Gold Diggers of 1933 is usually not my type of movie that I would like. But this movie was surprisingly very good, it had many different elements that made it wonderful. The singing in the movie tied everything together along with the cheesy storyline. The characters and acting was actually very good for the time period.
The music was a main part of this movie and they incorporated it very well into the movie. The movie was about a musical while they were in the great depression and the show girls finding love with a guy next door who happened to write music. The music was upbeat and was fast paced most of the time throughout the film which was perfect for it and its themes. The showgirls were amazing because of the acting, the scenes with Lawrence, Brad’s brother was great because of the way the showgirls fooled him. The second show for Barney was ran solely on Brad’s funds because it was during the Great Depression causing many people to have no money. Brad was the composer for this show, and he did an excellent job on the music. The music went well with the show they put on because it was about love which was the theme of the show.
During this time period people went to these types of shows to escape from the reality of the real world for a little because of how depressing it was. The music in the film was fantastic and the way the incorporated it into the film. Musicals aren’t always my favorite types of movies but this one was exceptionally given the fact that it was in 1933. The scenes were great and so was the acting in it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who like music.
