I can remember the showgirls exchanging some snide remarks backstage. I can't specifically remember any other instances where it passes all three tests. Though it's been a while since I've watched it.

The showgirls are not all named, and their snide remarks are about sleeping with the Duke. It pains me to admit because this is my favorite movie, but it fails the test.

I think this movie actually passes. There is a scene early one where Sateen and Marie are speaking about Satine's dreams of becoming a stage actress while she is trying on the red dress for the first time. Marie tells her that she'll be "lighting up the great stages of Europe" and Satine asks "do you think I could really be like the great Sarah?".

I agree with Jessica... I think this rating is worth a second look!
