Three Broadway Girls (1932):
A delightful comedy about three beautiful gold diggers who conspire to turn the male world upside down. When these three get together, no man is safe.
Cast: Madge Evans
Director: Lowell Sherman
Doll Face (1946):
Vivian Blaine stars in this musical as Doll Face Carrol, a burlesque queen who dreams of being in a Broadway show. Rejected by Broadway because of her background, she and her manager, Mike (O'Keefe), decide that if she publishes a memoir, it will earn her enough respect and fame that Broadway will be begging for her to star in a show. However, when Mike hires a ghost writer to write the book, he could not have imagined what Doll Face has planned for herself. Featuring Carmen Miranda and Perry Como singing "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba," DOLL FACE is a hugely entertaining musical.
Cast: Vivian Blaine
Director: Lewis Seiler, Perry Como
Producer: Bryan Foy
Moonlight Sonata (1937):
A young gentleman is forced to work for acceptance when he professes his love to a beautiful young and wealthy debutante. The location is Sweden and the dilemma begins when passengers from a plane that landed there because of bad weather end up staying at the young woman's huge estate. One of the passengers is a debonair man who begins to win the love of the debutante with his wit and charm. But our hero is able to expose him as nothing but a goldigging fraud, thus proving that he is worthy of the young lady's hand. Featuring acclaimed Polish concert pianist Ignance Paderewski.
Cast: Charles Farrell, Eric Portman, Ignace Paderewski
Director: Lothar Mendes
Second Chorus (1940):
Director H.C. Potter keeps the pacing snappy in this musical comedy about two trumpet-playing buddies competing for gigs and for the heart of their lovely manager, Ellen Miller (Paulette Goddard). When Ellen gets hired and moves away, the two decide to leave their college campus and follow her to New York. Once there, they have numerous misadventures while auditioning for a spot in conductor Artie Shaw's band. Artie Shaw confidently plays himself, and Fred Astaire and Charles Butterworth are both sweet and funny as Danny and Hank, the feuding friends. Some of the film's notable songs include "Would You Like to Be the Love of My Life," "Poor Mr. Chisholm," and "Swing Concerto." Paulette Goddard and Fred Astaire have one breezy accomplished dance number in the film, which was shot in one take under protest from Goddard, who swore after hours of tutoring from the master that she just couldn't dance. The rest of the numbers are danced solo by Mr. Astaire who is a joy to watch.
Cast: Fred Astaire
Director: Ben Hecht, H.C. Potter
Producer: Boris Morros, Robert Stillman
Mr. Imperium (1951):
The romance between a freewheeling prince and a beautiful stage performer (Lana Turner) reaches a crossroads when their different lifestyles threaten to tear them apart.
Cast: Lana Turner
Director: Don Hartman
Manhattan Merry-Go-Round (1937):
A musical comedy featuring the orchestras of Ted Lewis, Cab Calloway, Louis Prima. The story is about a sentimental racketeer who acquires a record company. The film is based on a hit radio show that ran from 1932 to 1949. Academy Award Nominations: Best Interior Decoration.
Cast: Phil Regan
Director: Charles Riesner
Producer: Harry Sauber
Royal Wedding (1951):
Dancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire's most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire's hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it's least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie's release in 1951.
Cast: Fred Astaire, Jane Powell
Director: Stanley Donen
Producer: Arthur Freed
Happy Go Lovely (1951):
In this fine musical comedy, the producer of a big Broadway show hires a chorus girl for the dubious reason that her boyfriend is a millionaire. His financial support would be of invaluable assistance to the floundering production.
Cast: David Niven
Director: H. Bruce Humberstone
Glorifying the American Girl (1930):
A chorus girl's story makes for some vintage dance numbers in this early musical typical of the Ziegfeld era, produced by Ziegfeld himself.
Cast: Mary Eaton
Director: Millard Webb
The Stork Club (1945):
When a hat-check girl at the Stork Club inadvertently saves a billionaire's life she suddenly finds herself very wealthy, sparking the jealousy of her G.I. boyfriend.
