the weakest of the gold digger franchise
6 May 2003
Fairly disappointing following the 1933 and 1935 entries in this series, this film sees Dick Powell in insurance and Joan Blondell as a showgirl who gets a job in his firm. He has a silly name and everyone is chasing a million dollar policy. Cue Victor Moore, that great comic actor, as the creaking gate who just has to be kept alive / not kept alive, depending on who you are. Not that big on songs or routines, two stand out - the garden party with all the duets on the weather, and All's Fair in Love and War, where the girls beat the boys with ... well, that would be giving it away...
