Movie Reviews of Gold Diggers of 1937
Movie Review: One of Berkeley's post-code productions
Summary: 5 Stars
Busby Berkeley did his best work before the production code went in force. He thrived on tough dialogue, tough people, and tough situations. Unfortunately, the motion picture production code of 1935 was designed to wash away reality. Along with reality, the code washed away some of the potential energy from Berkeley's films. This is a good musical with plenty of good moments and a pretty good plot, with Dick Powell as an insurance agent that longs to break into show business. Joan Blondell is an ex-showgirl who is now a secretary. Victor Moore is a hypochondriac Broadway producer who wants to buy insurance from Powell and also has a couple of thieving partners. It's plenty of fun with some creative work by Berkeley as always, it's just not up to Berkeley's precode efforts.
Do note that this DVD, like the three disc Jazz Singer release from last fall, is advertised to include the two remaining excerpts from the lost 1929 film Gold Diggers of Broadway. However, the Jazz Singer did not have the "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" number, as it was advertised to have. This set should finally give us that last excerpt. The following are the extra features:
1997 documentary "Busby Berkeley: Going Through the Roof"
Technicolor historical short "The Romance of Louisiana"
Classic cartoons "Plenty of Money" and You and "Speaking of the Weather"
Two excerpts from 1929's "Gold Diggers of Broadway" (a lost film)
