Ziegfeld Girl: Review

starstarstarstar
This MGM extravaganza details the fortunes of Ziegfeld girls Susan Gallagher (Judy Garland), Sandra Kolter (Hedy Lamarr), and Sheila Regan (Lana Turner). Show business trouper Susan quits the vaudeville act run by her father (Charles Winninger) to further her Follies career, and soon falls in love with the brother (Jackie Cooper) of former elevator operator Sheila, another new Ziegfeld girl. Meanwhile, Sheila's head is turned by the glamor of it all, and she begins to hobnob with high society, especially Park Avenue socialite Geoffrey Collis (Ian Hunter). Left behind is truck driver Gilbert Young (James Stewart), who, in the hopes of winning back his wayward love, tries to make extra money as a bootlegger and winds up in prison. Sandra, the third Ziegfeld girl, finds life on the stage more eventful than life with her penniless violinist husband (Philip Dorn)--until she finally comes to her senses and realizes that love means more to her than show business. Eventually, Susan uses her success to renew interest in her father's career, while Sheila botches her life and career, becoming an alcoholic. For all the melodramatic goings on among the principals, the true stars of this entertaining film are, quite fittingly, the lavish, spectacular dance numbers, employing hundreds of Ziegfeld girls in glittering costumes in the best style of both Florenz Ziegfeld and Busby Berkeley. leave a comment
