Review – Gold Diggers of 1937

Even by gold digger standards, this one’s not all that good. Dick Powell sells insurance in between the sparse musical numbers, and about half of the song and dance bits are bad enough to leave one longing to watch some more insurance selling. Particularly noteworthy is the show stopper, a complex number about love and war featuring giant rocking chairs, a huge bomb, and a variety of sex-and-violence strangeness. Some of these movies are weird in an entertaining way, but this one’s mostly just weird. See if desperate
