Gold Diggers Of 1935 - 1935 - 7/10

Not 42nd Street but damn, this is fun.
Young Dick works the summer resort to pay for med school.
(Factor in the Depression, and the undercurrents will make more sense.)
Wealthy, penny-pinching patron hires him to chaperone her daughter.
Meantime, a lavish fundraising show is underway.
Please, this is a Busby Berkeley musical. Despite sly jokes and innuendo the river runs to the finale.
And gracious, “Lullaby Of Broadway” is a showstopper: mammoth choreography, as Broadway baby says goodnight.
