Remember My Forgotten Man - Gold Diggers of 1933

If the current recession can produce as memorable music, film. theater, art and design as did the Great Depression then something worthwhile may come out of it.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
This is from Gold Diggers of 1933, the two relevant scenes edited together.

It still packs a punch, and resonates today.

After watching this movie I had this song stuck in my head. It's surprisingly catchy.

@AdamaGeist all hail social marxism, I guess...

Its really pathetic, is it not?

No. It won't. Ever. Because we DON'T feel as much empathy. Because we don't respect people who are wounded and broken in wars. Because when push comes to shove, we've changed the nature of things.

And as such, we won't have something like this ever again. When the 'Three Stooges' movie has SNOOKIE of all people in it, it's a large tell. We don't promote the great. We promote the low.

@OL55CADDY i never meant it couldn't happen again, just what we're going thru isn't as bad as that.

Is history repeating itself.

It's so amazing that they end the movie with this number! It was orginally to have appeared earlier in the picture. Powerful effect!

I love this song, and especially the singer. The actress who sang this lived to be a 102 =) Can't believe my grandparents were only 3 here...time sure does fly by.
