King of Burlesque

King of Burlesque is a 1936 musical film about a former burlesque producer played by Warner Baxter who moves into a legitimate theatre and does very well, until he marries a socialite. Sammy Lee received an Academy Award nomination for the now dead category of Best Dance Direction at the 8th Academy Awards.[2] Today the film is best known for Fats Waller's rendition of "I've Got My Fingers Crossed".
