Review of Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) by Dave H — 31 Jan 2014
Not really my thing, usually. I had my fill of gold diggers a few years back. But I enjoyed this film a bit more expected, a bit more than for the sake of mere historical curiosity. Sure the Busby B numbers are trippy madness, up there with some 2001 sequences as "scenes to watch while stoned".
If you're into that type of thing. (The baby in particular needs to be seen to be believed). The music didn't do much for me, but surprisingly the (sex) farcical comedy did - some pre-Hayes code goodness here, more than a few clever, cynical chuckles to go along with the predictable corn.
"Peabody, you're disgusting".
