The musical Gold Diggers of 1933 was directed by Mervyn Leroy. This black and white film was able to grab the viewers attention without the color. The use of cartoons before the movie also gave this film a uniqueness that helped grab the attention of its viewers.
After this preemie cartoon, the movie consisted of a lot of singing, music, and dancing. The dancers, beautiful girls with long skinny legs, would dance around with silver coins around their private areas, and would have other extravagant costumes. When these dancers find out their manager stopped paying his bills they were left with no job. They were left with no source of income and needed to find another job during this time of depression.
After some time passed there was word that their manager Mr. Hopkins was putting on a new show and needed dancers. He arrived at all the dancers homes and said he didn't have enough money to put the show on but there was a show. This ended in Mr. Hopkins getting money from Brad, who fell in love with one of the dancers named Polly. Trixie, another dancer that is friends with Polly, thought that Mr. Hopkins had stolen the money. Although Trixie thought this she still went on with wanting to do the show because she needed money, as did everyone else.
The movie Gold Diggers of 1933 was an impressive movie. At first seeing that it was black and white made me think that it would be a really old fashioned movie that wouldn't hold my attention. I was proved wrong and enjoyed watching and listening to the singing and dancing. The costumes made things alive and vibrant even though there was no color. I was surprised in the way the movie was made, since it was during the 1930's. I would defiantly recommend this movie to other people learning about Dance in films, or people who enjoy watching old fashioned movies.
