Gold Diggers of 1933

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

continues the season of great Warner Brothers pictures starring Warren William, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Ned Sparks, Ginger Rogers

With its racy dialogue, revealing costumes and eye-opening production numbers staged by Busby Berkeley, this Warner Brothers spectacular epitomised the Hollywood musical of the 30s. But against the show business background, it also reflects the problems of the day - economic hardship and the unemployment of the depression.
