Pal Joey is a 1957 musical film directed by George Sidney, starring Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth, and Kim Novak.Joey Evans (Sinatra) is a lounge singer and emcee who winds up in San Francisco looking for work. He talks his way into a burlesque nightclub on the Barbary Coast and through sheer force of will gets a job. Joey cuts a swath through the chorus girls but develops a special fancy for the most innocent one among them, Linda English (Novak).Joey and Linda wind up working a society party with the rest of the gang from the nightclub. Joey is surprised to recognize the host of the party, society matron Vera Prentice-Simpson (Hayworth); she used to be a burlesque stripper, "Vera Vanessa the undresser...with the Vanishing Veils". Joey reacquaints himself with Vera the rich widow and romances her, seeking to get her to set him up in his own nightclub, "Chez Joey". Joey and Vera become lovers, and she agrees to bankroll his club—but he's still got a thing for Linda, and Vera doesn't like it.Loosely based on a 1940 musical of the same name by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Robert Reed, the future star of The Brady Bunch, has an uncredited bit part as a nightclub patron. | |

Light Feminine and Dark Feminine | |
| Pal Joey / int_45a387bc | comment |
Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Vera is a former stripper and an example of All Women Are Lustful who is perfectly ok with keeping Joey around as her boy toy. She also smokes and drinks. Linda is vaguely virginal, has never taken a drink, is horrified when Joey suggests she do a striptease in the club, and is very self-conscious when she does it in rehearsal. | |
