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

The Shadow of Suicide In Britain suicide is as common as death on the roads. Every year 5,000 people kill themselves and many more attempt to. Almost everybody who has lost someone close through suicide feels isolated from the rest of us - normal grief is intensified by feelings of guilt, shame and rejection. 'I feel that because of the suicide other people are afraid of me ... I want contact, but there is space between me and most people around me.'
Three families left behind talk about how they feel one year, three years and nine years after a suicide.

Bitter Cold
Twelve men take freezing baths until they can bear them no longer; are injected with chemicals which make them frightened; shiver naked in cold rooms. All to see if man can adapt to the ferocious Antarctic climate. Later they cross the ice, in conditions of deliberate hardship, isolated in flimsy tents. The stresses become intolerable, not only because each man is an experimental guinea pig, but, by running his own uncomfortable and sometimes frightening human experiments, each has a chance to be tormentor and tormented. It may teach about man's ability to adapt to the Antarctic - but it taught them much more about themselves.
Narrator Paul Vaughan

Perisher:
Champagne or Chirpy?
Passing 'The Perisher' means command of a submarine.
Failing means never going to sea in one again. There's one sight the four would-be captains dread - 'Chirpy'
Finch putting on his sweater. It can only mean the submarine is about to surface so that one of the 'Perishers' can be taken off - never to return.
