  1. Along with Ida Lupino, Dorothy Arzner was one of the scant few female directors during the Classical Hollywood era. The difference between Lupino and Arzner is that the former was also an actress šŸ™‚

  2. Same here Maddy šŸ™‚ Nice to see somebody else, who has not only heard of Dorothy Arzner, but has seen her works as well šŸ™‚ Merrily We Go To Hell is just one of many perfect examples of Pre-Code Hollywood at it’s finest šŸ™‚ Also, Dance, Girl, Dance deserves to be seen as one of the most intelligent comedy-dramas of the 1940’s to focus on female friendship and the inevitable trials and tribulations šŸ™‚
