So Ned Sparks promises chorus girls Aline MacMahon, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, and Ginger Rogers in this wonderful pre-Code movie about mounting a successful Broadway show during the height of the Great Depression. This is really two shows in one: The first concerns the aforementioned mounting of the show, with music and lyrics by likeable but mysterious Dick Powell, Ruby’s new boyfriend. The second, and my favorite of the two, is how Dick’s older brother and legal guardian, banker Warren William, arrives in town to pay off Dick’s girlfriend. Trouble is, when he and friend Guy Kibbee arrive at the showgirls’ apartment, they mistakenly believe Joan Blondell is the squeeze. This is where she and Aline decide to take the two swells for all their worth, like any self-respecting golddigger would have to. Expert comedic scenes follow as the two big businessmen are putty in the hands of the chorusgirls. This is the first time I ever saw Warren William, and when he puts the moves on Joan Blondell, I knew I had to find more movies with him. Losing his Boston reserve through too many drinks, he tells her he loves her, holding her with such passion as he kisses her that all her resistance melts away–this is the sexiest celluloid kiss I’ve ever seen. He’s just incredible. And all this is in addition to Harry Warren’s great score, including the naughty “Pettin’ in the Park” , megahit “We’re in the Money”, romantic “Shadow Waltz”, and the grand finale piece, “Remember My Forgotten Man”, a paen to the fate of the WWI vets now on breadlines and living a Depression tramp’s life. Consider “Golddiggers of 1933″ as a time capsule back to the Great Depression’s frothiest comedies–open and enjoy!
This movie, Gold Diggers of 1933, is one of those excellent classics that time cannot render dated or corny in any way. How’s about those musical numbers with that Busby Berkeley incredibly talented touch? How’s about the cinematography? And how’s about the casting of Ginger Rogers, Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and many more talented actors to make this film so very, very special! (Indeed, look for Busby Berkeley himself in the movie playing the role of the Call Boy!)

Although the principle plot concerns three young women desperately trying to make it during the depths of the Great Depression, viewers even today can relate to the tough economic times for many people throughout the world currently. The three young women, along with Dick Powell, try to put on a show but Brad’s (Dick Powell’s) older brother wants to get him away from what he feels is the cheap and tasteless world of the theater. And there’s laughs, too! To keep the laughs coming there is some game playing–to the hilt! The girls convince Brad’s older brother that Polly, Brad’s girlfriend, is actually someone else! The girls then proceed to con J. Lawrence Bradford (Brad’s older brother and trustee of his estate) and his sidekick (the family lawyer) into buying them hats, furs, pet dogs, and even a car! After many shenanigans there’s a happy ending-but I won’t spoil it for you here! GRIN
Meanwhile there’s another plot going on–that of putting on the show so they can all become rich and famous. Of course, the numbers they perform are stellar and classic, and leave the question: how could they ever get a Broadway stage to accommodate all these actors at once in real life? But you know what? The answer is: who cares? GRIN The electric violins, fade-ins and choreography are very well done for the movies of the time and overall the movie holds your attention extremely well.

The movie ends with a spectacular number “The Forgotten Man.” This was at the time a tribute to the World War One veterans who were now reduced to standing on breadlines for the little food they could obtain. The singing is superb, principally sung by Joan Blondell and Etta Moten. The audience sees the marching of the veterans which represents the struggles and battle they faced constantly during the war; then you see the men standing on breadlines and being chased away by police when they have nowhere to sleep but the sidewalk. I also agree with the reviewer who writes that they were reminded of the Vietnam War by this number. Very sad; and superbly done!
Other great numbers in the movie, as you may already know, are the opening number of “We’re In The Money” and “Pettin’ In The Park,” which was extremely racy for its time. You will love these numbers!
The quality of the sound and image is excellent. The tape played well in my VCR. Of course, you don’t get the extras you would have gotten on a DVD–can we get this on DVD, anyone? SMILE
I recommend this movie for classic film fans and fans of the numerous stars in the film. The musical numbers are excellent and every bit of what you’d expect from Busby Berkeley. This film is hard to find-for a good reason! It’s excellent-buy it! GRIN
