Thank you for the technicolor footage of Goldiggers of Broadway (as much of it, anyway). Enjoyed Nick Lucas on guitar singing his signature hit, Tiptoe through the Tulips (before Tiny Tim, of course) and Winnie Lightner's comedic take on the Statue of Liberty in the dressing room, along with the finale dance scene. Wonderful.
The very last dancer before the screen goes dark is actor George Raft, then best known as a nightclub performer famous for his 'lighting fast Charleston'. Here's a clip from another 1929 movie, 'Side Street' where he does a variation of it. th-cam.com/video/lhuCC-x5DTM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_9P3kMAvTvJht-sj
Love this! Thanks SO much for sharing this treasure...😌 I've only seen the Gold Diggers of 1933 what a treat to see the one from '29! And it's always a treat by itself to hear Nick Lucas crooning and strumming.😚
Ich bin begeistert von der Mode der 20 er Jahre sowohl bei den Männern wie den Damen dieser Epoche. Auch die Frisuren sind sehr apart. Würde mich sehr interessieren wie die durchschnittlichen Bürger damals lebten. Meine Großmutter wurde Anfang der 20 er geboren und schien der Zeit weit voraus bis der Krieg ausbrach und die Frauen durch die religiöse Beeinflussung stark in ihrer Autonomie beeinträchtigt wurde. Vielen Dank für die eingestellte Aufnahme 😃 sie haben mich fühlen lassen wie offen es noch in den 20 er war.💃🎉
When i was a teenager in the latter 1960s, CBS showed these old musicals every Sat afternoon. I enjoyed watching them. Now companies have bought them and charge us money to watch them. What a horrible country we live in!
Just saw a woman on a train platform holding a bunch of flowers ridiculously high above her head and couldn't help but think of the Spirit of Liberty and Progress of Some darn thing or other over here....
Wow, that's a high bar to meet! My best pre-code is Joan and Etta in the incredibly moving final scene of GD of 1933. Hard to find a full clip that runs the full time, it's so amazing to see what Busbee did. Sad that most kids growing up today will never appreciate any of these people!
Winnie Lightner who muffs her lines at the end was married to the director Roy Del Ruth. This was also the most popular color motion picture until "Gone With the Wind" ten years later.
@@ianpeddle6818 They’re emulating Ziegfeld. He’d have his “American Beauties” walking back & forth on the stage behind the other performers, sometimes to the intense irritation of those performers, if you’ve ever read anything about WC Fields. So you see it a lot in these very early musicals.
They managed that the color palette of a rusty army tank looks not that bad.

Such a shame no one saved all of the footage; The performers were dedicated.
A good portion got destroyed in storage by a fire. Luckily they were able to recover some good points!

This is a live performance, it is the real thing
Loved this! So much talent. Male 'hoofers' had to be acrobats as well. Amazing. Thank you 😊
Another great Al Dubin song.

All silent movies are in the public domain now, including the first "talkie" _The Jazz Singer_ (1927).

Yes, by far my favorite scene on TH-cam
Cocaine must’ve been flying on this set

@@hilakummins3104 That’s a amazing 🎬 as well. Not only very emotional but also relevant to the times. Honestly that’s my favorite 🎥 from that era.
I actually enjoyed it as entertainment not as a film scholar.

Is that Tiny Tim's dad?
Tiny Tim was a clown. This is a singer.

Talk about overdoing it, there are so many people on stage you're afraid the floor will collapse.
Early sound films were trying to recreate what was seen on Broadway that’s why the stage is very busy. More entertaining than most modern shite though
