I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Nice effects though.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I give this movie a 10 rating because it includes one of the most powerful and effective few minutes ever committed to celluloid- "Forgotten Man". Its ironic that a 1930's pre-code musical would have a sequence that can sock you in the face and make you think with every viewing, but it does. Consider this bluesy number whenever you hear about the current Veterans Administration hospital outrages and you will realize that this small piece of film is absolutely timeless.Otherwise Gold Diggers of 1933 is a good musical with some fine dance numbers including the amazing "Neon Violins" that is as off the wall inventive as it is beautiful.This Hollywood movie-factory production is possibly one of the very few films that really affected you when you first saw it, thanks to "The Forgotten Man".

I like when real life events going on at the time are mentioned in films such as my title line being said by beautiful Ginger Rogers right after they shut down the theater due to delinquent bills by the director Ned Sparks. Next scene, three girls Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, and Aline McMahon are at their apartment wondering what they're gonna do for work. Ned then comes over with plans for a new show but is lacking the funds. Ruby, who can hear Dick Powell playing piano from their apartment, invites him over to join in the show as pianist. Powell also is able to get the money for them. Powell refuses though to take an acting part in the show when offered and won't tell them where he got the dough for them, leading the others to believe he was a bank robber, after reading a news headline about a robber who stole close to the same amount of money Powell gave them. Also the description of the robber is male, brown hair, and about 5'9', as is Powell. And it also helps explain his refusal for any acting parts in the show and him not wanting to be seen. Powell is a very good singer when singing one of the main show songs with beautiful Ruby "Pettin in the park". I loved it. I also loved the first song Powell played for everyone at Ruby's apartment along with another great song about the men in the breadline and it strikes a nerve about the depression. Also great is "We're in the money" led by Ginger Rogers. We get an interesting subplot with Aline and Warren William and Joan and Guy Kibee. Also little Billy Barty is back from the bedroom misunderstanding in "Honeymoon hotel" in "Footlight parade". I like the way he points up while on roller skates while being chased by police on roller skates. The way he pointed up, and the way he skated, I could tell he couldn't have been a real baby. And then the way the police on skates skate by looking up with their legs spread apart skating right over Billy was slightly ridiculous. The very first second I saw the police there before showing the skates on their feet I (and I'm sure others) thought it was the real police who found accused bank robber Powell. I like the way they showed it that way to give us a second of mind trick.

Millionaire turned composer Brad (Dick Powell) rescues unemployed Broadway people with a new play.You know, I'm very hit and miss on musicals. Some I really like, like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". Many more I could probably do without. This one is alright, though it could never be my favorite. The most notable song is "Petting in the Park", which seems rather risqué for the 1930s (but maybe I'm wrong).The only thing really making this film redeeming today is Ginger Rogers. Most of the other actors involved, including Dick Powell, have been largely forgotten. How this film continues to resonate with today's audiences, I have no idea. Most likely it does not.

After maybe about 15 years, I finally got to watch Gold Diggers of 1933 again and boy, it's even better than I remembered it! First off, there's the wonderfully fantastic opening number "We're in the Money" as warbled by Ginger Rogers in a skimpy coins costume especially as she also sings it in Pig Latin making it such an iconic scene to this day (I also remember it being presented as a lottery commercial in Jacksonville, Florida, when I lived there during the '90s). Then after the rehearsal is closed because of lack of funds, producer Ned Sparks then, months later, proposes to the other chorus girls a show about the Depression of which songwriter Dick Powell already has a song for but no words yet. By the way, the other girls are Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, and Ruby Keeler. Also, Sparks says a couple of ironic lines like "Cancel my contract with Warren and Dubin!" of which he meant the songwriting team of Harry and Al who wrote all the songs in this movie, and then comparing the team of Powell and Keeler to the Astaires on Broadway of which one of them, Fred, would eventually find a new partner in Ms. Rogers, who was in this scene, at RKO later in the year. There's also Warren William and Guy Kibbee in support of which the latter plays a similar role here as he did in 42nd Street except here, he's not in charge of the finances of the show nor does he ever realize he's being used by Ms. MacMahon. Oh, and while Ms. Rogers eventually became his new ingénue in 42nd Street, here she never gets the chance! Oh, and as a fan of It's a Wonderful Life, I have to note that Charles Lane, who was the one who told Mr. Potter about George Bailey's plans for Bailey Park, was the writer in 42nd Street and is the society reporter here who finds out about Dick Powell's real-life status. Powell, himself, is quite fine here whether singing "Pettin' in the Park" with Keeler-hey, get a load of 9-year old Billy Barty pulling the curtains as those girls are dressing up!-or being involved in the machinations of humiliating brother William. As for Berkeley, well, he tops himself here with not only the "Money" number but also another one involving neon violins and then there's the "Forgotten Man" number as first recited in spoken word by Ms. Blondell before segueing to Etta Molen singing those same words as we see many former World War I soldiers marching in the rain before those same men then end up on long lines at the soup kitchen before Joan then sings (through Marian Anderson's voice) the harrowing coda. Very powerful number to end a movie and it still feels heartbreaking just remembering it. So with all that, Gold Diggers of 1933 is not only still very funny and entertaining, it's also something worth thinking about when one remembers the era it was made and set in...
