Gold Diggers of 1935

OSCAR WINNER: Best Song - "Lullabye of Broadway" Dick Powell and Gloria Stuart star in Busby Berkeley's dazzling musical trifle Gold Diggers of 1935. It's New York City, 1935. In a world where the most important thing for a young woman is to snare a rich husband, wealthy Matilda Prentiss (Alice Brady) is willing to back a Broadway musical to catapult her beautiful daughter, Ann (Stuart), to stardom so she can take her pick of wealthy financiers. Ann surprises everyone by falling in love with impoverished, charming, golden-voiced bellhop Dick Curtis (Powell). But, in the end, true love will win the day, and everyone will be wowed by some of the greatest musical numbers ever recorded on film. Featuring the Oscar-winning "Best Song" ("Lullaby of Broadway"), the star of the film, Gloria Stuart, would later become known to a younger generation of movie-goers as the elderly survivor at the center of of the story in 1999's epic, Titanic.
