Plots(1)
It's the summer season at a swanky resort, and none of the employees have any qualms about fleecing the rich guests for all they're worth in this madcap Busby Berkeley farce. Dick Curtis (Dick Powell) sings and romances Ann Prentiss (Gloria Stuart), but her shrill millionaire mom (Alice Brady) insists she marry eccentric T. Mosley Thorpe (Hugh Herbert) instead. Meanwhile, brilliant Russian theater director Nicoleff (Adolphe Menjou) prepares to put on the annual charity show. The show itself contains two of Berkeley's most hallucinatory numbers: "The Words are in My Heart," with its rows of twirling baby grand pianos, and the eerie "Lullaby of Broadway."

Even though I thought Gold Diggers of 1935 was a good musical, the final number showed me that it could have been better. Especially the dance sequences are excellent. The mass dance sequence is absolutely amazing. These films knew their strong points and made the most of them. The ending was truly the highlight. Gold Diggers of 1935, however, had a much more entertaining and calmer passage.
