Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stage Struck is a 1936 musical film directed by Busby Berkeley.George Randall (Dick Powell) is a Broadway musical director. Unfortunately the producer of George's latest show, "Words and Music", has run out of money, endangering the show. His producer hits on the desperation idea of working for Peggy Revere (Joan Blondell), a socialite who has no performing experience and no talent but does have a lot of money and would like to star in a Broadway show.This plan goes awry when Peggy meets George, they take a violent dislike to each other, and Peggy withdraws her money. However, right after this George goes out drinking and wakes up to discover that he signed a contract with another producer, Fred Harris (Warren William). Fred has secured Peggy's money, and the show proceeds.Auditions are held for the show. One of the would-be Broadway performers is a fresh-faced ingenue from the sticks, Ruth Williams. Ruth and George fall for each other, which makes George reluctant to cast Ruth into the gaping maw of show business, which Ruth resents. Meanwhile, there's still the matter of no-talent Peggy headlining the show, despite the fact that other people—like Ruth, say—would be far better in the part.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite being a musical directed by Busby Berkeley this film does not feature a Busby Berkeley Number. One story holds that producer Jack Warner didn't like what he was seeing and withdrew funding for a big number.No connection with silent film Stage Struck. A pre-stardom Jane Wyman is onscreen for about a minute as a chorus girl who glories in the name of Bessie Funfnick. | |

Aside Glance | |

Aside Glance: In the opening scene George is giving the once-over to a line of chorus girls. One chorus girl looks awkwardly straight into the camera. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Peggy's maid comes running out in a panic and tells Sid that Peggy shot Gilmore. Sid asks "Where?", and the maid answers "Between the chaise lounge and the wastebasket!" (Gilmore is only superficially wounded.) | |
