It’s Friday and I’ve been pretty slack with my consistency on posting vintage pics. I watched a bit of Gold Diggers of 1933 last night, an Oscar nominated movie from 1933 featuring Ginger Rogers and Joan Blondell. It was a bit ridiculous but, the clothing was really inspiring. Art Deco abound, glitz, sequins, sex appeal, and babies on roller skates!
This site said this about the movie:
Gold Diggers of 1933 was the first film Berkeley did after his huge success with 42nd Street. It’s also the first of his films with “The Great Depression” as a theme. The first production number of “We’re In the Money” was a clear sign of the times and how money had become such a problem for Americans during the 1930′s. Berkeley was a huge fan of Roosevelt and this number is his attempt to help us cope the the hard times in a similar way to what Roosevelt was doing with “The New Deal”.
