Song 'n' Dance: Gold Diggers of 1933

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

continues a season of musicals today starring Warren William Joan Blondell
With its racy dialogue, revealing costumes and stunning production numbers staged by Busby Berkeley , this Warner Bros' 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.
Screenplay by ERWIN GELSEY and JAMES SEYMOUR
Based on a play by AVERY HOPWOOD Directed by MERVYN LEROY
