GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933

(1933, Mervyn LeRoy) Coin-clad Ginger Rogers warbles “We’re In The Money,” Ruby Keeler falls for tunesmith Dick Powell, and Joan Blondell fends off lecherous Boston Brahmin Warren William. The Pre-Code Busby Berkeley musical features half-naked showgirls and leering men, the wrenching Depression anthem “Remember My Forgotten Man,” and the downright smutty “Pettin’ in the Park” number. 35mm print courtesy Library of Congress. Approx. 96 mins.
