GOLD DIGGERS IN PARIS

Gold Diggers in Paris
Warner Bros., 1938, Color, 105 minutes
Released June, 1938

Highlighted by stunning musical sequences directed by Busby Berkeley, this classic follows the owners and dancers from a cash-strapped New York City club as they are mistaken for members of a prestigious ballet group and invited to perform in Paris. Not wanting to turn down a free trip, the hoofers pose as classically trained performers while trying to step up their skills. Rudy Vallee, Rosemary Lane, Hugh Herbert star. Includes the songs "The Latin Quarter," "Put That Down in Writing," "Day Dreaming (All Night Long)," and more.
