If you loved The Dresser, try Stage Beauty
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Richard Eyre, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to The Dresser, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Stage Beauty is
One imagines the pitch meeting was fairly straightforward. A cross-dressing actor finds his career threatened when women are allowed on stage. London's most celebrated Desdemona, Ned Kynaston, finds himself upstaged by a woman, Maria, who once assisted his act. It's a frothy period piece, and it certainly looks like one.
