Movie Reviews of The Great Ziegfeld

Movie Review: The Race of Beautiful Women Has Been Terminated These Days
Summary: 5 Stars

I really don't know what should I write about this movie. It's Definately one of the best and most memorable movies I've ever seen. Although there are too much pointless broadway performaces but non of them were boring! the most magnificent show on the film, was the first major show. it made me dream and imagine. everything was perfect. everything! and I'd never seen too much beautiful ladies in one movie. too sad this movie is 70 years old and... I really think the race of beautiful women has been terminated. these days rarely you can find a beautiful woman with significant attraction. even in hollywood, there are not really beautiful actresses! in the middle of movie I found out that such a show could be very erotic in real and dreamed if I could go back through time and enjoy one of real Ziegfeld shows!
This movie worth to buy even for 100 dollars!

Movie Review: The Great Ziegfeld
Summary: 5 Stars

Top MGM musical recreates the glory days of the musical theatre, before movies overtook Broadway as our primary form of entertainment. The ever-charming, debonair Powell is perfect casting for Zeigfeld, and frequent co-star Myrna Loy is also on hand playing second wife Billie Burke. Winner of that year's Best Picture Oscar, Luise Rainer also won a statuette for her portrayal of "Ziggy"'s first wife Anna Held (her culminating phone scene is justly famous). Long but dazzling, "Ziegfeld" combines backstage drama with on-stage spectacle-in particular, don't miss that "Pretty Girl" musical number.

Movie Review: Oh This is Gold!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Great Ziegfeld is the example of the Golden Age in Hollywood. This is a masterpiece. Oh my God! "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" is far beyond borders... It is exquisit to see this kind of numbers.. I am really proud to have seen this marvelous, glorious film. This is pure gold!!!.. A too much deserved Oscar for Best picture of 1936. MGM proved to be "Champion In Musical Pictures".. But I am really amazed by this all star cast movie.. I can only say Oh My God!!

Movie Review: Powell as Ziggy is Great!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great cast, great movie. You'll recognize many of the actors from the Thin Man series. Powell made a lot of movies with the same group of people and this movie is one of their best. Wonderful staging, great reproductions of the Ziegfeld Follies and (dare I say it) great characterizations. A keeper.
(I had this on tape from TCM and wanted the DVD.)
