"Lady of Burlesque" (also known as "The G-String Murders" and in the UK, "Striptease Lady") is a 1943 mystery film starring Barbara Stanwyck and Michael O'Shea, based on the novel "The G-String Murders" written by famous strip tease artist Gypsy Rose Lee (with ghost-writing assistance from famous mystery writer Craig Rice). The plot concerns the murder of two strippers, backstage of a New York burlesque theatre and the detection of the killer.

, a burlesque comic in real life, is another of the many notable supporting players. The film attempts to show what the censors of 1943 would allow it to show with respect to the precise nature of "bumps" and "grinds", and the slapdash nature of burlesque shows. Songs include "Take it off the A string, play it on the G string" rendered by Stanwyck.
