ZIEGFELD FOLLIES (1946)

[Gryphonalia]

The colors! The Music! There are three movies (at least) based on the ZF, one in the thirties another after the war and then the 1960's Barbra Streisand version focused on Fanny Brice "Funny Girl". It's interesting to watch each to see how the clothes and sets change with the period, although THE period for the Follies was the Gilded Age up into the Twenties. Even the music slowed down by the sixties, as music had split between generations. This one certainly packs the color.

[MattTheSaiyan]

This film is really good. The only part I don't like is the Red Skelton sketch.

[TheMiscellaneousone]

@MattTheSaiyan care to explain?

[melodiouscanopies]

No music video looks this good!

This was two years in the making- you should have seen the sections that were eliminated from the final release print!

[TravellerFair]

Fascinating.

How did Cyd Charisse only get a 'with'? Was she not big yet?

[mca1218]

@ember514 the short answer is 'no, she wasn't yet.' This was her debut film at MGM. She had 2 one-minute dances in this film, both times in front of the chorus: at the beginning of the film in pink, and at the end of the film in blue, partially covered with soap bubbles. Talk about time capsules!!
