actual striptease.
* StuffedInTheFridge: [[spoiler: Lolita and the princess]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Lolita]] was both strangled with the G-string and poisoned.
* WomanInBlack: The Princess Nirvena is always seen wearing black.
* WouldHitAGirl: Lolita and Louis have that kind of relationship.
