Friday, Feb. 17 - Sweet Rosie O'Grady

Sweet Rosie O'Grady (1943)

"If you think the '90s were gay, you should have seen the '80s!"

Music-hall star Madeleine Marlowe leaves London engaged to the Duke of Trippingham only to find back home that Police Gazette hack Samuel A. McGee has exposed her as former burlesque queen Rosie O'Grady. To get her own back she announces that Sam is in fact her real suitor. He in turn has a song about Rosie published and something of an Irish brawl develops via his paper and her stage show.

A slightly reworked version of Love Is News (1937) which we recently watched and the other remake which I forget the name.
