Gold
Diggers of 1937, The
heyday of the Warner Bros./Busby Berkeley musicals was
on the wane by 1936. Hollywood musicals by the mid-30s
were starting to shift to "book numbers," with characters
singing and dancing when they should have been talking
or walking. "Gold Diggers of 1937" is an attempt by Berkeley
to follow this trend, but still hang onto what had worked
in the past for him. The films best musical
number is "All's Fair In Love and War".
