Critic Reviews for Gold Diggers of Broadway
All Critics (29) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (2)
It is a production which everyone should see, for it represents the latest word in the fast-moving progress of the new show world of the screen and provides the most lavish, beautiful and satisfying entertainment the screen has yet offered.
All in all, this makes merry talkie-singie-dancie fare and the beauty of its color again reaches pictorial splendor.
Ann Pennington's dancing. Lilyan Tashman's "English" drawl. Miss Foster's rather winning, sweetness, and Gertrude Short's occasionally amusing comments are other facets of interest in a picture that Is light and diverting.
It is filmed entirely In technicolor, and the picture has a vivid reality and charm which a plain black and white photoplay does not possess.
If you really want to pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile, The Gold Diggers of Broadway stands ready to help you do it.
Winnie Lightner as Mable is the hit of the show with her excellent voice, her gags and her forgotten monologue that is a comedy classic.
