Stage Door (1937)

In director Gregory La Cava's showbusiness-related comedy-drama:

• the sparring scenes between roommates at the Footlights Club - the sexy, insult-slinging Joan Maitland (Ginger Rogers) and rich/refined Terry Randall (Katharine Hepburn)
• the realistic performances of other theatrical boardinghouse roommates
• the tearjerking scene of a depressed Kaye Hamilton (Andrea Leeds) ascending a staircase and hearing applause as she was about to commit suicide
• Terry's memorable tearful rendition of the "calla lilies are in bloom..." and her curtain call speech
