As a fan of the father of modern Broadway Shows (Follies) Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. I express my gratitude for sharing this video. Worth an appreciation.

Thanks. I enjoy her style, for some reason. She has gorgeous eyes as well.

Flo has an eye for ladies and it shows.

Believe me, in 80 years they will have clips of Britney Spears or Taylor Swift singing some mediocre pop song, with the heading "Forgotton Pop Star".

That was lovely.

Great song/singer. I'd love to see the movie, and Rio Rita too, if they filmed the latter. Thanks for posting, I've lost count of all the wonderful artists I've been introduced to because of you.

Great room/set

One of my favorite films. In spite of the silly comments below, This film was successful and opened to rave reviews (For example see the Variety and Film Daily reviews). The bomb for MGM in 1930 was clearly "It's A Great Life" which was a disaster everywhere thanks to the outdated singing and appearance of the two hussies known as the Duncan Sisters. The talent of Lawrence Gray was clearly wasted on that film.

LOVE THE ART DECCO ARCHITECTURE> LOVE THE VOICE OF THE SINGER AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE MUSIC> SHE HAS GREAT VOICE. rogharm thank you for posting this clip is great disregard the negativity.

Sad result, this film. Charles Kaley, previously a widely known recording artist on the 'Brunswick' label - tried for Hollywood, bombed in this. Most of the stars of the film were never seen on the screen again - Cliff 'Ukelele Ike' Edwards and Benny Rubin being the exceptions. Those stage actors seemed unable to 'hold back' on the e-mote-ing for these films. Terry's attempts to sing around the plum in her mouth do not enchant...
