CURRENT COUNT: 84 out of 84

The Great Ziegfeld (1936)


Here we go. This is the guy that was married to Glinda from The Wizard of Oz. This film is a musical about one of the most famous men of Broadway.

The cast in this film is dazzling, to say the least. The supporting roles are filled by the lovely Myrna Loy, Luise Rainer (the most senior Oscar winner still alive), also Ray Bolger (AKA Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz) in an extremely impressive dance number, and Fanny Brice (not Barbra's version of her but the real "Funny Girl.").

The musical numbers are quite memorable. The one that sticks with me is the one where the camera does one continuous shot of the "wedding cake" type decoration. My explanation will not do it justice. The video is probably on Youtube so be sure to look for it there.
