		The Footlights has come a long way since it was founded in 1883, a tiny gathering of extrovert students which offered popular vaudeville to the people of Cambridgeshire.

		A lot of the other clubs tended to have a predominant class or predominant attitude; the Footlights crowd were very mixed and very good company, very amusing, and a lot less intense and serious and dedicated than the drama societies, who (it seemed to us) took themselves a bit seriously.
		We had been in the club for such a short period of time that we'd not realized that almost everyone in the club had left the previous year.
		Later when the Footlights Revue (which obviously didn't have Graham in it) transferred to London, Anthony Buffery did not want to stay with the show very long, and his place was taken by Graham.

		The story is fairly simple: Terry Randall (Hepburn) moves into the Footlights Club to begin her career as an actress.
		It takes a tragedy to turn Terry into the actress she could be, and the friend she eventually becomes as she remains in the Footlights Club.
		This film benefits from a truly amazing cast: Hepburn is glorious as Terry, an independent, in-your-face girl from the upper class, unsure why she's not liked by her new friends as she blithely (and unknowingly) talks down to them; but fiercely loyal and protective of them nonetheless.
