Classic Movies: Desirable Lady DVD (1944) A Vintage Burlesque Film Featuring Jan Wiley, Phil Warren, Eddie Dunn, Janet Scott, Emmett Vogan, Edward Keane, Betty Blythe, Marilyn McConnell, Dick Rush, Cheerio Meredith, Herbert Evans, and Chester Conklin.

Desirable Lady is a first-rate look at stereotypes and cultural values of the nineteen forties that includes exotic dancing, nightclubs, and exploitation. The voluptuous Jan Wiley, who usually starred in Western movies, takes the scantily clad leading role. The corrupting of morals and seedy business transactions abound as Wiley tries to improve her lot in life. She's constantly thwarted by those out to exploit her and her luscious body. But when Wiley ends up in the slammer for lewd activity, something has to give. Desirable Lady is a classic example of a grind house film that played in side street theaters.
