Ziegfeld Girl
“GREATEST MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA OF ALL TIME!”
Discovery by Flo Ziegfeld changes a girl's life but not necessarily for the better, as three beautiful women find out when they join the spectacle on Broadway: Susan, the singer who must leave behind her ageing vaudevillian father; vulnerable Sheila, the working girl pursued both by a millionaire and by her loyal boyfriend from Flatbush; and the mysterious European beauty Sandra, whose concert violinist husband cannot endure the thought of their escaping from poverty by promenading her glamor in skimpy costumes.
A glittering, yet ultimately somber, look at the dreams and sacrifices behind Broadway's dazzling facade. It's a tale of ambition clashing with personal cost, wrapped in the opulent style of classic Hollywood musicals.
