Despite the setting, this film does not have much dancing and showbiz action. Instead, Stage Door focuses more on the actresses and the behind-the-scenes drama. Hepburn and Rogers make a fun pairing, especially the ever-bratty and bubbly Rogers is quite a sight. But that's not enough to make this a great film.

The dialogues are rather dull and there isn't much else to see here. It's just women rambling on for 90 minutes straight. The cinematography is boring, some of the secondary characters are annoying and there's hardly any plot to speak of. But it's certainly not the worst of its kind.
