Flutterby™! : 1936: The Great Ziegfeld

We watched the 1936 Best Picture winner The Great Ziegfeld. An amazing movie - over three hours. Great acting and catchy music (I'm still humming some of the tunes). The producer collaborated with Ziegfeld's wife to turn out something not disparaging while creating a great movie. Rather ironic, though, that Ziegfeld's greatest hit was in the movies - the very force that seemed to facilitate his fall from grace. This is another tip-of-the-hat to Broadway stage performances but the acting is clearly more seasoned to the medium.
