*** Fashions of 1934 is a lively and elegant musical with musical numbers master Busby Berkeley and many beautiful women. William Powell was a great actor. It is the film, the skin of a bold and unscrupulous seducer. Powell manages the feat of leaving Bette Davis in the background, with its crisis of humor and jealousy. The actress complained about the appearance imposed by the studio, similar to Greta Garbo. Although beautiful, Bette curiously seems to clash with the rest of the cast, fun and cheerful.
Has anyone ever read or do you know where we can find the article written by the irritated mother entitled “I don’t want my daughter growing up to be a human harp?”
One of the greatest actresses ever..
Miss. Bette Davis
Bette Davis said she hated being tarted up for this movie and refused to be afterward.
I still think she looks great even though it wasn't her thing.
Not my genre but I’ll watch almost anything from the WB from the golden era and William Powell! An actor I absolutely adore
