I just saw this a few weeks ago. Much better than its sequels, this has some of the weirdest, most wonderful, musical sequences ever! Watch for Busby Berkeley himself as the stagehand calling people into places for the "Forgotten Man" number. - Kelly , posted 05/05/06 |

Gold Diggers of 1933 Directed by Mervyn Leroy US, 1933, b/w, 96 min. With Warren William, Aline MacMahon, Ruby Keeler Warner Brothers built on the success of 42nd Street with the first of four Gold Diggers films. More elaborately plotted than its predecessor, the film features three young showgirls looking for their next big break. When one (Keeler) is courted by a young blueblood (Dick Powell), his brother and the family lawyer do their best to break them up until they fall for the other two girls. Ginger Rogers gets things off to a lively start with her inspired, pig Latin performance of “We’re In the Money” and Berkeley continues to dazzle with numbers that are titillating (“Pettin’ in the Park”), elegant (“The Shadow Waltz”), and somberly patriotic (“Remember My Forgotten Man”).
