Later remade into the successful Julie Andrews vehicle VICTOR/VICTORIA, FIRST A GIRL stars the legendary British actress Jessie Matthews as Elizabeth, a young woman desperate to make it big in show business. She finds success in a Paris cabaret as "Victor," a female impersonator, and this success leads to more than a few complications in her love life. Filled with lavish Busby Berkley inspired musical numbers and some rather risque humor for the period, FIRST A GIRL is a forgotten gem that is every bit its more famous remake's equal. [More]
