Lulu Belle is a 1948 American drama musical romance film directed by Leslie Fenton and starring Dorothy Lamour.

[1] The film was a loose and highly sanitized adaptation of Charles MacArthur and Edward Sheldon's hit 1926 Broadway play of the same name.

Lulu Belle was transformed from a black prostitute from Harlem into a white blues singer from Mississippi who could not be true to her boxer beau.

Although the film offered a change of pace for its star, Dorothy Lamour, it was not a success at the box office.

Famous Broadway singer Lulu Belle and Harry Randolph, her rich suitor, are found shot and severely wounded in her dressing room one night after the show.

She was performing in a dodgy place called the Natchez Café, and he was so taken with her that he left his fiancée and law practice to elope with her to New Orleans.

George manages to stick a fork in Butch's eye and put an end to his fighting career.

George meets Lulu right after the show that night and is sucked into her beam of charm again, when she proclaims her love for him.
