Review – Gold Diggers of 1933

Here’s an immortal classic of the fast-forward-through-the-talking ilk. The musical numbers in this Busby Berkeley opus are not to be missed, particularly the famous “We’re in the Money” opening number and the equally-well-known neon violins sequence later in the picture. Beyond that, however, this is little more than a corny stage door musical, complete with ingénues, wise-cracking producers, and the rest of the usual cast of characters. The final show-stopper, a tune about “forgotten men,” is too much a creature of its times to provide much amusement beyond the sheer spectacle of the set. But if you can stand the corn, this is a reasonably entertaining show. Mildly amusing
