Flo Ziegfeld's midway attraction isn't drawing flies. "How's business, Ziggy?" a rival taunts. This winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture provides the career-chronicling answer. Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.'s business was good (with Broadway's legendary Follies and more), bad (including times the showman could scarcely rub two nickels together) and rarely lacking optimistic excess.

Fictionalized TributeA plot loosely based on the professional life os Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. Lots of musical numbers with lots of people (mostly women) on stage singing and dancing. William Powell plays Ziegfeld in a flat, predicable way. Not much exciting or spectacular and it doesn't hold up well..Score: 3/5

The Great ZigfieldTop Notch Biography from Irving Berlin about the life of the man who forever changed Broadway stage from it's rather unglamorous "Burlesque" and seedy side-show vaudeville roots and; through his obsessive need to idolize 'the fairer sex' made 'the stage' a respectable calling. Many early starlets of the silent screen were his ingenue. Hollywood only realized what a debt it owed him posthumously; but when they did get around to honouring him, they pulled out all the stops. A fine film, excellently told. ... Unfortunately, ITunes release has cut most of the second act out of this version of the film... Removing such great acts as " Shine On Harvest Moon" and Fanny Brice's "Yiddle With Your Fiddle (Play Some Ragtime!). Seriously ruining the film..Score: 2/5

Český
Revue Flo Ziegfelda zrovna netáhne davy. "Jak jdou kšefty, Ziggy?" dobírají si ho konkurenti... Tento snímek mapující historii jedné kariéry získal tři Oskary, včetně ceny za nejlepší film. Florenzi Ziegfeldovi Juniorovi se dařilo dobře (s legendami Broadwaye Follies a dalšími), špatně (včetně časů, kdy tento showman jen výjimečně nacházel v kapse dva pěticenty naráz) a jen zřídka ztrácel optimismus.(oficiální text distributora)

Magyar
Flo Ziegfeld mutatványos világszáma nem vonz éppen tömegeket. De nem volt ez mindig így! A nagyvilági hangulatú alkotás szórakoztatóan festi le ifjabb Florenz Ziegfeldet, az utánozhatatlan stílusú gavallért és gentlemant - Hollywood hercegét.

Tijdens de wereldtentoonstelling van 1893 in Chicago steelt Flo Ziegfeld de vriendin van zijn succesvolle buur Billings. Dit blijft zich gedurende hun hele leven herhalen. De Franse revue-ster Anna Held wordt zijn eerste vrouw, maar het is niet makkelijk voor haar om met hem getrouwd te zijn.

New Moon (1940)Comedy1940

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy pair up once again in the film version of the popular Sigmund Romberg operetta about a Parisian belle who becomes involved with a political prisoner. In 18th century Louisiana, haughty plantation owner Marianne de Beaumanoir (MacDonald) and her handsome bondservant Charles (Eddy), who is actually a French nobleman in disguise, are thrown together when Charles commandeers a ship carrying Marianne and a cargo of mail-order brides. Romance, adventure--and the French Revolution--ensue. The soaring Romberg musical score includes such favorites as "One Kiss," "Stout-Hearted Men," "Lover Come Back to Me," "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," and "Wanting You."

The Divorcée summary, synopsis, reviews
The DivorcéeRomance2008

Norma Shearer earned an Academy Award for playing the not so gay divorcée in this pre-Code offering based, loosely, on Ex-Wife, a 1929 Ursula Parrott novel. Shearer is Jerry, a socialite who marries handsome Ted (Chester Morris) after a whirlwind courtship. But Ted is not exactly the faithful type and after three years of what she in her naïveté considered marital bliss, Jerry learns of his affair with Janice (Mary Doran). "It meant nothing," Ted assures her but Jerry is devastated and decides to investigate adultery for herself by sleeping with Ted's best friend, Don (Robert Montgomery). When she discovers that the old double-standard still applies, Jerry announces that henceforth Ted, and only Ted, is no longer welcome in her bed. After a string of lovers who mean little or nothing to her, Jerry falls for an old flame, Paul (Conrad Nagel), but when she understands the effect their affair has on Paul's poor disfigured wife, Dorothy (Helen Johnson, aka Judith Wood), Jerry returns to Ted, who still loves her despite it all.

Strange Interlude (1932) summary, synopsis, reviews
Strange Interlude (1932)Drama1932

Norma Shearer and Clark Gable, who provided potent screen chemistry in 1931's A Free Soul, smolder again in the 1932 film version of Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, a compelling and complex drama of jealousy, grief, madness, lust and love. Shearer plays a woman haunted by the death of her sweetheart and by her father's unnatural obsession. She marries a man she doesn't love - and has a child through an adulterous liaison with a handsome doctor (Gable), a secret they keep throughout their lives. The play's famed soliloquies, in which the characters express their thoughts to the audience, made a transition to celluloid as voiceovers, lending a bold, experimental quality to the production.

In a romantic romp based in part on Noel Coward's Tonight at 8:30, Norma Shearer is the princess and Melvyn Douglas the baron, a ne'er-do-well making his living as a professional guest in the homes of awe-struck Americans. But when the two fall in love and marry, the jig is up. It seems the baron's hostesses much preferred him single. Could it be that one of these pampered patricians will have to get...a job?
