Get this! Gold Diggers Of Broadway 1929 has entered the public domain this year along with the songs associated with it!

i've seen Technicolor from 1930 but it didn't look this good

i hate rhapsody in blue but this is REALLY cool, antique set design, it's so flashy and i love the art deco feel of things from this era. seeing them in set design and in costume design, despite only being two-color, is awesome!

Excellent restoration of 2 color Technicolor! Even the soundtrack sounds great. Interesting that the floor and background curtains look black and white, but presumably that was the way they were originally and nothing to do with the restoration. Thanks for this!

the mint green looks really strange to us, but it was only 2-color Technicolor meaning it could only capture red or green well. still it is amazing. watching the huge piano open and the musicians inside playing- we will never see anything like that again!

All the technicolor negatives had to be returned to the technicolor corporation. They needed storage space in the late 1940s so they destroyed most of the 2 color negatives. But there were black and white copies made of many of the films for TV broadcast. Unfortunately since they did not have the vitaphone discs for Gold Diggers of Broadway they just junked the negatives without making a B/W copy.

Thanks for posting this, BUT to my eyes, the two-strip Technicolor is barely evident here. It's far more vivid in the Criterion home video edition of this film.

Not just a sequence; the whole film was in 2-strip Technicolor, beautifully restored. Original color, not colorized.

Apparantly Kurt Cobain is in this film

*SWEEEEEEEEEETIEEEEEEE!!!!!*

When performers had real talent! Most were triple threats: Dance, Sing, Act

Would it be possible to use the color fragments to teach artificial intelligence, so it could restore the color of the as bw surviving elements.

Amazing performance from Liza!!!!! Bravo !!🙌🏼 ❤🎶🤩👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹

This is marvellous 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing this phenomenal piece of cinematic history!!🥰❤👏🏼👏🏼

Kool 🎉 hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8

These clips show you how the world was back in 1929. The first clip was from On With The Show, and showed actors being late to a play. One actor ask the man what his lines are, and he says, "You walk on and say: "Here's the Whiskey & Soda, Sir!", Then you drink it yourself and get a laugh.", and then when he asks him where the script is, he answers him with "The cat had kittens on one last week in the prop room". The second clip is from the lost movie, "The Gold Diggers of Broadway", where Winnie Lightner's character begs Albert Gran's character to buy her a car. (Winnie's character also uses the word "automobile" more often than the word "car".)

It starts at 0:43.

outstanding - with the man himself on piano - Bing Crosby's first film - does the movie musical 'Words and Music' survive - it dates from 1929 - Duke Morrison has a supporting role - a year later he would change his name to John Wayne

I would have love to have seen the whole thing ty

At 2:00, one musician must need special attention, the conductor is leading a single player

So, the main question is : why does George Gershwin NOT play the piano ? King of jazz is all about Paul Whiteman, who ordered "rhapsody in blue" from George Gershwin, in 1924 , so, why ? ....

Awesome thanks!

her father was a thief

Superb, thank you for your efforts in showing us such a beautiful performance.

The pianist Roy bargy was really a great pianist and composer, his novelty rags are the egual of Gershwin or anyone else.

Am I the only one here who think of and see Tom n Jerry with this song???

That'd be nice if they found some color footage of Ethel Waters from On With The Show.

I'm pretty sure that everything that is green in this clip should have been blue but they fu*ked up majorly during the restoration

It's very green because they were showing off the two-strip process, but they didn't have the three-strip blues yet . My great uncle was George Whiteman's orchestrator and personal assistant, and they finally got blue to work with the three strip process in 1935, where you can see them showing off blue colors.

Rhapsody in Blue presented with a green color palette! Some comments argue that ageing of the nitrate film caused a color shift. But I question that since the flesh tones are correct and the neutrals in some of the props and background are also as close to neutral as two-strip ever got. On the other hand in this clip th-cam.com/video/oadzppD9Rv8/w-d-xo.html of the same scene the color is a light blue (cyan). Maybe Universal used the wrong dye bandpass for the blue-green strip? This clip is sharper of the two, but the other clip is probably a better rendition of the color seen at the time. Rhapsody in Blue was commissioned and premiered by Paul Whiteman in 1924, whom the movie is about and appears with his orchestra in this clip. Notice that the clarinetist in the clip is not actually playing the instrument. Practice was to record musical soundtracks then play them pack while musical scenes were shot starting with this film - something Whiteman insisted on. The rest of the orchestra is playing, but what you hear is not what they were playing when then scene was shot.

Is that George Gershwin (the composer) on the piano?

Total class.

This looks astoundingly good for a film made over 90 years ago!

Absolutely beautiful!

And when 3 Color Technicolor came into existence, the rest was history. But Any Color film history, is important!

Very avant-gard

It looks like they’re in the Emerald City

Is there any way to see this version of the film? This looks strikingly different that the Criterion version, which is slightly blue-shifted and with flatter gamma- though it could be in my head.

I don't think it looked that good in 1930. Gotta love turquoise!

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small...

Great Restoration. Eddie Lang looks wonderful. Is Frankie Trumbauer in this? It can not be Technicolor, but colorisation. The audio was recorded in the studio and 'lip synced' on stage. The production is gaudy and pure CORN. The dancers are cheesy! Rhapsody In Blue did not require this corn. Moreover, when Bix Beiderbecke wrote "In A Mist" in 1928, he made 4 minutes of Jazz composition that blew George Gershwin out of the water. Not even Gershwin's Preludes can beat "In A Mist", "Flashes" or The Davenport Blues". When this was made, Bix was dying in a small flat in Queens and he was not yet 30. By the time Bix was my age, he had been dead for 30 years.

It's odd how film preservation went over at Warner Brothers. A B programmer like Dancing Sweeties survives, but the film that made more money than any film until Gone With The Wind - Gold Diggers of Broadway - only retains the soundtrack and some fragments.

The quality of this reconstruction is exquisite. Although to us, the “blue” color appears turquoise, in 1930, printed on nitrate stock, it may have appeared significantly bluer due to the “silvering” effect of the nitrate. Until somebody contrives a way to mimic this effect artificially, we’ll never know.

A two strip colour version of the Rhapsody was made by UFA in Berlin. It featured a young South African pianist who had recently graduated from the RCM, Isadore Goodman, who then moved to Sydney and taught at the Sydney Conservatorium and was the first soloist in the ABC subscription symphony series in 1932.He became a stalwart of the Australian music scene.He recorded the Rhapsody late in his career--the recording is on youtube

Beautiful production. I can only imagine what those Astaire Rogers musicals must have been like in color! But those cheap narrow minded executives chose profit over creating timeless art in color as it was meant to be

Writers must have been tripping hard when they wrote this scene.

The negatives in the Technicolor camera were black & white film to represent the primary colours. But the orthochromatic b&w negative film of the day meant that blue could not be represented. (This is why 1920s b&w silent film scenes shot outdoors show an obviously bright sky as white). It wasn't until a couple of years later, in the early 1930s, that the wider range panchromatic b&w film became available and Technicolor could progress its "three-strip" process to give all the colours of the spectrum on a film print, not just red and green. Cheers

Adding to what LordRufus said in the comments, this looks like a cut scene from the Emerald City from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
