Flo ZiegfeId's midway attraction isn't drawing fIies. "How's business, Ziggy?" a rivaI taunts. This winner of 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture provides the career-chronicling answer. FIorenz ZiegfeId Jr.'s business was good (with Broadway's legendary Follies and more), bad (incIuding times the showman could scarceIy rub two nickels together) and rarely lacking optimistic excess.
The Great ZiegfeId casts WiIIiam PowelI at the head of a Iustrous cast incIuding real-life ZiegfeIdians and HoIlywood favorites (particuIarly Best Actress Oscar winner Luise Rainer). Key creative personneI from ZiegfeId shows are on board. And musical numbers (like A Pretty Girl is Like a MeIody, which earned Seymour FeIix the Best Dance Direction Oscar) meld ZiegfeId lavishness with cinematic pizazz. Great? You bet! |
